I've been haunting The Needlework Show site looking for updates. This designer (designers?) is out of one my favorite places in the world http://applecrossstitchdesigns.com/ I might have to get my mother the Peggy's Cove lighthouse chart and I want (don't need, just want) the Provincial Flowers...

Stefania Bressan lives in Italy and I'm concerned about her. If anyone knows about her safety, I'd appreciate a word. Dianne

Went for a ride today with my neighbor- to http://contoocookneedleworkgallery.com/aboutus.cfm To get the Rainbow Gallery I needed to do the canvas work SAL. And got a few more things... And it turns out she remembers Gillian visits and used to lurk here. Talk about a mini reunion. It was well...

OK, guys and gals, I have dome to the well of all stitching knowledge. I have been trying to find a font that will go well with the Hinzeit NAVY chart, so that I could personalize it for DS's retirement on the 24th. I have not had any luck, the words are to long etc. So, to plan 2. I will...

Well, it's been a busy day and gratefully, I don't have to leave the house again. First, DD outgrew her most recent "nice top", in a record 6 weeks. And all her bottoms now have holes in the knees. And well, no "nicer" shoes. And we are expected at my folks for family dinner at a nice restaurant...

This past weekend an internet group I participate in had a "retreat" not too far from where I live. There were 22 women in attendance, and we rented out the main 'cabin' at a church camp. The lone male in attendance only made an appearance when called upon, as he lived in a house on the...

Jim found this site and sent it to me. I had to buy a can of soup, since I had none in the house LOL. It is a similar concept to Sheena's rice thing, but Campbells gives free seeds to community and 4H gardens as well as to me. ........................................ Campbell's Soup will...

I've been going through my stash and listing everything I can. (I've been working on it for about two weeks off and on, and I still have at least a week of two to go. I also spent some time last week making a list of about 30 books donated to our Guild by the husband of a deceased member. ...

The husband will be doing the taxes today.... I will be doing laundry, cleaning up the yard, cleaning out the garage. Anything not to be in the general area of the computer Cheryl

for my DD, whose silly big dog swallowed some ibuprofen gel caps and has been touch and go since Thursday. A little prayer for dog Remy too. He is only 2, and DD cannot imagine losing him. Dawne

A funny little story: I have two chairs at home, and they both fill up space, so next week I'm going to throw one of them out to 'big garbage day'. They both have their advantages and I tried them side by side but the deciding vote came to... the one easier to stitch in, hehe.

I've had a quick go through. Nothing has said "BUY ME" (might be for the best). Honestly, some of the pages look like the same old stuff. Cheryl

Saw the finished Noah's Ark and other completed works. Got a ladybug counting pin for my birthday (early) and gave Bobbie her birthday gift (late, very late). A paper of vintage ladybug pins and a bone thread winder. Cheryl

Hi there! I'm looking for conversion charts for VA and Trebla/Duchess threads to Anchor/DMC. Preferably DMC. I've looked round the net and found a Duchess conversion chart for sale on a website, but it would cost me £7. There must be something else out there!

For years, I used a software program to do my taxes. That stopped when I got a letter from the IRS telling me I owed a lot of money! I quickly found an accountant who figured out that I hadn't reported some investment income but that I didn't owe as much as the IRS said I did. This year, things...

A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves. "What are you doing in there?" She asked. The rabbit replied: "This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?",

I've been browsing - saw more this time to like than the last. However, I am stuck on the Funk & Weber puzzle - anyone want to help? two syllable words that rhyme to answer the clues: Example: Scary streaks in the sky - Frightening Lightning I am stuck on:

In addition to not so little bits of my brain, I can't find a container of drop crystals that I wanted to use for a tassel. After I went through all my drawers not once, not twice but three times, the purple threads that I thought were gone for good turned up under a beading tray on my work...
