Hawaiian Ribbon Leis | How to make Ribbon Leis

Lei Making Instructions 

Mark the edge of the lemon or pink ribbon at 1/2 inch intervals. Place the marked ribbon on top of the white ribbon, with the marked edge aligned with one edge of the white ribbon. Sew a 1/2 inch gathering sticth close to the edge. Be sure to sew through both ribbons.

Push the end of your work down toward the knot, keep your work flat.

Facing the clamp, gather your work toward the clothespin and start forming the flower. Pinch both ribbons between your fingers, between each stitch, and push your work toward the clothespin, forming one petal at a time. When the ribbons get tangled just release the clothespin from the clamp and dangle it by the ribbons and they will untangle themselves. Reattach the clothespin to the clamp and start again.

How do you fancy trying your hand at making Hawaiian Leis?

Yew Court: Blue Jays and Computer Problems at Yew Court

Blue Jays and Computer Problems at Yew Court

Last week was about new baby and new career at Yew Court. This week it has been all about shopping for baby strollers and baby clothes for the new addition to the family.

It has also been about computer problems too. The other day I was busy working on my computer and drinking a cup of tea at the same time. This combination can be fatal. I lost concentration for one second and the next thing I knew I had knocked the cup of tea over my keyboard and killed my computer!

The goings on at Yew Court.

Choosing A Stroller for You and Your Baby

When you are expecting a new baby it is a wonderful event for the whole family to look forward to but there are lots of preparations to be made and new baby clothes, accessories and a thousand and one other things to be purchased. But one of the most important things to consider is choosing the right baby stroller for your new baby. There are lots of baby strollers on the market to consider with all types of styles and designs.

Comfort for your baby is very important factor to consider when choosing a stroller for your new baby. There are many strollers that are adaptable to expand with your baby so it will still be suitable for when your baby grows. Babies grow so fast so you will want a stroller that will accommodate a growing baby. Many baby strollers are adaptable for double stroller options so when a second sibling comes along the stroller can comfortably accommodate both baby and toddler.

Light weight strollers are very good when you want to take your baby on a trip into town, They should be easy to handle on the pavements and they should be able to be folded down easily too. This is an important fact to consider if you are travelling by public transport as you will need to fold the stroller down quickly for getting on and off buses or trains.

You may also want to consider a stroller that can be adapted for use when travelling by car with in car seat attachment strap and safety harness. Safety for your baby is another very important consideration so you will want to choose a stroller with all the safety features such as safety harness, easy brake locking, and manoeuvrability. The stroller should be well balanced and able to support the baby and any movement he makes and not tip over.

This is a helpful article about choosing a baby stroller.

Can Customers Find You Offline?

by pittfall on March 19, 2011

Local SearchHow are you directing people online to your locations offline? Where are your offline locations showing up online? Where are people searching for your information?

Online visibility has become increasingly more important for offline businesses because of the change in the nature of people’s search for information. Technology has, and will continue to change the way that we look, find and digest information, both from an online and offline perspective.

There are a few questions that many companies are not asking, but should be:
Are my offline locations easy to find online?
How are my customers, and more importantly, potential customers finding my locations?
Do I even know where to start?

If you have an offline business, how do your customers find you?

Quora vs. eHow: Where’s the Better Quality? | WebProNews

Ok, the title is a trick question. There’s no concrete answer to this. You’ll find a mix of quality across both Quora and eHow. Furthermore, these sites are two different animals, but there is some overlap. Both sites have more than just how-to content, but both sites also have a great deal of how-to content.

Have you had a better experience with content on Quora or on eHow? Let us know.

It is this realization that led me to this piece to begin with. Browsing Quora, looking for some interesting conversations, I came across this one for, “How should you wash clothes?” Yes, that’s Quora, not eHow. The thread has actually been open since June of last year.

Quora gets a lot of press for content about companies – people with direct knowledge of situations answering questions about said situations. Apparently it’s also a how-to site. Do a Quora search for “how to” and you will be inundated with search results. Among those, you’ll find some of the kinds of content Quora is more well-known for, but you’ll also find things like “How can I learn to love salads?”, “How do you learn to love yourself?”, “How is sunscreen thought to cause cancer?”, etc.

So which one do you like the best - Quora or eHow?

Portrait Photographer Ipswich

Portrait Photographer Ipswich 

Introducing Photographer Richard Cammell

RichardRichard Cammell is a local Ipswich photographer who takes great portraits whether it be of babies, group photos, special events or even your precious pets.

Richard's love of photography began with taking photos of wild life. He enjoys the countryside and begun by taking photos of insects and plant life, then moved on to birds and river wild life. He likes nothing better than taking a walk along by the river taking shots of all the wild birds and creatures he sees on his travels.

Richard says the art of good photography often comes down to luck, being in the right place at the right time. His advice is to practice as much as possible and to take lots of shots. You may end up with loads of terrible photos but amongst them there could just be that one brilliant photo and that is what makes it all worth while.

He next began experimenting with portrait photography while taking photos of the family. He has always been called on to take photos of any special event, be it birthdays, weddings or new babies in the family.

From raunchy to regal

A sheer dress Kate Middleton modelled at a charity fashion show nine years ago is going up for auction today.

Kate Middleton(Rex Features)
Back in 2002 Kate Middleton wore a knitted mesh slip-dress and some black underwear when she strutted down the runway for a charity fashion show at St Andrews University in Scotland. Prince William was sitting in the front row. He had paid £200 for the seat and according to royal legend he made his first move at a party later that evening.
The infamous dress was only ever worn by Kate Middleton at the charity fashion show and it is going under the hammer today (expecting to go for between £8,000 and £10,000).

To celebrate the dresses auction, we've taken a look at Kate's style through the years and see how she has gone from raunchy to regal.

What a difference 9 years can make. Kate Middleton's dress goes up for action.

Plan unveiled to switch May holiday -  UK News - MSN News UK

Tourism Minister John Penrose said moving the May Day bank holiday could benefit tourism

Tourism Minister John Penrose said moving the May Day bank holiday could benefit tourism

The May Day bank holiday could be dropped and replaced by either St George's Day in April or Trafalgar Day in October under new tourism plans the Government has announced.

But a proposal for "double summertime" to bring the UK's clocks into line with Europe's was not in the tourism strategy despite widespread reports that it would be included.

Outlining the strategy, Tourism Minister John Penrose said moving the May Day bank holiday could bring tourism benefits.

Moving it to St George's Day on April 23 would get the tourist season off to an earlier start, while putting it back to the October half term would elongate the tourist season.

The bank holiday around St George's Day could be a "National Day" holiday while the October one could be either a "UK Day" or a national day to commemorate military victories such as Trafalgar.

This is an interesting article, especially if you live in the UK. It talks about how Tourism minister John Penrose is proposing dropping bank holidays and replacing them with St. George's Day or Trafalgar Day etc under the new Tourism plans.
