Apparently my posting concerning a specific company and a specific product offended someone (maybe not this group), and they reported it as spam, and my newserver was blocked, until we questioned them. That wasn't the intent. I'm sorry if it was taken for that. I just thought that other...

I've got two hardcover copies of this that I picked up at Bld. 19 (warehouse store in New England) a while ago, and I haven't been able to sell them on Ebay. So, anybody up for swaps? I'm in the Greater Boston area, for shipping purposes, and am interested in almost any type of thread or fabric,...

I've been working on the January Angel Puppy free chart from Vermillion Stitchery (http://www.vsccs.com/charts/AngelCatsPuppies/acp-01.html) and I finished it! My poor index fingers are so sore. I'm working my way through all twelve, and they'll be turned into lightly stuff Christmas ornaments...

So -- is anyone besides Janet & MOI going to be there? I keep waiting for someone post but haven't seen a thing! I am starting to get excited as it's just a bit over a week away :-). Best news -- DH got a bigger bonus that anticipated and he has promised to take me to Hershey for CATS in...

Last night DD and I attended a Shabbat service at a local temple as part of Girl Scout week. As I walked in the door, I see a male face that is vaguely familiar, but I know lots of people from work or around town. The woman greeting the Girl Scouts is familiar too - very familiar. Hello Cheryl,...

So I've been home now for just over a week, and it's probably time to report. So on the 26th of February we flew out of Saskatoon, just ahead of a snow storm. We flew in Edmonton, where it was storming, at least bad enough that my DB and SIL didn't meet us at the airport for our two hour layover....

Ok, so tell me what you do - and if you have knowledge, what judges expect. I have a piece that I am starting that has a lot of half crosses. Now, do I make the half crosses go the same direction as the top leg of my full crosses, or do I leave them the way the instructions suggest, which...

Was wondering if anyone knew anything about Firefly Designs. Found their website while surfing and saw some beautiful kits. When I sent them an e-mail it came back undeliverable. Thanks, Charlene

We were watching the PBS special about the Carpenters, "Close to You". They're selling the DVD for $120 and the DVD + CDs for $180. The question arises, is the extra bonus 45 minutes on the DVD *really* worth buying it for? Are the CDs something only available from PBS, or could we get them for...

Brenda, I was thinking of you as I walked down to meet DD's kindergarten bus. Went out the garage, checked the deck and promptly slipped on my butt. (it snowed Monday!) I am fine and a bit sore - but as I was thinking of you at the time, may be I got your pain reduced a tad! Cheryl

I'm almost at the end of one of the best books I've read in a long time, _Ahab's Wife_ by Sena Jeter Naslund. And I just have to recommend it to you. What a great story! Una, the wife of Ahab (of _Moby Dick_ fame) just pulls at my heartstrings. And throughout the book, she talks about her...
