General Motors has pocketed $5 billion in net profit so far this year, $1 billion more than crosstown rival Ford Motor, no surprise since GM is a larger company. But in North America, where the two carmakers compete most fiercely, Ford is way ahead.
Ford earned almost $6.5 billion in pre-tax profit selling vehicles in its home market through the first nine months of 2012. Its 11.2% operating margin on $57.8 billion of revenues (not counting Ford Motor Credit) was the company's best in the region since 2000. Just a few years back, GM would have been thrilled with its own 7.8% pre-tax margin in North America. But after emerging from bankruptcy in 2009 with a clean balance sheet, lower labor costs and fewer obligations, it should be doing better. The earnings gap with Ford has become a glaring issue for GM and its investors.
"We track where we are — how we are performing vs. Ford very closely," Chuck Stevens, GM's chief financial officer for the region, told analysts during an Oct. 31 conference call. "We've got a clear understanding of the gap. We know what we have to do to close it."
Chief Executive Dan Akerson said he's confident GM can improve its margins by the middle of the decade. "It will be a function of volume growth, even stronger brands, less complexity, and lower…costs, all of which is built into our business plan."
But a business plan is just that: a plan. GM has disappointed so many times before. The biggest risk is execution. Akerson, a former private-equity manager whose background is in telecommunications, is new to the auto industry. He's leading a young team of executives and trying to kick-start cultural change in a 100-year-old company where change is hard to swallow. A former U.S. Naval officer, Akerson rules with an iron fist and demands accountability. But at times, he has appeared to be floundering.
Meanwhile, competitors aren't letting up, despite a sluggish economic recovery and gridlock in Washington over taxes and spending.
Still, let's give credit where credit is due. GM has started to get its act together in many ways. Here are 10 reasons GM's profits should start to kick into high gear in 2013 and beyond.
1 – The next two years are huge for GM showrooms. Every carmaker tries to balance the cadence of its new vehicle introductions to ensure there is always something new on display, but some years inevitably end up being better than others. GM's financial troubles in 2009 meant it had to suspend or delay some products. Now the engineering pipeline is full again, and new vehicles are coming out in record numbers. GM says it will replace 80 percent of its lineup in the next two years, including its next-generation pickups and large crossovers which debut in mid-2013. "We are going to go from having the oldest portfolio in North America to the freshest portfolio," said Stevens. New products typically command higher prices, which roll right to the bottom line, and trucks, in particular, carry hefty profit margins. Citi Research says GM ought to realize $1 billion in extra profit in 2013 because of its stronger product offerings.
2 – GM has stopped giving away the store. The company has shown uncharacteristic pricing discipline over the past year, especially in recent months, by resisting the temptation to match rivals' discounts. In fact, GM's incentive spending has been falling through the year. In November, it spent about $2,800 per vehicle on incentives — everything from cash rebates, lease promotions, cheap loans and dealer incentives. That was equal to 8.8% of GM's average vehicle transaction price (ATP), below the industry average of 9.5% of ATP, according to J.D. Power and Associates' PIN report.
3 – GM's size is becoming an asset. For years, GM's sprawling, decentralized operations were an excuse for its global inefficiency. Now it's turning that around, leveraging its size by building more vehicles on shared global platforms, which reduces engineering costs. Ford is doing the same thing, but is about two years ahead, according to GM executives. GM's goal is for about 80 percent of the vehicles it sells to be based on one of a handful of global architectures, twice today's level.
4 – GM is hacking waste. Bankruptcy cleaned up GM's balance sheet, but it did nothing about the wasteful practices inside the company. Akerson is relentless about making GM a simpler company, which in turn, he argues, will lower its costs. GM cut an entire layer of management out of its product development unit, for instance, giving chief engineers more responsibility for product cost, quality and competitiveness. GM is also rebuilding its information technology infrastructure, bringing more tech expertise in-house. "Benchmarking proved what we knew intuitively — GM's outsourced IT model is expensive, inefficient, and outmoded," Akerson told analysts. "Now all of that is changing and it's going to help us manage the business with even more speed and precision."

Class 5 – Part 2
Back inside we are ready for the Taser demonstration. The boys, however, want to see it so we wait for a while.
The Taser will be demonstrated on a young female officer. This is part of her training regimen. Every officer issued a Taser must experience a Taser so they will know how it feels and only use it to protect themselves and others and gain control of a situation. The officer – Jennifer Dias – was pregnant when she would normally have gone through this training. Having had her baby (a healthy little girl) she is now cleared for the Taser.
With a bit of bravado, she gets in place on the mat, her arms held by two of the instructors. (This is because once the Taser hits she will have no control of her muscles and could fall face first.)
Shingler aims the Taser. There is a laser indicator for the purpose of aiming and his objective is to get the two probes on both hemispheres of her body (above and below the waist) from the back. This, he explains, is because the body's strongest muscles are at the back.
He fires.
Dias stiffens and an expletive or two come spitting out of her mouth. Five seconds later it is over and she is laid gently on the mat as the probes are removed. Although only five seconds long, it seems much longer to the subject being tased and it is long enough for handcuffs to be placed on a subject.
She jumps up completely back to normal and apologizes for her mouth.
She gets a round of applause.
It is now about 45 minutes since the pepper spray demonstration and the door finally opens to a red-eyed, blotchy faced Johnson. A cheer for him goes up. He immediately puts his face in front of the portable air conditioner to get the cold air.
He is a bit sheepish and clearly fully respectful of the impact of pepper spray.
Closing the class, Shingler points out that every use of force – be it pepper spray, the Taser or the baton – is reviewed by the department and every officer has to justify his use of whatever level of force he has employed.
"We use the minimum amount of force necessary to accomplish the objective," said Shingler. "Common sense is the best tool an officer has."

Technology in the Classroom
Zachary Freer
Class of 2013
BS, Technology Education
"While completing my student teaching application, the year before my student teaching experience, I requested that I be placed with a specific cooperating teacher because of his reputation in the community and the success of his program. I was excited when my request to learn from this very experienced educator was granted. It was a long-distance placement, an hour and a half from campus. The Center for Teacher Education and my cooperating school worked together to help me achieve this goal.
"The technology that allowed me to complete my distance student teaching was video collaboration. Instead of my professors driving to my school and physically sitting in the classroom with me, they observed me over the Internet. The University used a video collaboration system produced by Polycom™ and connected to the VTEL™ video collaboration system used by my cooperating school. The system at my cooperating school sat on a cart that could be wheeled into our classroom or into the lab and consisted of a computer connected to the internet, two joystick-controlled web cameras, a floor microphone, a wireless microphone (for myself in noisy lab settings), and a monitor. My students were immediately fascinated by the system that sat in the back of our classroom. I explained to my classes that it was a giant webcam or "Skype™ on steroids," which always got a good response. In addition to being able to use the system to video conference in real time, we installed software which allowed us to record my class sessions which could then be uploaded to Google Drive and shared with my professors for feedback and evaluation at a later time.
"ONU and the Center for Teacher Education's embrace of modern technology has helped make my student teaching experience a success and has allowed me to be placed in a learning environment which reflects my values and educational goals. This experience is the capstone to my college career and has been one of the many highlights of my education while at Northern."

First-time long-time, board -- I have been eagerly awaiting activation all weekend to put this post out there.
I have loved SK's writing since I was a kid and read pretty much all of the canon. While there have been a lot of moments where 'the room got dusty' and my eyes leaked a bit of fluid (despite not being much of a cryer, like Jake) from SK writing, I was DEVASTATED by this book, and most of all Sadie's 'end.' Crushed. Overwhelmingly sad. Am I the only person feeling this way? More emotionally bothered than anything else he's read, including childrenCrushing!
losing siblings to Pennywise, including the loss of Eddie Dean.
The only thing I can logically ascribe this to is that as the husband of a 5-10 clumsy english major, Sadie's heartbreaking background and violation resonated with me more powerfully than has almost any other SK character. I can't put my finger on it, and have been, literally, depressed since last Thursday to the point that folks in the office say 'What's wrong' and I say 'I am depressed from the unfairness of time travel and the pain of a Texas school librarian.'
I still love you Stephen King, but boy have you made me sad. I've done nothing but dream that there will be a Tower-related story someday soon where either Jake or Sadie or preferably both get back together and, in one of those universes, Sadie is not disfigured and she and Jake are truly happy. Christ I sound like Annie Wilkes! Somebody help me.
Anyway big fan and have enjoyed lurking on this board for a long time. Keep up the good posts.

"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"Card will touch your heart! Perfect Sentiment and the affirmations on the reverse side are reminders to make everyday count! I loved the card and most of the recipients either texted or e-mailed they loved it too! :)"
"Loved this card. Took a selfie with my reluctant family and managed to get New Year's Cards out by 12/31 - thanks to the speed and quality of Tiny Prints."
"I am a first time customer that decided to use Tinyprints for my 2015 New Year holiday card. The quaility of the paper, and design choices impressed me as an artist. I researched hours of competitive sites like Tinyprints but none had all the bells and whistles that I was looking for such as: good pricing, choices of designs and layouts, the ease of creating a card, and helpful design team to check your photocard before printing. The finish product was beautiful and professional quaility than any print shop in my town. My photo cards came out perfect and people adored my New Year card of my son! Awesome customer service and quick shipping in time to mail out to family and friends!!! I am planning on the next order...birthday invitations from Tinyprints!! Thank you Tinyprints!!"
"Too late for Christmas cards this, year, so we went with a "happy new year" theme and this was a great choice. Cheered it up a bit by changing the main greeting from blue to yellow. Photo reproduction on the printed version faithfully matched the online version. Nice work, Tiny Prints!"

Two Millionth Volume Celebration
Wednesday, May 4, 1994
Speaker: Mario Vargas Llosa, Distinguished Writer in Residence, School of Languages and Linguistics, on "The Paradise of Books"
From the Program:
The libraries of Georgetown University trace their foundation to 1796, when for the first time books were marked "for the use of the College." In the following century the stock of the College library was combed to provide nuclei of appropriate volumes for new and separate libraries when the medical and law faculties were established. Today the Joseph Mark Lauinger Memorial Library, the John Vinton Dahlgren Library, and the Edward Bennet Williams Law Library provide the intellectual resources and access to information demanded by a student population numbering nearly 12,000.
The libraries' two millionth printed item (reproduced above), a broadside printed in New York, appropriately dates from 1789, the year Georgetown University was founded. The broadside announces, with reverberations that linger to our day, the proclamation of the first Thanksgiving Day by a chief executive of the United States of America. Washington's choice of the fourth Thursday of November as a national day of thanksgiving, recognizing that it "is the Duty of all Nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty GOD, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his Protection and Favor," established not only the date we celebrate today, but the essential link between God's will and the fruits of man's rational government of his own affairs.
The George Washington Thanksgiving broadside is the gift of Mr. Marshall B. Coyne, LHD '90.

Shirred Eggs
Serves 1
This is a no-recipe recipe, needing only general guidelines, and perhaps an initial experimentation to know the dish and oven, as each changes the time needed for cooking. And everyone likes their eggs cooked differently, some oozy, some firm. Write down the dish, temperature and time that suits you, so next time you will have it as a firm guide.
Nathalie Dupree
Nathalie Dupree is the author of 13 cookbooks, most recently "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking." She lives in Charleston and may be reached through Nathalie dupree.com.
1/4 tablespoon butter
2 eggs per person
1/4 to 1/3 cup heavy cream
Other herbs or ingredients as desired such as tarragon, garlic, chopped tomato, cooked onion, etc.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of small ovenproof dish sufficient to hold two eggs side by side. Crack the eggs, one by one, and slide into the bowl. (All the better if you put in a bowl first then slide in, to make sure you are clear of egg shell.) Add pepper and any other seasonings or ingredients as desired, avoiding salt, which may toughen the eggs at this time. Pour heavy cream on top to cover, or as much as you like. Move to a small baking pan or put directly into the oven on a rack if living dangerously. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until at desired consistency. Remove dish to a plate. Season with salt if desired. Serve with toast sticks or quarters.

Romance Can Be Tricky For Fortune Cookie Messages
By editor
Originally published on Mon February 11, 2013 11:41 am
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne. Romance can be tricky, as the world's largest fortune cookie maker discovered. The New York Post reports that Brooklyn based Wonton Food is nixing its slightly suggestive fortune after parents complained about children reading them. So, the evening promises romantic interest may, instead, read: you make every day special. Experts say it's best to keep the tiny messages really bland, though you wouldn't want to say that about your date this Valentine's Day. It's MORNING EDITION.

When I first had the idea for Flashback Friday Features I wanted to focus on all the charitable work I knew past contestants were doing. I was aware that there were a wide array of charities and that many of them had started their own organizations, but some of them literally dedicate themselves completely. Today's guest exemplifies that level of commitment in a manner that is nothing short of amazing (drink). Whether you remember him as the lovable California surfer from Jillian Harris' season of The Bachelorette, or the fair-minded, loyal friend from Bachelor Pad, it's clear that Kiptyn Locke is one of the good guys.
1.What was your favorite experience while on the Bachelorette or Bachelor Pad?
I feel like one would expect something from Hawaii or Spain here. Honestly, though, one of my favorite memories was snow shoeing at Emerald Lake (Alberta, Canada). On the final group date of our season. The guys and Jillian were all having a blast. I grew up around the ocean with sun and surf, so running around in the snow was a fun new experience. Emerald Lake was stunning as well.
2.What was the most difficult aspect of being on the show?
Initially, getting used to cameras being around and adjusting to all the things that go into a TV show being made. Pretty foreign to my prior life experiences. Overall, not being able to communicate with my friends, family and the closest people in my life.
3.How did the experience of filming Bachelor Pad differ from your Bachelorette
experience? Was it easier/harder/more or less fun?
I'd have to say Bachelorette was more fun than Bachelor Pad. With Bachelor Pad you've got people who are already friends, put into a competitive situation where everyone is second-guessing everything each person is doing. I'm generally very trusting, and being in that situation was pretty uncomfortable. I'm hoping in future seasons of Bachelor Pad the Bachelor producers will have a better understanding of the show they're trying to make and put it together better.
4.What unexpected thing happened as a result of being on these shows?
Friends? A new way of looking at things?
This is one of those "all of the above" answers. So much has gone on since the show and I'm incredibly appreciative for and in love with the life I have. I've met some amazing people from all over the spectrum and each of these people in one way or another affect/shape the way you think and live. Of the greatest impact is definitely the increased support for my philanthropic ventures.
5.What are you working on now?
I'm working with the same three companies that I was involved with before the shows. I'm also working on creating a new online business that has a charitable focus. Recently a couple new show ideas have been presented to Tenley and me, but I'm not sure where any of these conversations are going. For me, I'm just keeping my focus on my business and upcoming projects in the charitable or health and fitness space.
6.What charities have you supported? Have you teamed up with any other
past contestants for charity projects?
Wow, in the last couple years I've supported a few dozen or more different causes. The charities I'm most regularly involved with include Cystic Fibrosis Foundation , and Cancer Angels of San Diego ,a non-profit my mother that I'm on the board of.
I've been working with the band Switchfoot for seven years now. The beneficiary for the Seventh Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am is Stand Up for Kids. We've worked with Stand Up for Kids for four years.
A number of different Bachelor contestants have joined in supporting events. It's pretty amazing because so many of them have their own causes they already support. I think we all try to help each other with our respective charitable ventures.
Also, the Bachelor Franchise started "Bachelor Gives Back" in late 2009 so at least a coupe times a year they pull past contestants together to support causes. I've done a few events with them as well.
Speed Round:
1. Take out or dine out? Dine out. (I love cooking too.)
2. Plain or peanut? Peanut.
3. Coke or Pepsi? Neither, generally. If either, Coke.
4. Beach or lake? Beach!
5. Breast or thigh? Breast.
6. Pajamas or nothing? Nothing. (Pending temperature or company.)
7. Out to the movies or home with the DVR? DVR lately.
8. Popcorn or Twizzlers? Popcorn.
9. Fancy restaurant or local diner? Favorite local diner.
10. Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate. (With the peanut from question 2. Mmmm.)
11. Power to fly or power to be invisible? Invisible.
12. Boxers or briefs? Boxer briefs.

GAME NOTES: A pair of undefeated squads go toe-to-toe in the semifinal round of the Old Spice Classic on Friday afternoon, as the fifth-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys take on the Butler Bulldogs at HP Field House.
Awaiting the winner in Sunday's championship game will be the survivor of the Memphis/LSU semifinal.
Oklahoma State's outstanding start to the campaign continued in the opening round of the tournament as it powered past Purdue, 97-87. The Cowboys, who have won each of their contests by double digits, are 6-0 on the season, which includes a signature victory over nationally-ranked Memphis on Nov. 19, 101-80.
Butler hasn't been quite as dominant this season, as four of its five wins have come by single digits (and two by one possession), but it has come up clutch in those matchups and has a 5-0 record to show for it. Facing a late deficit in the opening round against Washington State, the Bulldogs finished the game on an 11-2 run to capture the 76-69 win.
The Bulldogs are 4-0 all-time against Oklahoma State, although all four matchups came during the 1930s.
The Cowboys began their opening-round contest red-hot, as they took a commanding 52-29 lead into intermission, and while Purdue made it a game late by getting to within four points with under three minutes to play, it was too little, too late. Oklahoma State, which shot 52.7 percent from the field and took advantage of its ample free-throw opportunities (33-of-44), was led by 30 points from Marcus Smart, 24 of which came in the first half. Markel Brown was also outstanding with 25 points on 8-of-13 from the field. Le'Bryan Nash chipped in 16 points to the winning effort, while Brian Williams and Phil Forte netted 10 points apiece.
Oklahoma State ranks second in the nation in scoring, pouring in 99.7 points per game on nearly 52 percent from the field, and paired with a strong scoring defense (66.5 ppg) it's no surprise how dominant it has been. Smart stuffs the stat sheet with 22.5 points. 4.0 rebounds. 3.5 assists and 3.6 steals per game. Brown (19.3 ppg) is an outstanding scorer in his own right, and Forte (14.0 ppg) has been dangerous from 3-point range at 18-of-30. Nash (12.8 ppg, 6.7 rpg) and Williams (11.3 ppg) are also regular contributors for a team with no shortage of playmakers.
After WSU grabbed a two-point lead over Butler with 2:29 remaining, Kellen Dunham drilled a 3-pointer on the very next possession, which proved to be the game-winner for the Bulldogs. The squad was led by a pair of career-best performances. Dunham was deadly from beyond the arc (6-of-9) and finished with 32 points, a tournament record. Khyle Marshall was right on his heels with 30 points on 12-of-18 from the floor. Kameron Woods tallied seven points and 10 rebounds.
While the Bulldogs may not score as often at OSU (75.8 ppg), they actually play stingier defense in holding foes to just 65.8 points per game, and it boasts an outstanding +6.6 turnover margin. Dunham's strong performance in the opening round brought his season scoring average to 19.0 points per game, while Marshall (18.6 ppg, 7.2 rpg) is shooting a lofty 64.1 percent from the field. Woods (10.2 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 1.6 bpg) joins Marshall in the frontcourt as a viable playmaker at both ends of the court.
Butler has proven its worth in the early going this season and it will surely give Oklahoma State a run for its money. But while the Cowboys can't expect a blowout victory like they've come to expect this season, they still possess the most talent on the floor and will find a way to run past a pesky Bulldogs squad and into the championship game.
GAME NOTES: A pair of undefeated squads go toe-to-toe in the semifinal round
of the Old Spice Classic on Friday afternoon, as the fifth-ranked Oklahoma
State Cowboys take on the Butler Bulldogs at HP Field House.

Best Uses
- Moving Dirt In Tight Quar
- Quarters
the rubber coated handles i dont expect will last long. should be easily replaceable.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy assembly
- Easy to push or pull
- Metal Construction
- Multiple uses
Best Uses
- Hauling Bags Of Soil
- Hauling Garden Tools
- Picking Up Heavy Items
I really like the little mule. It's much more stable than a traditional wheelbarrow. I load a bag or two of compost and my tools and head out to the garden to work.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Multi-purpose
- very small
Best Uses
Ended up returning because it was much smaller than I thought. Even the pictuer with all of the bags of mulch was a little deceiving. Too small for my wife and me.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Rugged
- Versitile
- Bin Too Narrow
- Inconsistent construction
- Irritating Cheap Parts
Best Uses
- Moving Heavy Objects
This is very versatile for carrying heavy objects but as a substitute for a wheelbarrow it is too narrow and capacity too small. Also the cotterpins which hold the side sliders in place are too small and cheap. They broke the first week and resulted in time lost and a trip in to the hardware store to get good ones. This was a stupid way to save probably a penny at most. That said with another wheelbarrow available to transport leaves and clippings and with real cotterpins this is a usefull tool (but not a replacement for a cart etc for light bulky material.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Easy to assemble. Multi fcn very useful and easy to set up and use.
Small size good for manouvering yet carries a full bag of soil.
Easy to store as it collapses to use minimal space
Not just a wheelbarrow!

- No
- Many Uses
- Strong
- Sturdy Construction
Best Uses
- Dolly
- Moving Big Plants
- Moving Rocks
I've used the net attachment to move big rocks and it worked great. What a back saver! It will also be handy for moving concrete blocks. The bag holder is great too.
- Easy to use
- Ergonomic design
- Sturdy
Best Uses
- Multiple Garden
- Multiple Yard
The ergonomically well designed cart is a great multitask item. Solidly build and easy to use it should provide years of use. As a senior with some back issues this was such a treat to use to move things in the yard.
- Solid Construction
- Too Small To Be Efficient
Best Uses
Could be improved by making handles connect by solid bar across the front. Why so small?
- Perfect For A 71 Yrold
Best Uses
I love it because this 71 year old granny can transport big bags of soil from trunk of car. I use it up right so no lifting at garden area.
I use it as wheelbarrow to tote plant containers.
This is a new item to GS, no reviews. Sounded to good to be true but was exactly what I was looking for. It is a wheelbarrow and a moving truck all in one. Arrived at the end of the season so I have not fully tested it for durability but I did use it for moving some garden equipment and planters even moved my compost bin, worked great. Will follow up next spring but so far works great!

History states this high-quality tea got its name when the East India Trading Company presented it to the Dutch Royal Family, the House of Orange, and then promoted the tea as 'Orange Pekoe' to suggest a royal warrant. A Ceylon-style large leaf blend from the midland gardens of Sri Lanka, it is loved for its citrusy taste.

Ideally warm the pot first with a splash of hot water. Use one teabag per cup and always use freshly drawn and boiled water. Allow to brew for 3-5 minutes according to taste. Can be drunk with or without milk.
Just the nicest tea around - I even like it with a little milk
the perfect brew when making iced tea
taste great even when you've left it to stew
lovely lovely tea
I have tried so many different strong teas as I do like a strong tea but not 'too strong' and this tea is just perfect. It makes a lovely cup of tea which I enjoy with breakfast with my hubby through the day. Thanks Whittard for doing such a wonderful Tea!
A beautifully balanced tea, refreshing and full of flavour. It's just what I have been looking for, to enjoy when I get to the studio in the mornings!
Excellent service too and very easy to order.
Smiles all round really!
Orange Pekoe teabags are super! Have been out of stock for weeks in my local store though. They are the best ceylon tea bags anywhere

Surprisingly comfortable
These shoes are surprisingly comfortable. I have three pair now - one leather and two canvas. The canvas ones are easily washable, too, with little shrinking. I end up wearing these most of the time (except to work).
Buy at least one size larger
I liked these shoe and have a pair of leather ones which I wear all the time. I ignored the advice to buy a larger size for the canvas shoes and they are really too small. Otherwise they are just what I expected.
Washington State
Very casual looking shoe
If you want a ""laid back look"" then this is your shoe. A true canvas look and feel. The shoe runs on the ""true to size"" barometer slightly larger than than norm. Just looking at them makes one relax.

Loved Em'
I wear them on casual fridays to my law office. They're great casual dress shoes for the summer. Look great with jeans or khakis.
North Carolina
Brewshoes Rock!
I'm a true 11.5 and they where a perfect fit. I bought two pair in wheat and the mocha and love the colors, the fit and comfort. Since their a cotton canvas they quickly conform to anyone's foot print. Best purchase I've made in a while.
Verde Valley, Arizona
Absolute favorite shoe
These shoes are my absolute favorite shoes of all time. I own 4 pairs of them so I can rotate them out daily. Try them you will like them!

The days sure fly by don't they? I'm trying to soak up my little 13 month old…this is one of my favorite ages. We even match.
I gave up on my fabric diet last weekend. So this pretty stack came in the mail along with with a new book from a sweet friend.
I'm just finishing up a new table runner. I haven't made pinwheels in so long…I forgot how much I love them. It took all my willpower not to stay up all night making a quilt top.
I used this much loved method (see it in action here!). Basically you put 2 squares together, sew 1/4" around the edges and make 2 diagonal cuts to make the half square triangles.
The only thing I don't like about this method is your left with bias edges that stretch really easy and distort. To prevent that, I starched my starting squares a lot…and my half square triangles turned out perfect.
So perfect I didn't even have to square them up…just trim off the little seam ears with scissors.
And if I zoomed out on that picture you'd see…
…they are a permanent fixture on our floor. Random fact.
Here are the starting squares sizes and the finished pinwheel sizes I got from them. My pinwheels were squared up very slightly…the 7" pinwheel was probably closer to 7 1/4", but this is about the (un)finished size of pinwheels you can expect after squaring.
It's a great way to use up leftover charm and layer cake squares!
