Hi the Just thought I'd add my comment/opinion here regarding the latest rant/rave. I'm one of the people who doesn't have a clue about the situation at hand. It seems that some people here have been very "hurt" and "disappointed" by someone from this newsgroup....a very unfortunately...

Well, now that I'm here I am going to ask tons of questions! :-) The granny square is the easiest crocheted square, right? Well, I must admit I cannot do it. For some reason it gets all crumpled, not flat as it should be. Please - does someone have directions that work? I tried some from...

Hi, Mirjam came up with the idea of the postcards (which I think is a good one and I'm starting to do that). What do you think of a photo of each of us? Then we could put a face to the name? Just a thought. -- Star love, Norma

I'm of course going to finish the one I'm doing, but would love to surprise her with both! This was spotted on ebay,...

I'm going off-line for the time being. I'm pursuing an old crafting hobby that I used to immensely enjoy. I'm also vacationing from the uproar I apparently caused with my rant and vent post. Apologies. Noreen (off-line means I not only won't be HERE, I won't be checking email either.)

Hi everyone Just wanted to touch base with you all and catch up on my obligations. I hope Jenn receives her package soon and one went off to Nora as well so please keep an eye out, Nora. OT bit: The last week has been like a horrible limbo- Dsis was lavished with attention in hospital and her...

Hi SpikeDriver, I just put your squares in the mail this morning. Your friend, Nora

I'm laughing out loud at all the sharp-eyed spinners who immediately noticed that the treadle-plate on my wheel is apparently 'MIA (missing in action) ... YES... it IS! It 'was' 3/8 inch mahogany plywood, and Don couldn't STAND it... so... he is getting some nice wood and going to make a...

Good morning Myka, your parcel went yesterday in the mail, by airmail. Because we were rushed by an impatient little girl who wanted to go to the beach, there is a not properly started kumihimo kit enclosed. If you have problems with it.....call Skye.....she was the cause of it all......sorry only...
