Mistakes that are very obvious really do irk me, but I’m not always sure how to fix them after I’ve bound off. I don’t know how to frog.
oh yeah I ROCK! I made a boo boo in my noro kureyon class sweater…and at first could NOT fix it…so I called LYS in a tizzy to see if I could run in and get help…no help until today…so I went under the light and analyzed it and fixed all by myselfses!!! I was so proud! My kids were like “you are so not right” LOL.
OH MY PunkHippieMom this is sooooo me… My 4yr old doesn’t like to paint or get his playdoh ?sp out around me cause I"m like nooo don’t mix your colors!!!
“It’s strange, usually I’m like that, too - if DH folds laundry, I refold it before I put it in the drawers, if he loads the dishwasher I have to do it over for him the right way (he does not use the space effectively!!!), I cringe watching the children color because it’s nowhere near in the lines”
Brendajosos Ya mean ya doubted my greatness for a bit??? :lol:
lol…my parents use to tell me to color inside the lines and i could NOT for the life of me figure out what they were talking about. i kept insisting that i WAS coloring inside the lines and they kept telling me to color inside the lines. Of course now i realize that they didn’t see the lines the same way i did…lol. I thought the lines were the page itself and that they were saying i was coloring on the table or floor where i was sitting…lol.
They must have really thought i was special :rollseyes:
:oops: Uh… I didn’t let them play with playdoh at all because we had beige wall2wall carpet… I already had grape and strawberry flavored stains, I didn’t want any day-glo orange and pink… :oops: but this is our carpet now, don’t mind if they get playdoh on it! (not like it would show up, right?)
I need to “mother” a little bit more like I knit… poor kids… :rollseyes:

Many moons ago when my son was little (he’s 29), I had a book called “Feed Me, I’m Yours.” It had a recipe for homemade playdoh (salt, oil, food coloring cooked together) which was great. It didn’t dry rock hard and cleaned up a lot easier that the “real thing” We always had fun making fresh playdoh and making it any color he wanted.
I think I’ve seen recipes for that before - that might be something to try… getting Playdoh out of the carpet is like getting gum out of hair - there’s only one way to do it!
Rebecca-
I think the recipe is 1c flour, 1c Salt, 1c Water, 2tbsp Oil, 1tsp Cream of tarter, food coloring.
Mix all in a pot on low, stirring with wooden spoon.
I LOVE This recipe as do my kids and its easy to get out of carpet with a little bit of water. (trust me I know)
