First of all, Seanette, Mistress of Rayon Thread, I'm working on my first project with rayon thread and am not finding it too difficult to deal with. The only thing is the cross stitches don't look uniform like I'm used to with cotton floss. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong. I was...

I have gone rag quilt crazy. I've gotten about 500 squares cut and ready to start putting together. Here is my question, when you sew the squares all together what do you do at the corners? I.e. sew the seams open? Stop and don't overlap the seams? Sew the seams all one way? Please let me...

I have only gotten 5 new postings in 3 days!!! What is wrong? Joanie

I have seen this idea at work at a couple of fairs that we have during the summer. Fill a large plastic bottle with water and freeze it. Place where the pets lie and they will lie against it to keep cool. You can use a two liter soda bottle, a water bottle, or what ever you have on hand. You...

"somebody" wrote in message ... Several years ago, I saw in book about samplers a chart for a "Perpetual Almanack" that was in fact a l00-year calendar. By looking up a year and a month, you could use a key letter to learn...

My son turned his calf into hamburger on the soccer field yesterday and I finally convinced him this evening to bandage it. I pulled out my handy-dandy new first aid kit with the soft sides, zippered closure and 3 ring binder full of plastic sheets with pockets for first aid supplies and...

I know that this has been an on again off again topic here, but here's one more question about it. I'm currently working on the Blackwork Dragon, by Dragon Dreams. My DH likes it so much he would me to mirror image it so that we can put it on either side of the fireplace. Do I need to contact the...

The McDonaldization of a Haircut Based on the book "The McDonaldization of Society", George Ritzer states that hair salons are not able to achieve the predictability of a McDonaldized society, due to idiosyncrasies of each customer and hair stylist, as no two are alike. He also states that...

Hi--I have noticed that when I click onto rctn I am only getting 7--15 posts a day--surely there are more than that! In options I have checked download 400--it was 300, but I notice no difference. What can I do to get more? Should I clear the previous messages and would that make a difference?...

Just found the colors, on http://iranscope.ghandchi.com/Fun/colors.htm They list 39 (!) time spans, and also have a key to your nature that that lists fewer colors. Presumably, if your color isn't there, you're a nonentity. Felice

I bought a tightlace Victorian boned corset. I wonder if anyone can tell me where to get or buy a patern or paterns and materials to make my own corset. Im quite a good seamstress. Probably wouldnt be easy. But I would like to try and make my own corsets. Thanks Joanna Maguire

The AFARR is in transit to Minnesota. I've updated the web site to show the letters that have been stitched. There's an automated slideshow that goes through the individual letters (you don't have to click to get the next one; just be patient) or you can click on them individually. Beth...

Hi the I saw this wonderful sampler somewhere on the web, and now I can't remember where, or who makes it. It was a traditional looking sampler that was a tribute to a son. It said something like, at the end of my life when God asks what good I did, I can say I had a son. Does that ring any...

How did you folk get on during the recent huge power outages? I bet the worst problem to those at home was not having the fans and air conditioning going! We`ve been warned to expect power/gas otages if we have a hard winter - so I`ll check on my camping gas stoves and lamps and candles I...
