Well, as I told you....my hB is 87. Far too low. But take it easy and stay on your seats. Nothing to panic. Nothing to panic. I have to eat Vitamin B and Fe+ to make that mess OK again. In the mornings I am dizzy and tired but after I get myself going, it is easier. Still I must take it easy. And...

Ok - DD and I walked in yesterday after school, she took off all her snow gear after school and we had lunch. Didn't leave the house again. This AM, we can not find her snow pants. She went off in the back up pair, but I can't find the original set. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 4 cups of coffee has not...

Just curious... is there any logic to the dmc embroidery floss numbering? I'm currently trying to get the entire collection and can't help but be fustrated at the randomness of the numbering. I can understand not numbering by color, as you never know how many shades you'll wind up with, but it...

Hi, I have been searching ebay and all other imaginable places for the April 1985 issue of McCall's Needlework & Crafts. There is an article/advertisement in it that I would like . Does anyone have a copy that they are not emotionally attached to? Signe

Hi Guys, I know there are a few here who are in the process of learning to use a sewing machine so thought I would share this trick. I did some decorative machine sewing on some long sleeved knit turtleneck tops for the SMDGD today and used this trick to "fancy up" the store bought stuff. I did a...

There really were some 'good old days'. Sharon (N.B.) ............................................................................. ... According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's or even the early 80's, probably shouldn't have...

The stitching is finished on Big Bird but it isn't washed, pressed, or framed. I didn't get the rug frame brought up from the basement so no progress on Dancing Snoopy but I did find all the materials for it. Lots of unpacking and arranging was done in the house. I have started Christmas shopping...

Where could I find a list of DMC Floss by color family...Thanks in advance for any suggestions.... Judy from Massachsetts

I have been working on this 18-count Painted Bunting handpainted canvas needlepoint for nearly a year now-- it's a present for my mother and it's quite beautiful but difficult to see. Anyway, I have now reached the tipping point where I realize if I work on it somewhat diligently, I could finish...

I must confess I have not practised any stitches but ½ xs. It is the only stitch I can make. I could try whole X's too. That canvas with small holes...I do not dare to try with that. Must try with the canvas of bigger holes. Am not so good to explain, I should show you. Best: Pirjo

Once Dad brought me a pizza from local pizzeria. I liked it a lot. It was...meat thing...smashed meat or something like that. Anyway...the number of that pizza type was 8. So whenever I wanted pizza, I just said to Dad: "Throw me an eight". I could say the same about the canvas thing. ZA-8 would be...

I know that just the term "Penelope canvas" says nothing in your world. But maybe these pics help you. http://www.willowfabrics.com/acatalog/Penelope_in_Various_counts.html Take a look of canvas pics. Two first ones, Antique 8 and Antique 9 holes are the ones I have used to stitch. They are easy...

http://www.stitching.com/npg/penelope.htm That picture shows you the only canvas type I have ever used. I am able to see the holes better. Sounds crazy, I know...but I just am not used but this type. And the big-hole version. Must send sometimes a project to someone in RCTN and you will see how...

Hi, Are there two fibers, opalescent and opalescence? I have a stitch guide which implies that the fiber needed cal be plied, but the thread my LNS sells cannot be, and so I got to wondering if there are two similarly named fibers? If so, who manufactures each and does anyone have a source for...

"Lord, I have a problem." "What's the problem, Eve?" "I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy. "And why is that Eve?" "Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of...
