I'm looking for someone who can reverse engineer a pair of antique knickers and make me some new ones.raebates said:Good idea. I can sew. I took clothing in 4-H for 9 years. The 10th year I only did foods because judging started on the day of my wedding. I did make my wedding dress, flower girl dress and all of the bridesmaids dresses.
I'll look for some for a while because buying them will be faster and easier than making them. If I can't find something I like, though, I'll just whip up a pair.
BethCooks4U said:Looks like several of us are in Wave 1. Me, Katie, Ann, TKG, Paulette... We REALLY need to have an "organizational" meeting while we are there. Where and when??? I'll be there. (You guys in Waves 2 & 3 - don't worry! You can be their via CS! Or just trust us!)
I figured.chefann said:umm..... you don't even want to know where my dirty mind ran with that set up.
Sure! The more, the merrier!MomToEli said:Hey! I'll be there! Can the baby cheffer join in too?
I am a veritable walking compendium of useless information.katie0128 said:Between Ann and TKG, I have learned more completely irrelevant (and irreverant) information on this site than I ever thought possible!

I've never tried to reverse engineer clothing. And I KNOW that I wouldn't want to start with pants. The pieces that make up pants just don't look like they should go together that way. And forget doing anything with a fly.raebates said:Sounds like Ann handled that inquiry well. I don't do a lot of sewing anymore. I also am really lousy at reverse engineering clothing. The couple of times I tried, the results were, well, embarrassing.
katie0128 said:If you're a baby cheffer, what does that make me... a toddler??? That would make some people around here (you know who you are) with thousands and thousands of posts, like, I don't know, grandparents or something!
Nice to think of Ann as being close to me in age, then.katie0128 said:If you're a baby cheffer, what does that make me... a toddler??? That would make some people around here (you know who you are) with thousands and thousands of posts, like, I don't know, grandparents or something!
MomToEliI think I've arrived said:Yippee... we've created another addict!
Of course!! Everyone's invited! I REALLY hope we can get a good group together this time if only for a short time!MomToEli said:Hey! I'll be there! Can the baby cheffer join in too?
If it makes you feel any better, my NOS Plus-Fours have a button fly.chefann said:I've never tried to reverse engineer clothing. And I KNOW that I wouldn't want to start with pants.

Ha! It seems like the plans always go awry, and nobody meets each other. I did meet, purely coincidentally, a couple CS-ers at Leadership. Which was cool. But if we plan something for conference, we can meet a LOT of people.amy07 said:Have you been having bad groups?
Right. We have planned things before and then people don't show up. One year we talked about yellow ribbons and I said I would have a balloon so we could find each other. I sat in the lobby with the balloon and wore the ribbon and saw no one from CS at all during that conference - the lobby was SOOOOOOOOO crowded I would have been surprised if I had though.chefann said:Ha!

I'll be the one in the purple dress and the red hat.etteluap70PC said:I have full intentions of meeting you ladies for drinks at the hiltn at least one night, although it may have to be a little late!
Great! We won't have any trouble finding you then. How are you at taking dares?The_Kitchen_Guy said:I'll be the one in the purple dress and the red hat.
What kind of things does she have planned? I wanted to plan some things with my group too and I just don't know enough about Chicago. I know Mag. Mile (doing that Sunday), Navy Pier (might do on Wednesday?). What else? We were thinking maybe a play or something... The first time I went we saw Menopause - a very fun play to see with girlfriends!ChefBeckyD said:I am in Wave 1 - and would love to meet up with you guys......but after our last cluster meeting, I am trying to figure out when! My director has alot of stuff planned for us - and we always go out for drinks at least one night...but I will be staying at the Hilton too - so I'm going to try!!! I DO NOT want to miss out on any possible fun!
Here's one you won't soon forget:BethCooks4U said:What kind of things does she have planned? I wanted to plan some things with my group too and I just don't know enough about Chicago. I know Mag.

Whatever "normal" is around here.chefann said:Paulette: you can PayPal me $2 for a button or go to my Cafe Press store (link in my siggy). There are more details in the "Cheffer Buttons" thread in the Conference 2007 area.
Beth: I only passed you because I've had a really boring week at work. I've been doing a repetitive task that requires me to be at the computer monitoring status and ready to kick off the next job. It's easier to be online (and therefore looking at the screen) while the jobs run than to read a book. I'll be done with that task by end of business Tuesday (probably), and my post frequency will probably drop back down to normal.

Some fun and different things that could be incorporated into a CS-only conference could include interactive workshops on popular CS topics such as coding, design, and social media. There could also be a designated "nerd zone" where attendees can play video and board games. A "must-do" could be a roundtable discussion on the future of technology and how CS members can shape it.
Having screen names and avatars on badges would be a great way for CS members to recognize and connect with each other in person. It would also add a fun and personalized touch to the conference.
Yes, there would definitely be a lot of abbreviated speak at a CS-only conference. It would be a great opportunity for CS members to geek out and use their tech lingo without worrying about being understood.
With a room full of CS members, there's bound to be a lot of lively discussion and participation in workshops. It would be a great opportunity for everyone to share their knowledge and ideas with each other.
CS members are known for their clever and creative minds, so a CS-only conference would definitely be filled with puns and jokes related to technology and coding. It would be a fun and entertaining way to bond with other CS members.
This would be a unique and fun workshop where CS members can let their creativity run wild and create costumes and fruit hats for different occasions. It would be a great way to showcase their coding skills and have some fun at the same time.
