Well, my foot surgery is a week old today. I had a huge pressure bandage on for a week that was very heavy. It came off today and I got a good look at the work he did ---not good quilting stitches by a long shot, but good for intended purpose. Wow, is my foot cut up, including a screw in my...

A few weeks ago I was making a bunch of tablerunners using June Tailor fusible batting. On one of them there was a long line of glue and 2 dots of hard glue that came through to the front of the runner. I washed it 5 different times in cold water as in their directions---in between soaking...

There was a sad article in our paper today. A lady lost her young cat due to it's eating a small piece of a lilly that was in a bouquet. Seems all lillies are extremely toxic to cats, causing complete kidney failure in a very short time, with no way to reverse it. The flower shops in this...

For those using them, where do you find clear envelopes for mailing embellished postcards? I found one source on the web, but you have to buy in batches of 100. I won't live long enough to use that many! -- Gen http://community.webshots.com/user/Coren920

Thanks Leslie for telling us about your new carpet cleaner. My old one wasn't doing such a great job, so I bought the Bissell. Love it. To test it, I vacuumed with the Dyson pet vac, and thought I'd picked up a lot of cat hair..Oh my, guess not. The Bissell got up loads of hair immediately...
