It works wonders... even on my DIL who hates to put drops in her eyes! And she is in her 30's! <br />Your skirt turned out cute.... sandles would be good with that skirt... with a short heal... or flip flops?Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-11300648095538762072010-08-03T04:22:52.774+10:002010-08-03T04:22:52.774+10:00I love the skirt, and agree with a previous commen...I love the skirt, and agree with a previous commenter that the horizontal grain in the center panel looks like a design choice.<br /> On your serger - I don't know how long you've had it or if you've replaced the blade recently, but a dulled blade can cause stitching problems too, that might not show up unless you are stitching a more challenging fabric. Especially if the knit in question has some lycra content, the blade will need to be good and sharp to trim it to the right width for the stitch. When I replaced mine last month, I was surprised to see actual nicks in the old blade from catching pins, and it sews much better now.Dorothynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-34312002450596585772010-07-31T19:29:21.386+10:002010-07-31T19:29:21.386+10:00Sounds like you need a pair of wedges!

I put a day bed in our bedroom a couple of months ago & put him to sleep in it. We've had sucess with that. He gets in our bed to snuggle before bedtime & then he climbs into his bed without (much) of a struggle most nights. After he gets in his bed, I put his music on for him & he falls asleep listening to his music. It's worked well for us & the hubster & I can sleep without a head or feet whacking us in the gut! I used to worry that my kiddo would sleep in our bed into his college years, but there's light at the end of that tunnel! Hope that helps you.Saminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997234339953688955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-59662901033168259202010-07-28T03:52:17.477+10:002010-07-28T03:52:17.477+10:00Adorable skirt!

And if it's not sleep to worry over, it's something else.
