So, not wanting to rant, but thought I'd share this bizarre experience (since so many of you have privately contacted me about the job search, new job, etc.). Well, at the end of my 4th week - I was laid off. Here's the bizarre thing: "I really, really like you and hate to do this, but, I'm...

'cause I'm striking out.... I can find short and I can find fine enough for the Mill Hill petites, but not both except the needle that can in the Mill Hill kit.... I either need miles of floss to use the longer needles or have to keep switching needles. Cheryl

My vet called tonight, totally astonished that an afterthought skin sample she took from my dog's foot while biopsying her ear for a possible immune syndome showed a "particularly ugly" form of cancer. My dear Emma, possibly the sweetest dog that ever lived, has maybe 4 months to live. It...

I just wanted to say thanks to everybody who offered advice and ideas about what an LNS should offer. I've been out of touch this week because DS was off school two days with a high fever, and then the internet connection went out, and required a service call. Everything, including DS, is now up...

Hi everyone! I'm interested in knowing how many of you work with the rotation system. Does it really work. I have 3 projects on the go and would like to start another without the guilt. ( big grins!) How do you do it???

Last spring I had written for help in planning the chuppah I was to stitch for my dd's November wedding. Well, I am finally almost finished. Does anyone know how best to fasten this to the poles? Would the cross stitch fabric (a polyester blend) be strong enough for gromets?

I've had a poke and might go back and try for a few of the door prizes. Cheryl

Hello. I am new here. I live in Rhode Island. Does anyone know where I can purchase Burnet's Glow-In-The_Dark yarn or any other brand of Glow-In-The-Dark yarn??? I have been searching everywhere since I found out they make it. It would be awesome for the witch candy dish I am making with...

I *may* be the only stitcher in the world who almost always has just one project going at a time. How many projects do you currently have started? How long does it typically take you to finish a project? How many projects are in your queue waiting their turn? -- another anne, add ingers to...

I was asked the other day what I would like to see in the stitching section of a local, independent craft shop. I know what I'd like to see, and I wondered what others would find most important. So, if you could design a stitchery shop or department, what would you insist it offer, in the way of...

I finally finished my adaptation of the stamped cross stitch kit to surface embroidery. Adding the cross stitched roses was a bit of a challenge as the fabric wanted to fray. It was a fun experiment and am pleased with how it turned out. Thanks again to everyone for the...

I was just notified that Comcast is canceling newsgroups as of next month. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive provider that gives great service. Damn them! Lucille

I was in my Michael's this weekend looking for some floss and saw they were clearing even MORE out of the needlework section - so I asked what's up? They are downsizing it - sounds like it's going to ultimately be one short aisle with everything - floss, hoops, needles and kits. Not that what...
