Limpet stationery supplies July 2009 by Bruce Fletcher (remove dentures to reply)
Julia, There's a lot of colour in the July edition of the Limpet so I need the following items before the August edition which goes to print on 23 August: C5 envelopes (self-seal!) - I use about 60 a month so a box of 1,000 will last for well over a year. "Rapid Standard Staples 26/6" (5,000...

OT healthy Guinness by Bruce Fletcher (remove dentures to reply)
The old slogan really was accurate! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3266819.stm However, when a pint in Kirkwall last week cost me 3.30 GBP I don't think I'll be drinking a lot of it -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK "My friend had a pet rock, he called it Trelawney"

Reading is never off topic is it? by Cheryl Isaak
Just finished "The Thirteenth Tale", which I highly recommend to all the Jane Eyre fans out there. Finished about an hour ago, Naameh's Kiss. Same world as her Kushiel's series, but set several generations after. I suspect a few more books to follow. Any one got a few good suggestions? Reading...

Completely off topic, but I'll bet someone recognizes this cardgame by Cheryl Isaak
Yesterday, my Mom and I tried to remember the rules to a double deck rummy (including jokers) game that we learned in the mid 1970's. Basically, the first deal was 7 cards and you had to get 3 or 4 of a kind to make your first play. The second you needed a run of 4 (2,3,4,5 of hearts for...

new use for round-neck magnifier by Kalmia
I found it a big help with home manicures. You can apply polish without running it up on the cuticle. Prob. good for pedicures too, if you are pretty limber.

Life in the country is often interesting... by MelissaD
Nothing sucks more than waking up in the morning and your yard is flooded because there's a tiny hole in the bottom of your well tank and all 220 gallons of water are spraying into your yard. No wait, it definitely sucks more when you realize you can't take a shower or use the...

Some one here will have a thought by Cheryl Isaak
On how to re-purpose old sleeping bags...holes worn in the flannel inside and the outer fabric. If I was still camping, I'd mend them. But I'm not. And they're taking up room in my basement that I could really use. I've emailed the local animal shelters, but no response. Cheryl

Thimbles by KTinMich
I'm currently working on Scarlet Quince's large version of Van Gogh's "Starry Night". It is huge and will take me about 2 years to get it done. I have finished less than 1/3 of it and am getting a pretty sore "needle push finger", the middle finger, that is. Gotta get a thimble. Tried a...

My favorite project by [email protected]
What has been one (or more) of your favorite stitching projects? One of mine has been a almost totally satin stitch/long and short stitch I did from a kid's coloring page that came in a kit. It's a jungle scene with lots of leaves and flowers. It was a ton of fun to stitch and very colorful. ...

Stitch Away by Donna
Hubby at the airport boarding a plane right now. It's time to stitch. My dearest has left the hot and humid D.C. area for hotter and drier Phoenix. Got 3 days without him. Other than buying a battery for the new used Mazda, I've got no plans.
