Ok, this mother didn't need this today while shopping for DS's boxers.... Pouch enhancing boxers I felt my cheeks (facial) flaming as I quickly went by - after the intent sank in.... Cheryl

OK -- one of my most favouritest Christmas carols is "Mary's Boy Child". But -- and this seems to be a BIG "but" (not at all related to MY butt which, by the way, IS big) -- anywhoo the BUT part is that I like the calypso version of the song. I know that Boney M and The Brothers Four recorded...

I just have to share my latest project stitching on Congress cloth...I really enjoy working on this type of "canvas" as it's much softer than regular canvas plus the 24 count or mesh of this cloth is a nice size too...relatively easy to see & being able to do a goodly amount of detail. Best stitch...

Chime in as soon as your power and ISP are back on! Cheryl

Can someone tell me the reason why charts have to have symbols that look so much alike so bloody close together. It's frustrating for sure. I'm working on a rather big project and intermixed among the wings of a fairy are symbols so much alike that I have to use my magnifying glass each time I...

I just got an email from Herschnerrs that shows a lady sitting at a table stitching. It looks tiresome to me. Now, I don't know about you guys, but most of the time, I stitch on the couch. Where do you stitch? In a hardbacked straight chair or someplace comfy? Linda

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...

I am sewing little things for the Bazar for the Cat orrganization , they told me lately that those cats sell well , i am tempted to embroider one completely , but than of course i might keep it for me !!!

All, What's a father to do when his daughter works sooooo hard to create a brand new knitting blog...and nobody has come to visit it yet? Of course it's wonderful and you all should go check it out. She is a recent college grad with a math major who would "like to publish a math paper on the...

Yes, I'm happy dancing! I finished Fairy Grandmother this weekend and got her all washed up and ironed. Now to take her to the frame shop..... Oh, and I started the little freebie "Bloom where you're planted" project that goes with Summer Garden and am already almost 1/2 done with it. Gee, that...

Moving up on my to do list is starting some ribbon embroidery projects. My favorite magazines, Classic Stitches and Inspiration, have several designs that I want to try. I've also accumulated several books, including Di van Niekerk's Ribbon Embroidery and Stumpwork. Despite having not done any...

I was looking for replacement bulbs for the porch lamp and I spotted the "OTT Plant Lamp" and "OTT Natural Light Grow" bulbs. I think I've just found myself a portable Ott Lamp and at a bargain price (compared to the craft stores). C

Hi all, You may or may not remember back when I worked on the Indian chief for my sister. Well, she's here and has it with her and she's gotten a lot done since I fixed it for her. I had a brilliant thought today: redo the headband with beads. I proposed this to her and there was a long silence...

I'm a beginner crocheter. I starting teaching myself a year ago through the use of books and the internet. The extent of my creations are baby blanket, booties, hat & mittens, various snowflake ornaments using thread. I'm currently crocheting a winter hat. It has a band along the bottom of sc...

I found a link to this magazine and would love to get information about ordering the penguins across the top - does anyone speak Dutch well enough to help me (or know where I can get this pattern)? http://www.borduurblad.nl/index.php?id=1068 I tried Babelfish, but the translation was poor. I...

I've just taken one of my UFOs out of hiding, and the white seems to have gone from white to beige, and I hadn't finished all of it before putting it away. So now the thread I have left is white, but the other areas are beige. Is there anything I can try, or will I have to unpick the white areas...

Hi, all, I am always looking for new and better ways to store fibers (I use file-a-floss) and came across this new system tonight, "Annie's Keepers". I am not sure it would be right for me, because I don't like to cut the floss all to length, but it might work out well for those of you who use...

It's getting to be that time again. My newspaper is running a "Pimp your Peeps" contest. http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20090306/PROMO/90306029&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL Think I could set up a needlework and yarn shop with my peeps? Wouldn't it be a hoot? Di
