Assembly

Sew the irises onto the eye whites. So the insides of the ears onto the ears. Curve the ears slightly and sew them on to the head. Sew the arms, feet, eyes and hair onto the head. Embroider the smile with black wool. I find it helpful to pin everything on before I start sewing to make sure it looks good.

    e book in it or something. I believe that you simply could do with a few % to pressure the message house a bit,
    however other than that, this is fantastic blog. A great read.

    a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.

  17. I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thank you!|
