OT Help for Hot Pets during the heatwave. by xray_momma
I have seen this idea at work at a couple of fairs that we have during the summer. Fill a large plastic bottle with water and freeze it. Place where the pets lie and they will lie against it to keep cool. You can use a two liter soda bottle, a water bottle, or what ever you have on hand. You...

First of all, Seanette, Mistress of Rayon Thread, I'm working on my first project with rayon thread and am not finding it too difficult to deal with. The only thing is the cross stitches don't look uniform like I'm used to with cotton floss. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong. I was...

St. Claire as I imagine her by Ceredwynn \(remove the bad robot to reply\)
