Problem: I spent the day reading to the boys , organizing their room ( with their help ) , teaching , cleaning , reading , making more jam , etc . Matt and Caedmon were out of the house for the evening , so after the little ones were in bed , I sat on the couch with a towel on my lap and hulled the last batch of muscadines and watched Babette 's Feast . It was a lovely movie and I enjoyed seeing all the crockery and copper pots . It was a very beautiful movie to watch .

Why did they decide to watch Babette 's Feast ?

A: Because they were home and the children were asleep .

Problem: Well what 's so cool about beads , you ask ? Well these particular beads are black glass off a ruined Victorian handbag , and the white ones , from the same handbag , are clear and lined inside with silver . The leaves , of which you can only see one , I have no idea why , there are actually eight of them and they are black not whatever shade of pink that is , are stamped tin from a piece of costume jewelry from the 1930 's . The moral of the story is you can make really cool stuff out of bits of trash scavenged from second hand shops .

What may have happened before I had beads ?

A: I had purchased the bag from an antique store and then removed the beads .

Problem: I just wonder if I am weird or something ... Today I attempted to sew with flip flops on and I could n't do it , I had to kick them off and go bare . I might just be an oddball , it would n't be the first time . Last weekend we spent in the hills by a lake . It was super hot , but beautiful .

What is the reason I could n't sew in flip flops ?

A:
You have to control a pedal with your foot and flip flops might get in the way .
