So, just thought I'd share a small whine. After waiting 3 weeks for the "formal offer from HR" - once again - no job. The very nice HR chief sent me an e-mail - essentially saying that their corporate HQ in Germany has told them to hold off on new hires until after the 1st quarter. But...

Rather like O.J. Simpson, the 'bushy haired stranger' who according to her had done it never materialized. Suppose it was the same bushy haired man that Dr Sam Shepard (the inspiration for The Fugitive) saw in his house the night his wife was killed? Caryn Blue Wizard Designs

I purchased the pattern and materials for Chatelaine's Egyptian Gardens Mandala (beware - the threads and beads are very, very expensive), and thought - why don't I see how they show against some evenly woven silk material I have? SO - I tried them out on a pale tan material. They, of course,...

I would like to make embroidered versions of some selected famous oil paintings but I have no idea weather people like this kind of art style or not. Does anyone have any ideas about it? We did make some of silk embroidery paintings that you can view them at http://EmbroideryArtwork.com. Thanks.

So, long story short - I fell off my motorcycle two weeks ago. Thank goodness for full riding suit with padding, full-coverage helmet, boots and gloves. Ended up with two broken ribs (healing nicely) and two broken metatarsals in my left hand. I had surgery on the hand last Friday and it will...

Hi to the group Other than breaking out in an allergic rash all over my arms I had a very good time. In the Shaker Sampler Class, Betsy Stinner did an awesome job. She gave a great lecture on the history of the Shakers and in between she showed us how to do the stitches and the kit is full of silk...

The authoress also sent me a sample of the cotton thread (like fine string) used (a small ball) and a rather generous piece of the fabric (undyed coarse linen) with sample stitches already done in one corner! I am so pleased that I just...

How does one balance all the demands on...

A retail friend let me know that she received spam from me. Well, I didn't send it. So, anybody else that is getting it: it's not from me. We've just had this conversation here at RCTN not too long ago when Classic Stitches (I think it was) had the same thing happen. So don't get your dander...
