Hi the Thanks for you input on the fringes. Umm my daughter has already given her desired length of the fringes lol! She wants the afghan for her bed immediately so whatever yarn i have left at the moment can "all" be taken up with fringes grin. Of course she is joking....i hope! I've put...

Hi everyone: Well...hmmm....finished objects for January...."none"! If you count, babysitting my 14 yr old for the past 2 months with her unknown illness, I think I have finished that lol! We sent her back to school full time once again and hopefully this time she'll be okay. The doctor did full...

Hi the I joined an advanced knitting group which meets on a Tuesday evening. We all work on a project of our choice, I picked an afghan from Patons "Textured Afghans" book. It's not complicated but very time consuming and interesting as every row is different. One of the strips has "anchors" on...

.......all for the Anniversary wishes! Today, October 15, 2004 marked our 21st anniversary. This past week has been a vacation week for DH so we have been able to spend a lot of time together. He's helped out a lot with the meals, clean-up and with our nearly 3 yr old daughter Amy, and of course...

.....the Sewing and Needlework Festival that is coming to Toronto next week. I have never attended and wondered if anyone in the area had previously. I'm trying to make a decision on whether it would be a worthwhile trek to Toronto for it. I understand there are hands on seminars and items to...

Hi the I was part of the previous list and would like to be added to the new one. I've read some of the posts and still not sure if "particulars" are being added ....I don't mind. Let me know if that info is required for now I"ll just include.... Donna St. Catharines (near Niagara Falls),...

Hi everyone: I am "finally" on my last steps of my daughters shades of blue afghan. She has requested that I put fringes on the points across either end. I'd be interested to have some input as to how long I should make those fringes. I personally don't like them on an afghan but she insists....

Hi the Okay I'm calm lmao! The furnace guy was here by 2:30 pm...what a sweetheart. We knew the blower motor was going and did as he instructed us last yr...wait til it breaks then fix it! We got nearly an entire yr. out of it. So we were happy about that. As I mentioned to him "Merry...

Hi the I picked up a pattern for a hat that I'd like to make for my little one. The pattern size is for a 2-3 yr old. Since my daughter has not yet broken the 20 pound mark, only a few ounces gained since last September (yes the pediatrician is looking at her), I need to downsize the pattern...

Hi the Thanks for the responses. Now why didn't I think of measuring her head! The doctor just did that this past Thursday and I was so busy trying to keep her calm that I forgot to ask (the little gal doesn't like the "doctor man"). And yes you're right...she "is" going to grow, it's just a...

Hi the Just wondered if any other fellow Canadians are experiencing any effects of Isabel yet? I"m in St. Catharines, about 15 min. outside of Niagara Falls . We really haven't seen anything yet, it is breezy and raining off and on. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has experienced...

Hi the Join the club, we have been bothered with this stuff for over a month now. It's so frustrating!!! Every time someone gets on this computer we download all the mail. If we were to do it only once a day we'd be up to 200 messages of which maybe only 2 or 3 are legit mail for someone in our...

Hi everyone: Wheww at last I am back online and able to read the posts here. My 16 yr old had the wonderful idea of disconnecting something at the back of our computer (please don't ask for details lol) and while completing that task, let the cpu slip about 3 inches off of our computer...

Hi everyone: Hmmm, my husband must have sent that post. I tried sending it and for some reason it was sitting in the outbox. Not being a "computer whiz" I just let it sit there and asked him to take care of it lol! Anyway, thanks for the answers/hints, I was just curious. At the moment I"m doing...

Hi the Hmmm, I'm wondering and even asked......."Rob....who you been kissing"? lol! And even funnier, when I took him to the docs today to follow up on the lab results which were positive, the doc asked if he'd had any g/f within the last year LMAO! Aside from the tales of the "kissing...

Hi everyone: What a bad day this has turned out to be...yikes. As you know DS had mono a few weeks ago, he's recovered rather well. Now DD1 has been weak and tired for a while so off to the docs we went today. She's missed the last 2 weeks of school, trying to hit a few classes here and there...

Hi Noreen: Geesh, must be my server, I missed your trivia post. I can't imagine it being mindless though! If I were you I'd chalk it up to...."to each his/her own"! Wishing you all the best. Donna from Ontario, Canada
