Hi everybody! I just wanted to ask a quick question. I'm working on a small Hardanger doily as a Christmas present, and I'm at the buttonhole edging (taking a deep breath at the mere thought). I'm finding the corners a bit tricky, so I've been looking in my books for tips. A couple of my books say...

Finally, finally! Thanks to Sheena, I got my piece done in a timely manner: http://www.effervescentdesigns.com/red.htm Dang, I'm just so happy I could faint, though I'm feeling quite alone. My LNS owner, though willing to carry the chart, turned her nose up at it (as did my mother--but that was...

My dear Emma went to sleep in my arms with the gentle help of our vet at noon today. She became so tired over the weekend, and it was time. I'll see her again; she'll be in heaven, or it won't be heaven. Dawne

I am so excited, after loosing our cat to cancer a year ago, the house has felt empty. We've been looking around at the local shelters,and found a pair that was perfect. The adoption paperwork came through yesterday, so we were able to bring them home as part of my birthday. They are about 8 or...

In case anyone wants to know, here's what happened with my carry-on cross stitch supplies when I went to China last month: I carried on a pair of Fiskar's with 3" blades, and they were accepted from Chicago to Detroit, Detroit to Tokyo, and then Tokyo to Beijing. I was assured they would be OK...

Have recently got myself a copy of a wonderful new book "Gay Eaton's Ukrainian Whitework". Gay is a New Zealander, who has previously written a book on Wessex stitchery. This book presents Ukrainian whitework, including merezhka (and she spells it the same way as me!! :D ) She's done a great job...

I can stitch on my porch, or in the car with the windows open, but unless it is completely windless, I can't just stitch out side. Does any one here stitch outside? Cheryl

Hi all! I am a longtime RCTN reader, but I haven't kept up for a year or so. So I am sure this has been asked and answered before, but please forgive me. I have a friend whose grandson will be Bar Mitzvah'd next spring and she would like to embroider a tallit for him. But she can't find any...

I'm coming to the place where there's always someone who knows! Since I've been using a walker quite a lot, and putting all my weight on my hands, they've become numb, and very difficult to use effectively. Is there anyone who has had this problem, who can give advice ? I'm taking vitamin B6,...

Happy Holidays everyone near and far from quite a mild Canada - hey, we'll take it. :-) Sharon (N.B.)

A very Happy Birthday to Sue Hartman!,

IN the US, preschool is generally privately paid by parents, and can be any or all of the years ages 2-5. (This is different than daycare, which is childcare while parents work.) Preschool is most commonly half day, though sometimes all day (especially as children approach "real school" age),...

She's here dropping DD back at school and visiting her sister who lives in NH. So, I'm off to the grocery store for Benadryl for the DS with poison ivy, some good munchies and something that catches my eye for dinner.... Cheryl

I wonder if anyone knows of any psychology-related charts out there. It's a long-shot, I know, but I thought I'd take a stab at it. I mean, psychology isn't exactly a popular subject with most people, is it? But perhaps there's a Freud chart? Or a "Pink Freud" chart? Weirder things have...
