It's not enough to know the signs your wife is not attracted to you.

Celebrities have long been a source of divorce discourse, with much speculation surrounding the reasons for their seasons ending. Think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, Chris Martin and Gwynneth Paltrow, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian to name but a few.

Ricky Nelson - Poor Little Fool (1958) "Poor Little Fool," released by Ricky Nelson in 1958, stands as a pivotal track in rock and roll and pop music...

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Sag Hallo zu der Sonne, gute Manieren sind Pflicht und lass die Sonne dich berühren. Fühle die Wärme seiner Strahlen auf der Haut und auch in Dir! Denn… Girls just wanna have sun now! Denn im Sommer ist der Spaß allgegenwärtig. Hey Sunshine ist ein fruchtiger Duft, der Birne, Pfirsich und Traube kombiniert und ein Sommergefühl hervorruft, wenn die Bäume ihre schönsten Farben zeigen, geschmückt von ihren Früchten. Ein heller floraler Akkord schwebt in der Luft. Es besteht aus Jasmin, Rose und Gardenie. Eleganz und Romantik mit der lässigen Note, die entsteht, wenn Moschus und Holz zusammenkommen, auf einem warmen Hintergrund voller Komfort, den Sie spüren, wenn Sie entspannt im Gras liegen.

We here at Birch have been so lucky to work with Christina McKinney. An amazing designer and seamster. She's gone to the deep end to pull up this adorable new plushie pattern, which is available as a free download! Make sure to pin this project and tell all your friends about it. We are just in love with these little guys! I’m so happy to be bringing you another fun tutorial for Birch! This design was inspired by the fabulous new Eiko collection by Jay-CynDesigns. The mini version is perfect for little hands to manipulate and chew, while the larger one is GREAT for snuggles!! Fish happen to be the current design in my son’s nursery, so I’ll be adding a few of these to his decor for sure! Tips before you begin: Seam allowance is 1/4 in unless otherwise stated. If you have a directional print, pay careful attention when you cut your pieces to make sure everything lines up. Read the pattern pieces carefully before cutting. They are all marked with directions to aid in cutting & sewing. This project requires quite a bit of pinning at a few points but I DO NOT recommend running over pins as you sew. Press all your fabric before cutting. DOWNLOAD THE FREE PATTERN HERE. Supplies: 1/4 yd main fabric 1-2 fat quarters for fin & tail accent fabrics polyfil stuffing printed pattern pieces chopstick for turning & stuffing Pattern is available in 2 sizes! The large fish has a finished measurement of 15 1/2in X 10in & the small fish measures 9in X 5 1/2 in. (The smaller pattern is a 65% reduction of the larger) First you will assemble your top, side, and bottom fin pieces. With right sides together, match up each set & sew. Leave the long side of each piece open for turning and stuffing. Once each piece is stitched, clip your curves all the way around before turning. This will help the curves lay properly. Just be sure not to cut through your line of stitching! Turn all 4 fins right side out and press. Once all 4 fin pieces are complete, lightly stuff them with polyfil. Basically, just fill them to your desired fluffiness - there’s no right or wrong here! Then, using the lines on the pattern pieces as a rough guide, add lines of stitching to each fin piece. I find that placing a few pins in the piece helps keep the sides even and prevent puckering. Also, flatten the piece and keep it held firm as you run it through your machine. As long as you don’t add *too much* bulk here, it should pass through without a problem. Repeat these steps with all 4 pieces, using the pattern pieces for stitch placement reference. Once all 4 are complete, set these aside. Next, match up & stitch your tail and body pieces together along the triangle edge. (I know, this looks odd. It will make sense soon!) Make sure you have matched the correct body piece with it’s corresponding tail piece. With right sides together, and using your pattern piece for a stitch guide, sew the pieces together along along the triangle side. Be sure to secure your start and stop points since you will be ironing this flat. Once stitched, snip the inner corners and trim the point for easier turning. Turn right side out and press, with the triangle point toward the tail. Repeat these steps with the other body/tail pieces as well. This is what your inner seam will look like: Once pressed, topstitch the triangle point on each side. Try to stay close to the edge. Your line will start and stop at the straight edge seam on either side of the triangle. Using the dot on the body & side fins as a guide, place one side fin on the body. Be sure to extend about 1/4 in or more of the fin past the edge. Adjust it as needed to make sure it’s sewn into the seam allowance. Now pin the head in place along the rounded curve, with the fin sandwiched in between. Body & head pieces should be right sides together. (Ensure you have your fin oriented properly before pinning & sewing.) I find the easiest method for pinning along a curve is to find the center of both the body and head piece and pin there first. Then, work your way up and pin, then down and pin. (I find that things line up better this way than if I start at the top.) Stitch along the curve making sure to secure your start and stop points. Once you have stitched each curve in place, make sure you have caught both sides with the fin in between. If everything is sewn properly, snip the rounded curve to aid in turning. Trim off the protruding inner piece of the fin so that it is flush with the seam allowance. Press your curved seam. Repeat this with the opposite body/head/side fin pieces. With each side piece assembled, you’re now ready to attach the final two fins. Lay one body piece right side up. Using the pattern piece placement dots as a guide, place your top and bottom fin pieces. The raw edges of the fins should stick out at least 1/4 in past the edge of the body piece. Lay the opposite body piece on top, match up all your seams, and pin in place. At the point where your body and tail meet, you will sew a small “V” rather than follow the curve. I find it easiest to simply mark the line to follow with a pencil before I stitch. This “V” will ensure that your tail and body seams lay properly when turned. Before you begin stitching, designate a start and stop point with your pins leaving a small opening for turning and stuffing. Because of the fin placement, I find that the top or bottom portion of the tail is the best place for this. Stitch slowly around the edge, making sure to catch all sides and your fin pieces as you go. Check all edges before snipping your corners and trimming. At the joint between your tail & body, you will snip a “V” along your stitching edge. Once all edges are snipped, turn right side out and press. Using your chopstick or other (blunt) turning tool, stuff your fish to desired firmness. The method used for sewing and stitching the tail to the body created a small triangle pocket on the inside of the fish. This inside triangle does not need to be stuffed. (The tail looks the same whether the triangle is stuffed or not.) Once the fish is filled, use a blind or ladder stitch to close your opening in the tail. Then, sew up a few more so you have your own school of snuggly fish!! Thank you Christina for this amazing pattern and tutorial. We can't wait to make a ton of these!

Verse: Let her who cares for needlework and wishes to perform the same, learn thoroughly and never shirk, and she'll obtain both praise and fame. Typical of the band samplers of the 1700s, BANDS OF MANY COLORS captures the essence of a needlework era long since gone but remembered and studied with vigor by the needleart and sampler enthusiasts of today. Named for the neat rows of bands stacked one atop the other, the seventeenth-century band samplers are considered by many to be the most fascinating of all samplers; and the embroidery skills executed on these stitched works of art are legendary. Popular motifs, a single alphabet, and a variety of colorful bands have been combined to form the BANDS OF MANY COLORS sampler. The stitches included are Cross, Small Cross, Queen, Algerian Eyes, Diamond Eyes, Flat, Tent, Irish, Long Arm Cross, 4-Sided, Montenegrin Cross, Double Cross, Plait, Small Plait, 2-Sided Italian Cross, Satin Stitch Variation, Rice, Small Rice, Double Running, Chequer, Interior Hem Stitch, Hollie Point, Back, Pulled 4-Sided Stitch, and Buttonhole Bars. The stitcher of this masterpiece may wish to store it rolled, as were the samplers of earlier days; but for those who prefer to display their handiwork, this piece can be framed or finished as a decorative bellpull.
