More another time, but had a great day and evening with Bobbie V, Evelyn, Margaret and a lurker who should identify herself, even if only to send me an email. She was at our table last night for the Saturday evening event. Got to meet some folks from another list I'm on - nice to put faces...

They have a notched closure on them; they are not the rings that come with key chains that you have pry apart then slide the key all the way around to put it on the ring. I would like to buy...

Just got a note via a yahoo group - Jean Hilton has passed away. I have several of her designs in stash, but never worked up the nerve. I'll send my condolences to her family. Cheryl

Has anyone else done something as dopey as what I just did? I decided to make the SAL into a Biscornu, or a pincushion for the older folk like me. If I must say so myself, it came out rather nice. The stupid part was when I went to sew the button into the center to give it shape, I found it...

Last fall my DH said he would buy me a tree for our lot as my birthday present. (I've been slowly getting stuff, but it's a large enough lot that it can take lots of stuff.) So today was the day we were going to pick out the tree. Came home with 3 Dwarf Burning Bushes, two Blue Rug Junipers,...

Hi, been looking for some new support gloves (my oldest DD has "borrowed" mine, not likely to get them back since they're in her room somewhere! :-) anyway, I thought I had seen a pair that was black and blue zebra-like stripes and another color in one of my needlework and/or yarn catelogs but...

The other day I was watching the SCIFI channel when I lost the picture and sound. Almost immediately, QVC (a shopping channel) came on with tornado warnings for nearby counties scrawling across the top of the screen. While the storm information was scrolling, I wasn't able to change the...

OMG - I will never make this mistake again. I had an interview with a temp agency yesterday, so I wore the dressy flats. And didn't throw the sneakers in the car or go home and change before doing the errands. Nor did I wear my arch support orthodics. Never ever - I walked all of the renovated...
