Long day at work yesterday, could reach the DH to see if he would come meet me at Panera - I'd have the supper I forgot to bring and he's have his latte. Since the line was busy from 6:45 (45 minutes before my end of shift) to walking out the door, I grabbed Taco Bell and ate and drove. (Not...

A number of years ago I started a stamped cross stitch kit and soon learned I didn't like doing stamped cross stitch. I pulled it out of my UFO pile and frogged the stitching intending to redo it. I still don't like stamped cross stitch so I was thinking of other ways to stitch this pattern. ...

I decided to cut em in half, stitch the rough edge and use em as dish towels. They all have a small hole or stain, I never cover bureaus, and will NOT pay today's prices for a linen dish towel. I had posted here a while back about converting them to napkins, but I just know they would look very...

Not to clean your carpet or run your car, but as an alternative to an iron? Which one did you buy and do you like it? Cheryl

I have only used DMC embroidery floss and have often seen overdyed thread mentioned here. Would someone please explain what an overdyed thread is and how, why and when it is used. Also how to clean. Thank you LyndaT (from BC)

Thanks to a few helpful email pals, I pulled a few colors to start my Jacobean-style embroidery piece. I have so many 'started' projects now...but this one has been calling me for some time now. ;) Pictures...

My local Michael's is apparently doing a major clean up (out?) of their needlework section. A lot of the Dimensions Gold and Dolly Mama kits are half price, as well as a lot of other things. If anyone really wants one of these, LMK and I'll see if it's one their clearing out and maybe we can work...

I wondered if anyone had some old stock of J&P Coats embroidery thread to trade. I need several colors to finish an old project. I'd be happy to trade another floss brand for it (ie DMC/Anchor, etc). I just need one skein of each of the following colors: 2296 2335 5395 6021

For my Nativity set, I'm thinking of doing the sheep and camels with fuzzy threads. The sheep have 5 colors in their bodies (I can do faces/legs with regular floss). The colors are the beige/gray ones (DMC white, 644,642, 822, & 3781). There aren't enough colors in Wisper to do this. The camels...

DH's aunt Priscilla is moving to Florida from New York state. She is an ardent golfer ( just plays 9 holes now, not 18 and no longer championship courses)). It is her passion, along with bridge. She is the only family member for whom I have made nothing. Does anyone know of a "tasteful"...

I mentioned NeedleDelights the other day. Aside from my frequent contact with Kathy there, the shop is a mile or two from an old friend who keeps me updated on their weather. According to my friend, Fay is scheduled to hit Pensacola on Saturday, packing much the same that Lucille got earlier...
