TiaMary couldn't find Netscape 7.2 for her new computer, and called me in. I found it, but I also found that they're steering away from it, so if you're a big Netscape aficionado (like she is), here's your warning to burn it to disk so you have it ever more, because some day you may not be...

How would you use a choker length strand of huge, ivory tone, fake pearls to embellish the project of your choice? Must include stitching, but the rest is up to you! I found some old necklaces from when obviously fake pearls were in style. At some point, I re-used the clasps, leaving just the...
