Stepped out of the shower a little bit ago and the cat gave me such a look! Started sniffing along my bare leg and doing that dance back and go ew! cat thing. Sort of a "Oh my Gosh! You are all pink and ickeeee! Go put on some fur!" moment. NightMist

Dear all! It took me a few months to finish hand-quilting my Storm at Sea quilt called Water & Sun, and then it took another few days to update my homepage, and now another hour to come here via Google Groups (good thing I saved Irene's post of last February telling how to access RCTQ now, after...

Hey!! Just had to share my excitement! Those of you who live in Indiana will know what I am talking about, probably, but I will explain a little for those who don't, and for those who don't know me. I love wolves. I collect figurines and books, just about anything that has a wolf on it. When we...
