I am pretty sure that Cheryl has been to the real place a few times. I have meant to, when I was in NH the last few summers, but haven't made it yet. It IS a brick and mortar store, and apparently has a bunch of things one just cannot live without. My 2 cents.. Gillian

A little native American boy asked his father, the big chief of the tribe, "Papa, why is it that we always have long names, while the white men have shorter names like Bill, Tex or Sam, for example?" His father replied, "Look son, our names represent a symbol, a sign, or a poem for our culture -...

We don't have any children but we have encountered (and endured) other people's children so these five short items rang true: 1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up. 2. Grandchildren are...

Last night, I put the final stitches in BOAF's "Le Printemps". I have been working on this off and on for about a year, but it's DONE!!! So, I have my two favorite seasons done (summer and spring), now tackle fall (again) and winter! Not quite ready to do either yet, so I'm on a strict rotation...

Not only did the kids start back to school within the last week, but I also finished Marbek's Garden Angel, which I had been doing for my 11-year-old daughter! Finally! :-) She has it gently tacked to her bedroom wall (at the edge of the fabric so it won't bother the stitched area) while she...

Hi everyone, just checking in. It's going very well at my new job, and I have made my first purchace: poster pens and aveture cards (for Christmas). Was just wondering if any of you have been on another cross-stitch group called Cross Stitch...

I've seen ornaments finished with a beaded edge instead of cording. Some have a single strand of beads attached to the perimeter of the ornament while others have what I can best describe as a jumble of beads around the perimeter. The single strands of beads appear to be seed beads and...

Hi everyone, My name is Shannon and I am 21 years old. I have known how to cross stitch for about 2 years now but I only started to get into it more seriously over the past year or so. My other hobbies are watching movies (from the old black and white classics up to modern day) also listening to...

Thanks, Marc I did find it on the Bonheur de Dames website. I'm wondering aobut the colors though--on your site, the "background" blue is very light and the whole piece looks clear and fresh as a watercolor. On their site the background is much darker and more...

I was at bowling last night and discussing cs with one of my teammates. She was telling me about a design she was working on and how she had goofed in one spot. When her DH asked her about following the pattern, she told him, "The pattern's just a *guide*!" I L'dOL about that and told her I had...

It came today!! Woo-hoo!!

When I signed onto my newsgroups on AOL this afternoon, I got a pop up message saying that I will soon not have direct access to this newsgroup. Of course, I can always go to google. However, it won't be as easy as it is now. AOL apologizes for this inconvenience. They gave no explanation as to...

Anyone doing this? I had lots of fun over the weekend using lots of specialty fibres that I had bought previously for other projects. It looks very pretty. I guess I had too much fun, 'cause I'm done all the stitches and have three long months to wait to go any further! Jeanine in Canada (who will...
