Child Ordered to attend Traffic Class

Honestly I loved reading this article and I know not many will agree. But too often I see a child not buckled and moving around in

the backseat of some car while driving down the highway. Can I do anything about it? Sure, I can call it in and hope they get pulled over. The parent if stopped will surely tell the kid to buckle up but will it happen again?

A 5-year-old boy (in New Mexico) was ordered to go to traffic class when he refused to buckle up. A judge actually ordered the boy, David Kirk-Peet and his mother to attend the class. I’m not sure what this class entails but they quoted him to saying the following:

He promised to buckle up, saying: “You want to get safe.”

I applaud this judge and think more should force this class on those that get caught without the buckle. The child also got a certificate for attending the class, but I’m wondering if this is the type of class that shows what can happen to those that don’t buckle up. Anyone know? Do you think this was right? How do you keep yours buckled up? We have the do it or we don’t drive method.

sewing your own fashion accessories – great ideas for belts

My mom sent me the link to a great online article Threads Magazine has about making your own belts. Not only do they have easy instructions, but they also have different ways to wear a belt (and which type will flatter you the most).

Click here to read the full article.

That got me thinking about different kinds of belts… and how I could make them I’ve wanted a Japanese-style obi belt for a while now – not neccessarily as wide as this one:

But that same general idea (the pattern is McCall’s 4953 by the way) I don’t think it would be that difficult to make, and could look really cool with several different fabrics (silk perhaps?) use to layer it. Ah, so much inspiration, so little time!
