Yes, You Deserve Love — Here's How To Convince Yourself Of That

Photo: WeHeartIt
confidence love
Love, Sex

It's time to change your mind-set.

Are you stuck in pattern of feeling bad about yourself and your relationship? Do you feel needy, depressed and angry more than you feel loved by your man and happy with your life? To you want to be confident with men you date but can't step out of your nerves and self-doubts?

If you feel like you can’t shake those dark, bluesy feelings, I know exactly how you feel. My entire 20s was this constant inner struggle, where I worried all the time about not getting all the things I wanted like an amazing relationship.

I spent years feeling hopeless and defeated, thinking that no matter what I tried to do to be “amazing,” I was just never going to be amazing enough and I was never going to be loved enough because of it.

I beat myself up inside and the self-loathing was ridiculous!

I slowly, slowly started to realize that my self-beliefs were far from true and that I had to stop being so hard on myself if I wanted to be happier and feel good about a good relationship. But realizing these things was only the first step in shifting my perspective.

It was my relationships with men that allowed me to better see myself and make this shift happen. I realized that I could use my connection to my boyfriend to heal those dark feelings.

Do You Keep Yourself Down?

Most of us want to be something other than what we are. We lie and say that we wouldn’t swap lives with anyone and really do love ourselves, yet we believe that we don’t have the things we want because we aren’t amazing enough in this or that way to have those things.

How often do you think:
“I’m not pretty enough for the guy I want.”
“I’m not smart enough for the job I want.”
“I’m not ambitious enough to make lots of money.”

And the list goes on, am I right?

We even settle for things we don’t want (friends with benefits, Mr. Unavailable) thinking that we aren’t amazing enough to fight for what we do want (a real, happy relationship.)

Not to mention, some of us feel really guilty about feeling good!  We met a great guy or smooth out the wrinkles in our relationships and suddenly, Bam, we are feeling strange inside — anxious and wondering whether it's even okay that we feel good.

What If You Could Be Amazing?

The biggest part of the problem is that we look outside of ourselves to feel amazing. We think that having a certain guy will make us feel amazing, or a certain body. And for the most part, we can't be blamed.

New love and weight loss do feel amazing, along with a whole bunch of other things. However, the problem is that we let ourselves feel not amazing—I’m talking horrible, awful, worthless — when we don’t get these things.

We beat ourselves up. We get angry for not having enough self-discipline to diet or a personality that's sexy and confident enough to get that guy.

So there we are, wanting these great these so badly because we think we need them to feel amazing, and then when we aren't able to get them or keep them, we feel even worse!

But what if you could “live amazing,” and not have to seek out happiness as much as just “be happiness”?  What if you could "be love" with men instead of just wanting their love?

Be Confident With Men By Honoring Your Aliveness In Their Presence

What if you could look at a guy and feel like he’d be a fool not to want you? What if you could look at a fashion magazine, admire the skinny bodies and then close it and still be in love with your body, feeling that warm, yummy love surging through you?

Try this right now — say, aloud, “I’m a warm, glowing, twinkly ball of light and everything I touch, is positively impacted by my glorious aliveness!” Or...

What happened when you said that?  Did you feel better for a moment — lighter, calmer and freer?  Did you immediately go back to feeling dark and heavy and judging the statement and doubting that you could ever feel warm and twinkly and glorious on your own, without a man "making" you feel that way?

Are You In A Prison?

We imprison ourselves everyday, every second, every time we have a judging thought.  Most of us live forever in this prison, unable to be free to feel light, joyous, confident and radiant in our uniqueness!

If you live in this prison, you are allowing it to ruin your relationships with men. You are allowing it to keep you seeking out men who let you live in this prison (controlling, belittling or emotionally uncaring and devoted men) and you’re allowing it to ruin your chances at sustaining a good relationship.

When you live in a prison of your own making, you emotionally wall yourself off to a man and you push him away with your insecurities.  You get hard and brittle when trying to communicate and be intimate.  You only hear and believe the bad about what he’s telling you and sending you through his behavior.  You put yourself in situations over and over again where you become needy and can't be confident with men.

You Already Have What You Want!

I want you to stop letting the prison ruin your life and I want you to start thinking of yourself as the glorious, twinkly, effervescent, glowing, warm and powerful ball of energy that you actually are.

By telling yourself this, you aren’t lying! You really are a ball of energy. We all are composed of energy.

I want you to tell yourself that your energy has the power to change men, to literally change the energy of a man and make him attracted to you, happier because of you, experiencing emotions he hasn’t in years just by knowing you. I want you to tell yourself this because it’s all true. This is the way energy works, this is the way humans affect one another — everything has an molecular effect on everything else.

You Have The Right To Shine Without & With A Man’s Love

As soon as you start looking outside of your own energy source for power, for that “amazingness,” the harder it becomes to get that thing you want, that thing you think will fuel you. To be confident with men, you have to know that the love you want — your guy’s love and attention — is already inside you!

The love you desire is the same love you already have in that energy ball!  It just feels like you don’t have it, so you want it.   However, what you really want is a chance to let your own energy shine, be seen, felt, experienced, loved and admired!  You want a man to let you out of the prison... but YOU can let yourself out of the prison right now!

Allow your energy to shine!  Repeat over and over that you are a glorious ball of fizzy, bubbly energy. When you allow your light to shine, a man will see it, feel it, love it and will then love you!

"Fed’s Dudley Says Easing Vital to Spur Too-Slow Growth"

What a moron, you create inflation in things people need to exist like food and energy and keep their wages low (that is they are lucky enough to have a job) or not keeping up with real inflation that you created and then want people to get into even more debt when they can't afford the debt they already have thanks to you?

Why does the mainstream financial media use the verb "spur"? If they mean to imply "beat a dead horse" then why not just say it?

Case history

HR Zucchetti: a jewel in the personnel management field

Client: Morellato SpA
Field: jewelry manufacturing
No. of employees: 1.000
Turnover: 128 millions €
Web site:

Client Profile

Morellato is an Italian group that operates in the field of jewelry and watches creation and manufacturing.

The Group is present on the Italian and international market both with owned brands such as Morellato, Sector, Philip Watch, Chronostar and with licensed brands such as John Galliano, Roberto Cavalli, Just Cavalli, Pirelli Pzero and Miss Sixty. It is also world leader in the production of straps and cases for jewellery that has been the original activity of Morellato since 1930.

The rapid growth of the group and its retail structure on the market resulted in the need of optimizing some processes in the HR management, both at administrative level as well as for the organization.

At administrative level the priority was to replace Morellato’s applications with solutions to streamline operations and as much as possible in order to support the activities of the HR Department, providing complex reports, making dynamic and multidimensional data analysis with graphical and tabular representations of the results.

The first part of the project refers to the start-up of the system for the administrative management of employees. Secondly, the following applications have been installed: Time & Attendance, Payroll and Employee cost budget from Zucchetti HR suite which are entirely web-based and a single database for all applications, this integrated feature allowed us to meet the special requirements of Morellato to delegate some HR management tasks to the points of sale, while maintaining control at a central level within the HR Department.

Time & Attendance Management Web allows to centralize and optimize the entire process of data collection for time & attendance at the points of sale, and immediately gain access to all the relevant data for payroll processing, management of contractual aspects, taxes and contributions management that regulate the employment record.

Martina Busnardo – HR Department Director:

The right balance between functional content and applicative consultancy has enabled us to grow day by day, slowly expanding our focus from the administrative to the management part. The single database, the innovative content of Zucchetti HR Suite together with the professionalism of the Group’s employees are helping us to optimize the processes of HR management which is one of our company’s strategic goals and an important asset for our company.

University of Delaware

Institute for Global Studies

ALUMNI Make a Gift

What to Bring

Check List

  • Dictionary:

    You will be provided with all required books and materials needed during the Institute. However, you might want to bring a translation dictionary to assist you with your use of English.

  • Electrical Appliances:

    The standard electrical system in the United States is alternating current, 60 cycles, 120 volts. If you bring electrical equipment (such as hair dryer, shaver, computer), be sure it is compatible or bring an adapter.

  • Dress:

    Summer weather in Delaware is often hot and quite humid, (but there can be periods of rain as well). Generally, it is best to wear clothing made of cotton rather than clothing made of wool or synthetic fiber. It is also best to wear loose fitting clothing which can "breath" rather than tight clothing.

    Dress at universities is typically informal, particularly during the summer. Professors, for example, seldom wear jackets or neck-ties. Students are frequently seen wearing shorts, pants and T-shirts. Although jeans are socially appropriate both in and out of the classroom,it is not recommended that you wear jeans to formal events. You will want to bring at least one outfit to wear at more formal social events. It is very important that you bring with you at least one pair of comfortable walking shoes.

    Of course, appropriate non-western wear is always acceptable.

  • Luggage:

    Please pack lightly. Generally, airlines permit travelers to/from North America to check one suitcase for no charge weighing no more than 23kg (50 lbs.). However, we suggest that you check with your airline in advance for precise luggage policies. Inside your larger suitcase, it would be advisable to bring a small collapsible travel bag to use during our study trips.

    In addition to your checked baggage, airlines generally permit passengers to carry a small bag and one personal item (e.g. a purse or small backpack) aboard the plane. We strongly encourage you to carry a few days clothing and other essentials in your carryon bag in case your checked baggage is delayed in transit.

  • Medicine:

    If you require any prescription medications, please bring these with you on the aircraft. If you are under doctor's care for any condition, you might want to bring a letter from your physician describing your condition and treatment regime in case you need to see a doctor while you are in the United States.

  • Money:

    You will receive an ample cash allowance which will cover your meals and incidental expenses. In the past, however, some visitors have wanted to make more frequent shopping trips than what we have scheduled in the program. If you wish to shop more frequently during free time activities, you might want to bring additional money or an ATM, credit, or debit card-- but this is totally up to you. If you do bring extra money, do not bring a great deal of cash. Rather, It is safer to bring traveler's checks or use an ATM card. If you do bring money, please note that foreign currency cannot be converted in Newark; you have to travel to Wilmington (about a 20 minute drive) to convert money.

  • Toiletries:

    Although you will be able to purchase toiletries locally, you might not be able to find the brand you enjoy using. Therefore, you should bring an ample supply of toiletries such as:

    • Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and other dental hygiene items
    • Soap
    • Shampoo, conditioner, and other hair care items
    • Antiperspirant/deodorant
    • Razor and shaving cream (if appropriate)
    • Sun screen lotion

    Because of the humidity, there may be some days when you will want to bathe twice. Please plan accordingly.

  • Valuables:

    Although the UD campus and Newark are generally safe, neither the US government nor the University of Delaware can guarantee the safety of any valuables you might bring. Therefore, you should leave expensive and extravagant things at home and remember to always secure your unattended personal belongings while in the US.

Funding for the Student Leaders Program is provided by the U.S. Department of State.

Footbridge Over the River Marne in Meaux by DVVD

Saturday, September 8th, 2012

Article source: DVVD

The footbridge links the centre of Meaux, more particularly the station, to Grand Ile, a medieval district located within a bend of the Marne. The decision to locate the bridge on the bend of the river allows it to provide a greater number of views, and increases the ways in which the structure can interact with its environment.

Wendy by HWKN

Wendy does not play the typical architecture game of ecological apology – instead she is pro-active. That is why Wendy is composed of PVC mesh treated with a ground breaking titania nanoparticle spray to neutralize airborne pollutants. During the summer of 2012 Wendy will clean the air to an equivalent of taking 260 cars off the road.

Sint-Martinus in Sint-Truiden, Belgium by Lensass Architects

Article source: Lensass Architects

The medieval character of the former inn from 1650 – presently a store –, as well as its original timber framing on the back side, has been fully restored. This very particular building technique, which continued to be used in Limburg for a long time, uses the recycled wood of torn-down buildings. Inscriptions, as well as old mortise and tenon connections testify of the re-use.

Mini Rooftop in New York by HWKN

A space for urban tastemakers without logos or branding. HWKN scouted the location, created the design and oversaw construction of the temporary event location for MINI’s ”Creative Use Of Space” campaign. The sheer surprise of encountering a hill on a roof in NYC is heightened by design elements derived from MINI cars that utilize object-in-field design, like deploying brake lights into a field of sheet metal instead of at a seam.

Avnet Releases ONIX-VU440 Kit Based on Largest Xilinx Virtex UltraScale FPGA

Board facilitates rapid prototyping and ASIC emulation

PHOENIX — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 9, 2015Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), a leading global technology distributor, today released the ONIX-VU440, a flexible platform based on the Xilinx Virtex® UltraScaleTM XCVU440 FPGA – the largest FPGA currently available on the market. The board is designed for rapid prototyping and ASIC emulation of high-performance, high-complexity systems.

The ONIX ASIC prototyping platform is a collaborative effort between Dgtronix Ltd., Xilinx, Inc. and Avnet. The scalable design of the ONIX–VU440 supports three modes of operation, including: “desktop” standalone mode, PCIe plug-in card mode and mezzanine module mode, where the ONIX-VU440 is plugged onto a host board, interconnecting two ONIX boards in a standard 3U rack form-factor. The 3U racks are designed to be cascaded in order to increase the logic capacity for emulation. In addition, the ONIX package includes management software that enables easy access to board features like programmable PLLs/oscillators, flash programming, low-level SoC debugging, and memory dumps and uploads.

“The capabilities of the ONIX-VU440 platform are exceptional,” said Jim Beneke, vice president of global technical marketing at Avnet Electronics Marketing. “The flexibility offered by the four FMC expansion slots, 26 GTH serial transceivers running at 16Gbps, x8 PCIe Gen3 interface and 72-bit DDR4 SODIMM socket, make this platform ideal for designers needing a high-performance, scalable prototyping solution. Dgtronix has architected this system for maximum flexibility, which is critical for today’s ASIC emulation community.”

“The ONIX platform design is based on years of extensive experience as both a board manufacturer and engineering design services provider. We created this platform with our customers’ emulation platform requirements in mind, as well as the need for low-cost and ‘off-the-shelf’ FMC and PMOD extension products,” said David Tash, CEO of Dgtronix and ONIX. “In addition, the ONIX platform is open to employ Avnet’s Mini-ITX – ARM based Xilinx Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC board. Dgtronix holds unique signal and power integrity expertise, which is implemented on the ONIX platform to support very high speed interfaces up to 33Gbps.”

The ONIX–VU440 Kit Includes:

The ONIX–VU440 is available for order today from Avnet Electronics Marketing. Further information on the ONIX–VU440 can be found at http://bit.ly/1OaR9VL.

Duval falls in Buick playoff

Par on first extra hole propels late-charging DiMarco

October 29, 2001

— Chris DiMarco made a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole Sunday to tie David Duval, then won the Buick Challenge on the first playoff hole when Duval missed an 8-footer for par.

Duval, the defending tournament champion, closed with a brilliant 9-under-par 63 on the Mountain View course at Callaway Gardens, walking off with a one-stroke lead.

He then went to a television booth overlooking 18, where he watched DiMarco make the clutch putt with his unique claw grip to give both players a 21-under 267.

"I was expecting to be in a playoff," Duval said. "I didn't want to be in a playoff, but I was expecting it."

He had to work hard just to get that far, beginning the day six strokes behind third-round leader Joel Edwards.

DiMarco won the SEI Pennsylvania Classic last year against a much weaker field.

"Look at the field," DiMarco said, mentioning Duval, Vijay Singh and Davis Love III. "When I won last year, I beat some good players but not the big names. To do it against the big names is very special."

Bob Estes tied for third with Neal Lancaster at 269. Love struggled to a 71 and finished at 270.

Edwards struggled to a 74 and wound up five strokes back at 272 strokes.

Hematopathology — Image #25 — Auer Rods

Auer Rods

Atypical linear condensations of cytoplasmic granules, Auer rods are seen in myeloid blasts and indicate a modicum of differentiation. Never seen in normal myeloid precursors, or in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Auer rods are virtually diagnostic of AML. A myeloperoxidase stain can highlight Auer rods, as seen here.

How To Use This Site

This blog was updated on a daily basis for about two years, with those daily entries ceasing on December 31, 2013. The blog is still active, however, and we hope that people stopping in, who find something lacking, will add to the daily entries.

The blog still receives new posts as well, but now it receives them on items of Wyoming history. That has always been a feature of the blog, but Wyoming's history is rich and there are many items that are not fully covered here, if covered at all. Over time, we hope to remedy that.

You can obtain an entire month's listings by hitting on the appropriate month below, or an individual day by hitting on that calendar date.

We hope you enjoy this site.

November 12

1867  Peace conference commences at Ft. Laramie, Wyoming.  The goal was to arrive at a peaceful solution to strife between Americans and the northern Plains Indians.

1889  First municipal election in Newcastle. Attribution:  Wyoming State Historical Society.

1890  First Wyoming State Legislature convened.

1890  The United States government funded a land grant college for Wyoming, which would become the University of Wyoming.  Attribution:  Wyoming State Historical Society.

1897  Milward Lee Simpson was born in Jackson.  He grew up in Meeteetse and Cody, served as an infantry lieutenant in World War One, and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1925.   He served as the 23rd Governor of Wyoming from 1955 to 1959, having been narrowly elected in 1954 and having been defeated for reelection in 1958.  He served as U.S. Senator from Wyoming from 1964 to 1967, filling the term of the late Edwin Keith Thomson who died in office.  Simpson was one of only six Republican U.S. Senators to vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  One of his sons is long serving U.S. Senator Alan Simpson.

1916:   Sunday State Leader for November 12, 1916: Guard to remain Federalized, Villa avoids encounter with Carranza's troops.

The Laramie Republican for November 12, 1916: Villista outrages at Parral

1981  The Wyoming (Ohio) Historical Society founded.

2012  For this year, Veteran's Day observed in the United States so as to make the day a three day holiday.

In spite of having fought wars in recent years, and in spite of there being an ongoing one currently, this day seems to have reduced in significance in recent years.  It is a Federal Holiday, but not a day that most people have off.  Schools are in session locally.  There are (as is the norm here) no parades.  Even the Star Tribune, which used to feature Veterans and their stories on this day, has only seen fit to run a single photo page commemorating the day.

2015:  Wyoming Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis, in office since January 2009, announced her intent to abstain running for office at the completion of this term.  Two Republicans announced they were interested in running, with one expressing a definite intent to do so, by the end of the day.

George and the Wolf

            One day, George was on an airplane that was headed for California. In this plane, there were very few people. After getting settled in, the airplane prepared to leave Texas. The airplane took with no problems and the pilot set to cruse. After a couple hours of flying, the pilot announced that they were over one of California’s large forests. Then, all of the sudden, one of the engines began to have a malfunction. George noticing the turbulence looked out of the window. When he looked, he saw that the engine was being jammed by something small because George was unable to see what it was. Before George could think about it, the airplane was going down. The oxygen masks fell right afterword, hitting George in the face. For some reason, George was still looking out the window to see what was jamming the engine. While looking out the window, he noticed the ground was coming closer to him at a fast rate. Knowing what was soon about to occur, George braced for impact. The next time George was awake, half the plane was gone.
            Waking up after the crash was hard for George. At first, George thought he was dreaming when he saw half of the plane gone. But after taking a good hard look at the scene, he realized part of the plane really was gone. Immediately, George got up and began looking for survivors. After searching the few parts left from the plane, George found out he was the only one left. Luck for George, surviving in the wilderness seemed easy because George back home loved to watch the Nature Channel as well as Survivor Man. Though injured in the arm from the impact, George began to scavenge for anything that could be useful to his survival. In the mists of his search, George heard nearby howls. From listening, it seemed like there were five or six. George took what he could grab and began to run knowing the wolves would be following him soon. After running for an hour, night fell upon him. Somehow surviving the night, George packed his few things and walked east, or at least the way he thought was east. After a couple days of walking, it seemed like George was going in circles, so he decided to stay where he was and set up camp. While out near a lake trying to find food, George spotted a wolf, maybe one of the ones he heard the day he crashed. This wolf, however, was very sneaky and tricky. Every time George caught a fish, the wolf managed to scare him, making him throw the fish, and thus letting the wolf eat it. Eventually, the wolf and George were able to get along and survive in the wilderness together. Then, about a month after the crash landing, George was able to use fire to signal a plane.
            Without George’s knowledge on living on nature and living with the wolf, George would not have been able to survive. After being rescued, George said good bye to the wolf, the wilderness, and most importantly, to California. George was able to get back home safe and sound. From that day forward, George has told his family and friends about his adventures with the wolf and how he survived. Though it was scary, George still sometimes goes to California and goes camping with friends, hoping he will be able to see his old, but good friend and companion, the wolf.

a sign of life

Back in the land of the living... I barely survived the past month.

On May 8th I had to be re-examined for my disabillity, it was terrible, no humanity, no compassion, just the law requires this examination, no matter in what state you are.
Gladdich did his job, tried to make me focus on him, but in no time I scratched my arm until it was bleeding and I dissociated too.

I did not want Frank to come with me, it is so hard to see your partner going through something like this, but I fainted right away, so they went to get him (he was waiting in the car, together with Chimay).

I survived the weeks after by working in the garden, pulling out weed, trimming the shrubs and trees, that is better as self-mutulation :-(
Luckely there is a lot to do in the garden, I filled 4 big containers the last two weeks.

Last week I got a letter from the examination, only stating all limitations in work, now it is waiting on the work-expert, who will make the final descision.

Copper Tub Lining Tutorial

I had made this Copper Tub Lining back in January. I had intended to make a tutorial, but didn't have my camera with me when I made it.

After several requests for a tutorial, someone hired me to make one so here is the tutorial- with pictures!!

This tutorial will use measurements from the tub that I have but it could be adjusted to fit any other oval container.
The measurements for my tub are:
Width: 13.5"
Length: 24.25"
Depth: 13"

Pattern Pieces
Bottom of liner: Trace around bottom of tub with 1/2" seam allowance and cut out
Measure the circumference- mine was about 64"

Sides of Liner: 2 pieces- 16" X 32.5"
To get this measurement I took the circumference divided in half plus 1/2" for seam allowances.
The height is just the depth measurement plus ~3" for seam allowances and hemming.

Longer Tabs (sides): 2 pieces- 25.5" X 6.5"

Shorter Tabs (ends): 2 pieces- 3.75" X 6.5"

Both of these are adjustable- if you want them to be a little shorter you can do less than the 6.5".
Both pieces will be folded in half after they are embroidered.

Ties: 8 pieces- 1.5" X 10"

EmbroideryThis part is optional- I just wanted a small amount of detail on my liner.
The first one I made I did a straight line with 1/2" stitch, 1/2" white.
The second one I did a pattern of 1/4" stitch, 1/4" stitch, 1/4" stitch, then 1/2" stitch with 1/4" gap between each stitch. (Does that make sense?)

Place the ruler on the edge of the tab and measure 4 inches up- make the pattern you want along the whole length of all 4 tabs.

Chose embroidery thread and do a simple backstitch along the pattern you marked out. I put mine in a hoop to make it easier. If you have questions on making a backstitch this blog has a lot of info about embroidery stitches. But basically it is just following the lines.

Once the tabs are embroidered fold them in half lengthwise and press.

To Make the Ties-

Fold end over 1/4" and press.

Fold both edges to meet in the middle and press.

Fold in half and press. Sew lengthwise down the tie.
Complete this process with all 8 ties.

Now we attach the ties to the tabs-
Turn the tabs right side in and pin tabs- unfinished end sticking out so you can see it. You want the tab to be right in the middle up and down.
See the little tab sticking out.
Sew seams together with tie in it. Do this for both edges on all tabs.

Turn Right side out and press.

Once you are done with your tabs now it is time to work on the liner body- sew both rectangle pieces together with 1/4" seam allowance. Press seams to the side.

I forgot to take a picture of this, but pin this giant circle of fabric (right sides together) to the liner bottom- placing two seams at very ends of oval. Sew in place with 1/2 " seam allowance
At this point I like to check and make sure it fits the tub. Yep- it fits!

Turn top edge of liner over twice towards wrong side so there is no raw edge showing. Press into place.

Pin tabs into place- right side of tab facing right side of liner. Center small tabs on liner's seams. Once small tabs are pinned in place center longer tabs on long side of liner- with even spaces between each tab.

 Once all tabs are pinned in place, sew around entire top edge, securing the tabs and the hems.
Place in tub and tie the ties in bows.

If any of this seems unclear or you have any further questions don't hesitate to contact me and I will try my best to help answer your questions- zoer110@gmail.com.

If you don't want to make your own and would like me to make one for you just contact me- zoer110@gmail.com.

I will be linking up with some of these parties!

 Have a great day!!

Kimberly @ The Brown Eyes Have It said...

I have a tub just like that. I'd never thought of putting a liner in it before. I'll keep this in mind because mine does have some holes in the bottom of it and I'd hate for my blankets to snag on it. Thanks!

Hopeful1 said...

How charming! I love the finished product. Great job!

Tammy said...

This is great! Thank you for sharing. I pinned it. I am your newest follower. Hope you can visit me sometime :)

Birgit Kerr said...

Jen @ Creating with the J's said...

I LOVE IT! I love the change it makes. Might have to share your tutorial with my friend that sews and see if she can make one for mine! Thanks for sharing!

Claiming Our Space said...

Love this. My mum just gave me a big wicker basket that I want to use for something but it needs a liner. Now I can make one of my own that will fit perfectly. Visiting from The Girl Creative.

Jenny Melrose said...

Now I just need to learn to sew! I have so many things I would do this with. Thanks for sharing at Whimsy Wednesdays at The NY Melrose Family.

Jessie said...

Wow that's incredibly cute. Good job. I'm not that savvy of a seamstress but I bet I could figure this out. Now to get my mom to give me her old copper tub! :0

It's not Hep A!

Yesterday evening the doctor told me that it's not hepatitis A afterall. From the blood test results, it's not A, not B, not C, not malaria, not denggi, not the kissing disease either... so what could it be? Doctor said, still, viral hepatitis - basically meaning, inflamation of the liver due to a viral infection, maybe CMV. Still, the rootcause of all of this still remains elusive, but the doctor and the hospital won't be checking for it since the other strains of hepatitis are generally non-chronic.

Like I told Bin, no, the doctors here aren't like House M.D., however intriguing the cause might be.

I've finally strengthened my heart to finish up the last few episodes of Sex and The City. The outcome was that I was not as moved to tears as I'd thought I'd be, perhaps because it's my second time watching it. After that I read a bit more of Empress Orchid and slept a while, then a phone-call from Khoon Hau woke me up and I spent my time walking around my still, big-as-day isolation ward, arranging flowers and stuff and taking pictures.

I just wanna say, I feel so blessed and thankful to have my friends around me to care about me. Thanks for the cute bear & rose (you beat Leonard to it! ;-)) and the grapes on the first day from Chuan Ning, Soek Junn and Jin Wen; thanks to Kah Khee, Si Min, Berry, TVC, Khoon Hau and Kok Shin for calling everyday to chat and cheer me up; thanks to Wee Meng, Wee Cheng, Suet Sun, Giap Seng, Avinash, Yong Ming, Choon Peng, Han Beng, Chun Wai, Ker Li, Sujea and Kelly for visiting me; thanks to Wan Chong, Wei Shiong and their PG5.2 colleague for the apples; thanks to Sheau Yiing and my buddy Pik Lay who visited me although she still has chicken pox; thanks to James and Adelene for the grapefruit; thanks to Adrian for the soup; thanks to Jules for bringing me many silly DVDs and magazines; thanks to Lan Sin for bringing me Yakult and yoghurt; thanks to Chin Leong for popping by a lot from upstairs to check on me even though he's swollen and in pain; thanks to Siang Leng and Voon Keong for volunteering to bring me Desperate Housewives; and thanks to the many many other friends whom I didn't mention, but are supporting me all this while :)

And thanks to the cleaners and nurses and maids who bring me food with a smiley "Hi! Jie Jie sila makan" each day... they're the ones who cheer me up when all my friends are not around :)

pik lay said...

Why never mentioned about my grapes? Hahahahahhahaha.. Good la .. not hepatitis A.. scare ppl only la u

Hey why the nurses call you "jie jie" You older than them meh?

Review: The Life of Glass

Title:  The Life of Glass
Author:  Jillian Cantor

       From GoodReads, "Before he died, Melissa’s father told her about stars. He told her that the brightest stars weren’t always the most beautiful—that if people took the time to look at the smaller stars, if they looked with a telescope at the true essence of the star, they would find real beauty. But even though Melissa knows that beauty isn’t only skin deep, the people around her don’t seem to feel that way. There’s her gorgeous sister Ashley who will barely acknowledge Melissa at school, there's her best friend Ryan, who may be falling in love with the sophisticated Courtney, and there’s Melissa’s mother who’s dating someone new, someone who Melissa knows will never be able to replace her father.

To make sure she doesn’t lose her father completely, Melissa spends her time trying to piece together the last of his secrets and completing a journal her father began—one about love and relationships and the remarkable ways people find one another. But when tragedy strikes, Melissa has to start living and loving in the present, as she realizes that being beautiful on the outside doesn't mean you can't be beautiful on the inside."

     I have to admit that this book reminded me a little bit too much of my own life to a certain degree.  As I began reading, it was eerily familiar and I felt a certain deja vu until I got past the first several chapters.  Let me explain... in high school, my father was diagnosed with a brain tumor that eventually led to his death after hospice in his early forties (which is similar to the main character's issues).   Another similarity that the main character and I share is our first name, Melissa.  As I started reading, the book transported me back to my earlier experiences.  Thankfully, those two similarities are the only ones we shared.  If the book had had anything else in common with me, I might have written the author and asked her where she got her inspiration.
     To say that I liked this book would be an understatement.  I thought the book was amazing.  I loved how the author, Jillian Cantor,  voiced the main character, Melissa, and found her to be a honestly, refreshing high-school female character.  It was easy to feel what she was feeling.  I found Cantor's writing to be impeccable and reminiscent of why I fell in love with Sarah Dessen's writing in the beginning.  The way Cantor describes Melissa's emotions make it easy to identify with her problems and dilemmas.  It is unbelievable to think that this is only her second book.  From the first written words on the page to the very last period, she made me a part of her story and it reminded me of why I love reading in the first place... that you get a chance to live somebody else's life for a while.

Review: She's So Dead to Us

Title: She's So Dead to Us
Author:  Kieran Scott

     From GoodReads, "Perfect, picturesque Orchard Hill. It was the last thing Ally Ryan saw in the rear-view mirror as her mother drove them out of town and away from the shame of the scandal her father caused when his hedge fund went south and practically bankrupted all their friends -- friends that liked having trust funds and new cars, and that didn't like constant reminders that they had been swindled. So it was adios,Orchard Hill. Thanks for nothing.

Now, two years later, Ally's mother has landed a job back at the site of their downfall. So instead of Ally's new low-key, happy life, it'll be back into the snake pit with the likes of Shannen Moore and Hammond Ross.
But then there's Jake Graydon. Handsome, wealthy, bored Jake Graydon. He moved to town after Ally left and knows nothing of her scandal, but does know that he likes her. And she likes him. So off into the sunset they can go, right? Too bad Jake's friends have a problem with his new crush since it would make Ally happy. And if anyone deserves to be unhappy, it's Ally Ryan.
Ally was hoping to have left all the drama in the past, but some things just can't be forgotten. Isn't there more to life than money?"

     As a huge fan of Kieran Scott, I had been anxiously awaiting this book.  Unfortunately the book didn't live up to my expectations.  Don't get me wrong, there were lots of things about this book that I liked.  For example, I liked how the author used the school calendar to present what was going on in the story.  I thought that this was a clever way to progress through the book.  I also liked the premise of the book, especially because of all the things we hear on the news about the recession and ponzi schemes.  I also liked how the book alternated between two perspectives, Ally and Jake.  I liked the character of Ally for the most part.  Her fall from grace was believable and I could totally buy why it would have been difficult to return to the scene of the crime.  The hardest things to read were the parts of the story where her former friends were so incredibly mean to her.  I really liked the character of Jake.  Even though he was probably one of the most popular guys in school (and one of the best looking), Kieran Scott managed to give him soul and depth.  His inner struggle with fitting in with the crowd and doing the right thing was my favorite thing about the book.
     Now for the things I didn't exactly like.  Maybe I am just used to the way Kieran Scott usually writes, but this book was a lot different from earlier books that I have read.  I thought that in many ways the book was very predictable.  Once I realized that Ally's friends were mostly mean girls (especially Shannon), I pretty much could guess what their next terrible plan was for Ally.  I almost put the book down a couple of times, but the one thing I really wanted to know about (Ally's father) kept me reading.  Without giving away anything, I was very disappointed in how the book ended.  I now know that this book will probably be a sequel and it really isn't one that I can't wait to get my hands on... in fact, I'm not really that invested now with how Ally's life will turn out.  Having read (and loved) all of Kieran's Scott's book, I will definitely return to this author, but I probably won't return to this series.

Review: Into the Wild Nerd Yonder

Title: Into the Wild Nerd Yonder
Author: Julie Halpern

     From GoodReads, "It’s Jessie’s sophomore year of high school. A self-professed “mathelete,” she isn’t sure where she belongs. Her two best friends have transformed themselves into punks and one of them is going after her longtime crush. Her beloved older brother will soon leave for college (and in the meantime has shaved his mohawk and started dating . . . the prom princess!) . . .

Things are changing fast. Jessie needs new friends. And her quest is a hilarious tour through high-school clique-dom, with a surprising stop along the way—the Dungeons and Dragons crowd, who out-nerd everyone. Will hanging out with them make her a nerd, too? And could she really be crushing on a guy with too-short pants and too-white gym shoes? If you go into the wild nerd yonder, can you ever come back?"

     I'm feeling a little conflicted about this book because I love the main character in the story's quirkiness (she sews her own patterned skirts and plays the drums and Dungeons and Dragons), her ability to get rid of poseur-friends, and her smarts.  There is one aspect of the main character that bothers me though and that is her relationship with her brother, Barrett.  I am fine with the fact that they look up to each other and have a close relationship, but there were times where I felt that they were too close.  I felt like Jessie had a certain innocence on one hand, but the next minute she was discussing her friend Bizza's sexual exploits with her brother. I think that the author meant this to demonstrate a certain coming-of-age quality to the book.
      Overall, I liked the book and think that it would appeal to middle school and high school girls particularly.  There were parts of the book that I think upper elementary girls would like, but I worried about some of the sexual aspects of the book for this age group.  One huge compliment that I have for the author is her highlighting other terrific books.  I loved how she described the audiobooks that Jessie was listening to and a couple of the books discussed I had read and some I had not, but it made me want to read those books as well. Kudos, Julie Halpern!

Review: Split

Title: Split
Author: Swati Avasthi

     From GoodReads, "Sixteen-Year-Old Jace Witherspoon arrives at the doorstep of his estranged brother Christian with a re-landscaped face (courtesy of his father’s fist), $3.84, and a secret.
He tries to move on, going for new friends, a new school, and a new job, but all his changes can’t make him forget what he left behind—his mother, who is still trapped with his dad, and his ex-girlfriend, who is keeping his secret.
At least so far.
Worst of all, Jace realizes that if he really wants to move forward, he may first have to do what scares him most: He may have to go back. First-time novelist Swati Avasthihas created a riveting and remarkably nuanced portrait of what happens after. After you’ve said enough, after you’ve run, after you’ve made the split — how do you begin to live again?"

     This book was an amazing read!  I'm always trying to find great books for guys and I am really happy that this book is written from a guy's perspective.  I think that author, Swati Avasthi, (a woman, which I didn't realize until I read the back flap) did an amazing job portraying the feelings of someone like Jace, a teenager who purposefully takes the abuse of his father to protect his mother.  The book is a roller coaster ride of emotions and it is easy to see how even in a bad experience, family is one of those things that is permanent.
     I loved the dynamic between Jace and his brother, Christian, who left the family when Jace was eleven to escape the abuse.  It is understanding that Jace would be somewhat untrusting of Christian and vice-versa.  The thing that is difficult to understand, both before and after reading the book, is why someone stays in an abusive relationship.  The book gave me some insight into the reasons, but I still don't understand it fully... and maybe, fortunately for me, I never will.

Only Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel, knows how to turn boarding an airplane into a feat that is glamorous, innovative and chic.

Normally, upon boarding a flight, you are barraged with gray sweats, flannel pajamas, ragged hoodies and unkempt hair. Passengers are annoyed, frazzled — wishing to be anywhere but squeezed between two strangers in a seat the size of a pincushion.

But Lagerfeld turned all these stereotypes on their head with the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2012 couture show.

For the show, which debuted the last week of January, Lagerfeld commissioned the construction of the “Chanel plane,” a stage setting whose seats, aisles and walls rendered it a perfect imitation of your last Delta economy flight. It was built in 5 days within the Grand Palais in Paris.

Like other airplanes, the Chanel plane had limited seating — but unlike other airplanes, many important figures of fashion, accustomed to private jets, were clamoring for a ticket on this ride.

The theme of air transit pervaded the show. The neat clothes on the runway vaguely resembled vintage stewardess outfits, and models sported hair that seemed to defy gravity. In an economic temperature that has caused many fashion designers to cut back on extravagance in their shows, Lagerfeld’s was certainly a bold move. For one of the most sought-after fashion houses to house its show inside of a “plane” could just be another mark of Lagerfeld’s historic eccentricity, but I think he had a greater point to make.

A quick glance at history is enough to convince us that fashion explains the zeitgeist of its times. During the economic boom of the 1920s, skirt hemlines went up. During the recent recession and housing crisis, a 2008 Time magazine article noted the connection between the popularity of the color black and the mood of the general public. Researchers at IBM in 2011 found that heel heights increased in economic downturns.

Within today’s economy, the task of riding an airplane has perhaps become even more mundane — a hassle of security, lines, baggage-check and general inconvenience. With international conversation revolving around the 99%, I wouldn’t be surprised if Lagerfeld himself were making a statement about the direction of fashion today. Certainly his beautiful garments are not accessible to all, but by displaying them in a setting as plebeian as an airplane’s economy class, he may be remarking that the distinct lines of America’s social classes are starting to blur.

Since Lagerfeld has always been a leader in the world of art and culture, I’m excited to see what’s next. It may be too much to hope that gourmet chefs will begin serving delicacies out of food trucks or that the Hilton line will launch a chain of cheap hostels, but Lagerfeld’s plane may be a bold first step to opening up the world of luxury to all.

What I have been doing

Bodega Bay

This is how much knitting I got done over Labor day. The picture really doesn't do this piece justice. I love it. I did skip the 80's length that it is meant to be (can you say "to the knee"?) and I didn't put the bobbles. I think I am going to love this sweater.

I also went to Brentwood on Saturday to the u-pick to get tomatoes to can. No u-pick because of the crop this year. We did score boxes of canning tomatoes for a good price though. We got to pick a few of em. It took all day to can enough for 3 of us to take home.

On a sad note... I did find out this weekend that the shop will be closing its doors and not selling. I have mixed emotions on how I feel about this. On one side I am excited to be moving on to a new adventure. On the other hand I feeling like there is a death in the family. It is my decision and I know that I am doing the right thing for myself but I am very sad about an ending of another part of my life.

Hockey Mom said...

Change is never easy. I'll send positive thoughts your way.

Lisa said...

it wouldn't have been "Yarn!" without you anyway....

BeanMama said...

Oh, no :( Will miss Yarn! desperately. But I'm glad you're doing what's right for you. But... ouch!

Linda said...

What is this new adventure you are moving on to? Are you free to tell?

Do you have a closing date yet? I need to come in and stock up on sock yarn!

I'm also so sad to see you leaving. Will you continue your blog?

sewingsuzee said...

I'm SO sad - sad that my own personal stash in a separate building will be gone, sad about not seeing your friendly face whenever I want.

But I know that this is the start of a new and exciting phase for you and Mr. Y, and I congratulate you!

And the tomatoes look so lovely in their jars. I hope you keep them out for viewing!

TheAmpuT said...

I'm simultaneously excited for you and your new venture, and sad for your (and in turn, my!) loss.

Isn't life a wild ride?!

Stefaneener said...

Oh nooooo. I'm so sad, and happy for you, but poor Thing 1, and 2, and 3.

But the store was a lot about you, so I will have to wander off and go somewhere else. I'll stop by very very soon.

Lolly said...

You know, Lisa is spot on. I know this is a bitter-sweet decision, but you *are* the 'yarn girl'. No one could have filled your shoes.

Romi said...

Bummer. But as Lisa and Lolly said, Yarn wouldn't be the same without you. Waah. :(

On the bright side, maybe you'll enjoy your knitting even more from now on, since it will no longer be a job. :D

ms. crafty said...

:-( we'll miss you and the store and all of the yarny goodness! but, of course you have to do what is right for you.

Other stuffs from Philippines

Tomorrow kena bangun awal sebab flight esok. That means tonight will be full of bags and clothes and stuffs because mum asked me to pack tonight. Ucu will be here tomorrow.

Anyway, what present did Dad gave to Lala from Philippines?

Disney puzzles

And Barbie crayons.

What about Mell?

Soft toys from ToysRUs Philippines. Happy birthday song (the one yang ada tulis 'Happy Birthday'), laughing kid (the one that shows a happy face), "BOING!!" sound (blue stars) and the Big Band sounds like a funfair.

Anyway, this coming Thursday is mum's birthday so dad bought her a kitchen aid that she wanted ages ago. This week's cake is not as nyummy as the past ones because mum made the ganache using a different cooking chocolate.

Dad said a room with a tub in the bathroom is expensive.

And around the hotel, there are many super, great shops!

Convenience Store there. In front of the store are tricycles. It's like a 'beca' but not with bicycle, motorcycle. And the nearest to the camera, the one like a mini bus, is a gepney.
