Just wanted to touch base. I know there are some here that are also
in rctq, so feel free to ignore the rest of this post if you are :-)

I have been trying to reduce my sewing stash the past few weeks by
actually MAKING things! So far, I've made 3 camp shirts for each
child (total of 6 and I'm burnt out on the pattern, but have at least
4 more to make!), an summer outfit for my daughter that includes a
swingy top and capri pants, a pair of polka dot leggings for DD and a
"Tinkerbell goes punk mermaid" skirt strictly from my
imagination...lol.

I have more pictures to upload, but the shirts (some) and the summer
outfit are uploaded already.

I've also been working on getting the right combination of vitamins,
minerals and other supplements organized so that I can get my son off
the lab-created meds that he is currently on for his ADHD. I just
talked with his doctor and went over the list and got complete
approval, provided I stay near the low end of the suggested dosage
amounts. This is a very good thing for all of us as I can't stand the
stimulants (one has been linked to sudden heart attacks in children!)
and hubby doesn't want to do homeopathic remedies since there is no
regulatory agency that governs how they are processed. With any luck,
switching things up will not only continue the good focus and
decreased hyperactivity, but will help him gain weight (he's barely 48
pounds at 8 years!).

SO, that's my life in a nutshell...sorry I haven't been around lately,
but I've been reading what everyone else has been up to.

will post link to pics as soon as I get them all uploaded!

Last week, I remembered that I had not seen any posts from you, Larisa, in a
while and wondered what happened; glad to know you're still around.

Still here, things will be slowing down after tomorrow since Tom's
summer class will end. I'll have afternoons to get some work done and
hopefully will be able to get pictures up more quickly.

Saturday starts the new routine and we have high hopes for it.

Hm... Look, sister, USING the stash is cheating! ;) Mind you, I've
been doing that myself on a few items.

I know what you mean about pattern burn-out... Reached that with
James's trousers!

I' also load up some trouser pix when I get a moment.

Yikes! That's tiddly! James, at 13, is 5'10", has a 33 inch waist, and
takes men's medium in most clothes we buy! I'm sure your young man will
catch up, and the vitamines seem a lot better to me than nasty chemicals
for long term use. I know the chemicals have their place (and God knows
I've had enough of them in my time!), but avoiding if you can find a
decent alternative that is effective is a good idea. I'm always wary of
homeopathic 'medicines'... Seem like a lot of smkoke & mirrors and
snake oil, I'm afraid.

Ohh, yes! You know how greedy I am for pix! Me and the rest of us... ;)
