tribe, "Papa, why is it that we always have long names, while the white
men have shorter names like Bill, Tex or Sam, for example?"
His father replied, "Look son, our names represent a symbol, a sign, or
a poem for our culture -...

OT - more on children by
Bruce
We don't have any children but we have encountered (and endured) other
people's children so these five short items rang true:
1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and
talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
2. Grandchildren are...

Double Happy Dance by
Twinsmom
Not only did the kids start back to school within the last week, but I
also finished Marbek's Garden Angel, which I had been doing for my
11-year-old daughter! Finally! :-) She has it gently tacked to her
bedroom wall (at the edge of the fabric so it won't bother the stitched
area) while she...

EAC Mystery Project by
Jeanine3
Anyone doing this? I had lots of fun over the weekend using lots of
specialty fibres that I had bought previously for other projects. It
looks very pretty. I guess I had too much fun, 'cause I'm done all the
stitches and have three long months to wait to go any further!

How to create beaded edges by
Kathy Fielder
I've seen ornaments finished with a beaded edge instead of cording. Some
have a single strand of beads attached to the perimeter of the ornament
while others have what I can best describe as a jumble of beads around the
perimeter. The single strands of beads appear to be seed beads and...
