Well, I'll stitch today by
Cheryl Isaak
It is a no school, snow day here in NH. I'm planning on laying low. Don't
know if HS practice is cancelled for DS. I'm waiting to see if DD's practice
is cancelled - I'll make a judgment call around 4:30 on her. DS's is very
close by, so getting there, even if it takes the double the usual time,...

Thank you, Sheena! by
[email protected]
Oh, lovely snow. It's hock high in the back yard and Cash is loving
it. DH, two of the tenants and I have already shoveled two houses
worth, but I expect we'll be shoveling again later.
I just love the smell of the air during/after a snow storm. It's very
windy out the skylights on the ocean...

OT (sort of) - glaze alternative by
anne
None of the local stores carry any face cabochons that could be used on my
beaded and embroidery embellished dolls. Finished cabs can be bought on ebay
and etsy but it's hard to tell what size they are. Despite not wanting to stock
up on more craft items that might be used once or twice, armed...

JIm had his 70th birthday last Saturday, and received nice gifts from
me. Well, yesterday the surprise gift arrived. I got him the newly

old DMC charts by
Charlene Charette
Back in 1998 DMC produced a series of charts inspired by items in the
Bodleian Library. The charts we Greyhound; My Lady; Gold Leaf; Venice.
I've spent some with Google to no luck. Does anyone know of a source
that might have these?
TIA,

OFF TOPIC - advice needed by
Cheryl Isaak
Or maybe not
OK - back story. For what every, mildly insane reason, DD has agreed to
arrive at school tomorrow "looking like a girl" not a girl in boys clothes.
(BTW, that is an accurate way to describe her preferred dress)
The "rules" something other than a t-shirt, hair in something other than...

Magazine recommendations by
anne
One of my magazine subscriptions has run out and much as I like looking through
it, I rarely do any of the projects. So, I'm looking for more eye candy -- a
magazine that does more than cross stitch or no cross stitch, preferably
published in N. America (overeas mail tends to get lost sigh)

Use of symbol count on patterns. by
F.James Cripwell
When I got my latest UFO, I looked at the symbols, and recognized that
the pattern was created using Pattern Maker. That being so, then the
author of the pattern had to have a symbol count. The lady who
wants the stiching done had the floss on cards; just a small amount of
each color. She told...

Sheena Put A Hex On Me by
Sharon
Well Sheena's hex finally worked - we got close to 52 cm of snow
overnight - it stopped for about half an hour and it's snowing again.
My sister and a few of her galpals left for the Dominican this morning

out!! :-))

What have I missed? by
10fifteen
Hi there! I was a member of this group in the mid-90's until my
daughter was born in 2000.
This group taught me SO much, but now I'm a bit lost.
Are there any links to FAQs as I've forgotten many of the
abbreviations, etc.?
I also just started a cross stitch blog and I was hoping to get back

Do any of our Australian readers know of a website or retail source
for Primke threads?
