My day - stitching comes next by Cheryl Isaak
I washed, as in hands and knees, the kitchen and down stairs bath floors. Emptied and refilled, twice, the dishwasher and made tacos for dinner. Also spent about 2 hours working on the extended bed for the planned move of the sand cherry. And the house is quiet, DS is on his way to his game, DH...

OT - Spring Awakening by ellice
Well- I feel compelled to share this. Last night we saw this show at Ken Ctr - Spring Awakening. Absolutely fabulous - we actually got up for a standing ovation - that was well deserved. And, we met a transplanted Canadian friend - who of course we know 'cause he's a hockey coach. It was no...

1000 more down by Donna D.
Well I got to sit in my garden and stitch for hours. What a day. Checked my stitches with my magnifier so nothing is off this time. Unfortunately 1000 stitches didn't make a dent in to this picture. I don't usually count stitches for that reason. I swore off large projects but the 3 I have are...

I found MECCA today, Long, but on topic. by Gillian Murray
This morning DH and I wandered, a bit late, to a local neighborhood, who had their annual yard sale. I found a few cheap charts at a dine each, and Jim found some electronic goobahs. Oh, yes, I forgot. I found a Cuisinart ice-cream maker for $10. The lady swore it worked great with Splenda, so...

OT, but would appreciate input Warranties etc, maybe revisited. by Gillian Murray
Don't remember if it was this group or the RV group where we discussed extra warranties. Our new Kenmore frig/freezer, delivered yesterday from Sears has the usual warranty. They are "pushing" a $65/pa program where they come out annually to do maintenance ( apparently the cooling fans...

Hello fellow stitchers, It has been a few years since Venus brand thread came onto the market. Has anybody had the chance to check the back of work done with this thread to let us all know how light fast the dyes really are? I am especially interested in the green shades, to substitute...

I said I never would again, but....caved to x-stitch by Kalmia
I saw it in a gift shop - two pink lady slippers* with a deep green border. Should do up in about a week. I WILL omit the words "Lady Slippers" tho at the bottom, hence saving time and floss. (I hate writing on a piece of needlework, kitchen caddies and the like). Should look good in my guest...

It's Official!!! by anne
I am now a card carrying member of the prestigious UFO club. UFO 1 -- I took a silk and metal class with Kay Stanis at a recent seminar. It's unlikely that I'll ever finish it -- the silk is really hard to work with. UFO 2 -- Verana, a Brazilian embroidery design -- I have just one flower to...
