Butterfly Mobile I was inspired by this post about paper butterflies on craftster. The photo on the left is of my mobile hanging on the wall and the one on the right is the mobile hanging from the ceiling. I made each butterfly two-sided with contrasting fabrics. I think it would be sweet in a child’s room or you could use more adult fabrics and hang it in celebration of spring. A smaller version of this butterfly could also be used as an embellishment or could be made as a garland. Supplies for Three Butterflies: Fabric (1/4 yards or remnants of six different fabrics)Interfacing, optional (1/2 yard)ThreadMonofilament (fishing line)Sewing needle with large eye Step 1: Cut fabrics and interfacing according to template: butterfly.pdf (48KB) Step 2: Sew fabrics right sides together with interfacing on top (as shown below). Step 3: Cut the full length of monofilament (about 4′) and thread through the needle. All done!

Nothing But Bonfires : Sixty Years Of Memories For my dad's 60th birthday last week, I wanted to do something really fun. My dad and I talk a lot about the past---nostalgia runs in our blood, I think---and we both love to reminisce. Inspired by Jordan Ferney's Postcard Birthday Poster, I started batting around an idea: what if I could get everyone from my dad's past to contribute a memory they had of him? What if I had all those people send their memories to me, and then I put each one into an envelope---sixty total, of course---and had him open them, one by one, on his birthday? That would be a lot of memories, right? So I wrote an email. Hello everyone! If you're receiving this email, you probably know that our dad, Patrick Burns, is turning 60 next month (much as he would hate us to be reminding everyone, I'm sure.) And this is where you come in! If you have a spare moment in the next few days, we would be so grateful if you'd jot down a favorite memory you have of our dad and put it in the post. Thank you so much again.

Adult Adoption: What Can We Learn From This? | Related Topics This story was on MSNBC’s website yesterday and it’s been making me think. Sandra and Ross Titus recently adopted Jillian. The thing is, Jillian is 29. Adoption is, of course, the legal process by which a person or people become legal parents of a child, replacing some other set of parents. For one thing, it would seem that at 29 you are entitled to make this decision (obviously together with the people who plan to adopt you) and thus, the role of the state as screener should be diminished. Notably, while it appears that the adoption does terminate the rights of the preceding set of parents (in this case, the birth parents) they don’t have any right to object to it. Now why would that be different with an adult adoption? There’s been a lot of discussion of birth certificates here on the blog. This seems to me quite striking. But none of that stuff is at issue here. And this brings me to a larger point about the role of law in our lives.

The Genuine Intent of Adult Adoption | Adoption in New York, Florida, Ohio and Nationwide Recently while researching an adoption trivia question for our Facebook page, I was brought back to my high school days, sitting in Mrs. Karawicki’s Latin class. I found a Wikipedia page that discussed the beginning of modern-day adoption and how its roots can be traced back as far as the ancient Romans. In fact, many of the Roman emperors were adopted as adults to ensure the current emperor had a son to pass his throne to. While many adoption stories today revolve around infant or child adoptions, adult adoption is still prevalent today. Chuck Johnson, who is the President and CEO of the National Council For Adoption, said in the article that he believes the number of adult adoptions in the United States has risen in recent years. The article said that Jillian’s biological mother and father are still alive, however she now refers to them as her “ex-mom” and “ex-dad.” Unfortunately not everyone respects the genuine intent of adult adoption.

70 Cutie Baby Animals Bring You a Good Mood Cuteness is usually characterized by some combination of infant-like physical traits, especially small body size with a disproportionately large head, large eyes, and round and softer body features. Infantile personality traits, such as playfulness, fragility, helplessness, curiosity, innocence, affectionate behavior, and a need to be nurtured are also generally considered cute. To those who are living in the concrete jungle, we have collected the following cute animals, hoping they could bring you a good mood and maybe, remind you of the wild world.

Right? 20 Common Grammar Mistakes That (Almost) Everyone Makes I’ve edited a monthly magazine for more than six years, and it’s a job that’s come with more frustration than reward. If there’s one thing I am grateful for — and it sure isn’t the pay — it’s that my work has allowed endless time to hone my craft to Louis Skolnick levels of grammar geekery. As someone who slings red ink for a living, let me tell you: grammar is an ultra-micro component in the larger picture; it lies somewhere in the final steps of the editing trail; and as such it’s an overrated quasi-irrelevancy in the creative process, perpetuated into importance primarily by bitter nerds who accumulate tweed jackets and crippling inferiority complexes. Below are 20 common grammar mistakes I see routinely, not only in editorial queries and submissions, but in print: in HR manuals, blogs, magazines, newspapers, trade journals, and even best selling novels. Who and Whom This one opens a big can of worms. Which and That Lay and Lie This is the crown jewel of all grammatical errors. Moot Nor
