Ok, so I have faced a few facts the last few days and sewing is one of those facts. The other is laundry detergent making. So here goes. Rowdy's pants could be used as a shirt and pants since the crotch to waist band is 2 foot long. HA! But they fit BUT I have restricted him to not sitting down at all only standing for the fittings. They are done. I will post pictures later if you are lucky but I don't plan to do that till after Christmas morning. Now Paisley's gown is a whole different ordeal. It was a doozey to put together and Mom told me that ruffles were easy to do she must have had her fingers crossed behind her back because it was not easy at all. I did finally finish the gown and it's snappy looking. Just don't look closely at the fact that the ruffle on the sleeve is sewn down to the neck line. WOOPSIE! It gives it character and I don't figure these will hold up after one washing of laundry so no biggie. Oh, did I mention that Mom cut out the material for the gown and she cut the first piece out upside down so we used that as the back so essentially now him and Paisley match even more! HA! As of right now I am not going to be sewing anymore for quite sometime and I am not sure that I will ever tackle pajama's again. The other fact that I learned this week is that I am not going to be making anymore laundry soap ever again. I just don't think it is working very good. I have tried tweeking it with more this and that but Kris' pants just aren't coming very clean and his shirts came out smelling like his deodorant still. So I am out on making it but I will continue to make the other cleaners.I do really like the blue magic cleaner and so it will always be in my arsenal of cleaning products and I have used it just about every where.
Hair Update: Psoriasis is not better but not worse. Now I have over working oil glands though and my hair is super greasy. I am still on the search for a natural remedy for that. My Dad had really oily hair and it is hereditary so I know where I got it now to just control is. It does seem semi worse since starting the baking soda wash. I guess I might have created another problem solving one problem but I am sticking with the soda since it doesn't irritate the psoriasis. I wonder if my random chin hairs come from my Dad too. bahahaha I have read that regular vinegar with water as a rinse might help. I think I might try it. I was told that Apple Cider Vinegar makes oily. I would guess that the soda is stripping away to many impurities and my head is over compensating. My hair doesn't look oily to even myself and I really wouldn't have known I had a problem if it wasn't for my pillow.
Well it is Christmas Eve tomorrow and I am just about ready. Sure miss Dad and wish he could be with us again or we could celebrate Christ birth in Heaven with him that would be fine. He was always Santa and would hand out the Christmas presents from under the tree to everyone. He mostly liked watching everyone open their gifts and look at their expressions. Especially the kids. He never told me that but I caught him watching the boys and Torie several times and know that he enjoyed that part. Someday we will be with him again and so I will hang on to each memory till then.
