Just came back from my sort of LNS - it's a specialty interior design store that carries a section of XS stuff, including fabrics and overdyes. They are talking about scaling back significantly. Not as much interest in XS - had a sale after market, 20% off all XS items - probably only had 8...

My husband Frank and I, invite all to join us in this friendly club. We not only can help you make loads of extra cash but also find a great way of making new friends with whom you can holiday etc... Nothing kinky please, we are clean fun loving family with children wishing to meet friendly and...

I took my dd to Topeka, Kansas this weekend for a swim meet and we had some down time between sessions. So, being the thoroughly addicted stitcher that I am, picked up a phone book to find out if there were any LNS. Found one call The Sunflower Seed. While there, found she had a basket full of...

Santa was very upset. It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right! Mrs. Claus had burned all the cookiest then told him that her mother was coming to stay over Christmas. The elves were complaining about not getting paid for the overtime they had while making the toys. The reindeer...

The thread on what we are stitching makes me want to dig into my floss boxes, but right now I'm having trouble finding things - I still can't find the ornament I was working on before we moved on Dec. 1. The move to the new house went fairly smoothly, especially since we are about 120 miles...

Go to Michaels this week, buy one item. You'll get a 20% off the total coupon to use next week. Wish I'd known that before I checked out, because a lot of what I bought today really could have waited till I got the discount. -- Karen C - California Editor/Proofreader...

A very dear male friend of mine will be turning 80 the first part of May. I just have to get him *something* for this big day. He's a real jokester, reaaally appreciates the ladies, loves music and dancing and eating and just plain having fun. He doesn't live near me either so whatever I get...

I just finished The Sempster's Tale - the latest Dame Frevisse book. Lots of lovely details about period embroidery. Cheryl

Several years ago, when I re-located a childhood friend, I found a fridge magnet with a saying to the effect that "true friends can meet years later and pick up right where they left off". I have just re-located another old friend. Does anyone know of a chart with a similar sentiment? -- Karen C...

Hi all - The Michael's Craft Store in Canton Ohio is closing. All items are 50% off right now. Their DMC is priced at .29 and DMC linen at $1.29. Thay have plenty of kits - as a matter of fact an entire aisle. I took the kids and found many other art items. We walked out with over $250...

A friend of mine asked me about a Janome sewing machine. He wants it for mending and learning to sew and he found one for a great price. I don't know anything about the brand. Can anyone help? This is a page from their website with the machine. It is the JS1008. Judy

I got to meet up with MajMoxie/Donna yesterday. She recently moved to about 45 mins from me, and yesterday we got together to go to The Stitching Post in Baltimore. Fun was had by both, we got along wonderfully! I got Mirabilia's "Mermaids of the Deep Blue" and the fabric and braid for it. Also...

Okay, I threw together page on my web site that has pictures of a few of the projects I have completed. As I can't find photos for most of them I have sent emails out to my friends and family begging them to send me photos of the things I have stitched for them! I'm so unorganized! Go...

I have been trying (it seems forever!) to buy listed books available on this subject at Amazon.com. They have the book OK (3 copies n fact) but all second hand. The second-hand sellers will not sell to me in New Zealand because I have an international address. I would like to get this book if...

that is the question g It's true that strands seem to lie flatter if stripped and then combined for most stitches especially if one is careful when laying down the stitch ;-) Is there any advantage or reason to strip floss if one is going to do colonial or french knots or bullions? -- another...

I have received some clarification regarding Stefania from Italy and wanted to post it for those who "know" her. She is alive and well grin without internet access but still very involved with stitching. She *is* collaborating with the Italian needlework magazine RAKAM but is *NOT* doing the...

Does anyone know where to find African American charts for free. I tried green apple as suggested but there where not any free ones. Also I am looking for sea shells or the ocean theme patterns. I am redecorating my bathroom and would like to add my own special touches.Thank you
