Well, I got up this morning to let out my Westie pups who measure 15". I opened the door to the deck to 16" of snow! Plus they are white pups! Well, I did the only smart thing to do in a case like this - I woke up my DH to shovel the deck! So, we have about 16" on the ground and the snow is...

I did one finally. I bought a yard of Timtex while on a shop hop with my SIL about 5 months ago, and today it yelled at me to make it. I think the thing that took me the longest was finding where I put my book!:) I did the square one, but then I cut off a triangle off each corner and ended up with...

I've started working on a kit got for my birthday a year and a half ago. Here's the picture. http://www.creativecurves.com/wwhirlpool.htm I cut all the pieces out quite a while ago, and after that it was going to be a while before I felt like working with it again. But today was the day! It will...

Okay, we were home from the hospital less than 24 hrs. when we realized no water of any kind from any where would go down the drains. And it was Sat. morning. Daughter and SIL worked on it all day to no avail. Two rooms at the motel. Sun. same thing. Monday we got a plumber over here, and now...

I'm all signed up with new.individual.net and can read newsgroups! I downloaded Forte-agent & didn't like it nearly as well as Outlook Express. Sure is nice not to have to use my dialup anymore to read newsgroups. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. -- Donna Aten, Coordinator Project Linus -...

Saw some fabric the other day in Walmart, and thought about non-stop for a day or two. Bought the whole bolt today. 7 yards and a smidge of beautiful blue and white swirly smudgy batik with gold stamping on it. Once we move into our house (mid Feb at this point), and I find my directions, it...

Many of y'all have heard me tell of DH's Nightmare Quilt. Yup my First Big Quilt (third one ever). He chose it and it is FULL of curves. He chose the fabric (a variety of quality but nice colours). He keeps encouraging (read - nagging). And I keep saying how much I hate it (and I do) as it...

There are some tulips and leaves dancing across the quilt in progress. They called for a buttonhole / blanket / appliqué stitch around the edges. Swell. Do you have any idea how many points a @#$! tulip has and how hard it is to pivot all those points? Naturally, I decided that the embroidery...

I just got a message from AOL that all the AOL newsgroups will be closing soon. I reach this group through an AOL link, but I see others who post who are not on AOL. Can anyone explain how to access this group from other browsers? I just reappeared and would hate to disappear so soon....

I'm taking a break before tackling the last part of a project. DD's friend called me yesterday to ask if I could hem some dance pants for her. Sewing buttons and hemming pants...some of the most practical sewing projects but I put them off as often as possible. It must be my "time" though. DH...
