A friend is getting married today, so I made this! Finished it today after I took these pictures and realized I left the "tree trunks" by the church off!!! Good thing I didn't frame it! http://image62.webshots.com/462/4/91/42/2593491420047371020tATMMC_fs.jpg --...

I have finished Lady Scarlet's Secret Garden. I should have pictures up shortly. It was an easy piece including the hand finishing. Now I need to do a thimble pod and find a ladybug thimble for it. That will make a nice display with the Ivory piano key measure and floss winder that are...

Can anyone tell me if framing is done the same way for all needlepoint? I am stitching a picture onto 32 ct. silk mesh and stitching with Eterna silk threads. Can this be safely 'stretched' and pinned like the work I do with D.M.C. cotton on Aida? I've worked so long on this one particular piece...

In my roamings through free charts, I found a cute ladybug! http://www.borduurblad.nl/?id=1072 --Mavis

I've just spent several hours frogging a whole lot of Eterna silk out of some 28 linen, and I need to whine! I couldn't decide whether to use 1 or 2 threads over 2, and I hadn't worked with Eterna before. So I did the first section, which was yellow, with 1 thread as a test. Looked fine to me! And...

Yesterday my Mom drove up from the Cape (of Cod) and brought a box of books and two of my baby blankets and some books for DD. In the box of books were some fishing books for Dson, some other random books for DH and some of my old books from high school and college. And some of my favorites from...

Why Females Should Avoid a 'Girls Night Out' After They are Married! The other night I was invited out for a night with 'the girls'. I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!' Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easy. Around 3 am, a bit...

I had the funniest experience in our local JoAnn's Fabrics Superstore this past weekend. In a Halloween card display at the front of the store, I saw an upper edge of a very colorful card that seemed to stand out from all the other cards. The card featured ghosts flying out of a haunted library...

A young minister in Kentucky, was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside service for a homeless man who had no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at A new cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be buried there. He wasn't familiar with the...

Had a wonderful visit with Cheryl this morning. We got a chance to catch up and share some tea and pastries. Cheryl was able to find some buttons for her projects in mom's excess (poke box). It is such a shame that life is so busy that friends have to see so little of each other....

The family (minus the sheltie) traveled to Fairborn, OH, this weekend for a second cousin's graduation. We are the only relatives on her mother's side of the family who live on this side of the Mississippi and are young/healthy enough to travel so we got to represent the whole extended family. ...

I'm always on the lookout for new projects, so I'm always checking out people's sigs (where they often list WIPs) and looking at older posts through Google. Quite a few times I saw people posting about a design called Amid Amish Life, and it sounded really interesting. I searched all over the net...

Here is a site that was definitely worth checking out at http://www.gabbyinc.biz!

Hi all I was on here quite a while back. I was going through Chemo. That's all behind me now except for the permanant side effects it left and all the pills I still have to take. Anyway, I opened a tiny needlework shop in the corner of a larger craft shop in October. Then they closed it the...

While we were away this last week....and with NO Internet to divert me, I finished RK Portfolio Coconut Palm. Now I have to start and finish the Date Palm to have the pair to take to the framer to go in the living room. They pick up the trim on the area rug on our tile floor. I am almost...
