A man is stranded in the desert and has not eaten or drunk anything for nearly 36 hours. He is about to die. Amazingly, as he stumbles through the sand, he comes to three market stalls. The man (half-thinking he must be hallucinating) approaches the first stall and demands, "I need water, sell...

Been too busy for more than the occasional glance, but are all these weird posts a new thing or have they been going on for a long time? (The intrusive nothing-to-do-with needlework-or-continuing- conversations ones). -- "Be who you are and say what you feel....Because those that...

So, long story short - I fell off my motorcycle two weeks ago. Thank goodness for full riding suit with padding, full-coverage helmet, boots and gloves. Ended up with two broken ribs (healing nicely) and two broken metatarsals in my left hand. I had surgery on the hand last Friday and it will...

The first of these Messengers was Nooh and the last of them was Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon...

The picture I wanted to be on the cover made it! It's a gingerbread house designed by Sharon Pope. I'm so excited that this piece made the cover (jumping up and down wildly in my mind because I'm at work and have to behave). Elizabeth (the editor) even mentioned me in her editor's column, One...

I think we need designers here. To hear our opinions of what we like in kits.floss fabrics. Dyan didn't advertise. Just added his opinion. That's what the group is for. I have been here along time. I usually lurk but I really enjoyed our kit topic and everyone's help with it. I didn't know the...

I have been working on Woodland Enchantress for a year. I have ran out of floss in every color at least one if not more. I wrote and received quickly, replacement floss but the chart is ripping and it was replaced once in the beginning since I like a working chart.So I found another kit cheap...

Hi Joyce, It's been a LOOONG time since we "spoke". I spoke of you recently on the cruise I took the first of this month. One of the young men taking photos was from Johannesburg and seeing his name tag made me think of you. I told him I had an internet friend who lived in RSA and he...

Does anyone know where I can purchase tri-fold cardstock with a small cut-out to mount embroidery in the card? I have not been able to locate any locally anymore. The one place I found online (Embroideryetcetera.com) shows exactly what I want on their website but perhaps is no longer in...

Our church had a rummage sale Friday afternoon and yesterday. I didn't get to look at much stuff, as dh and I were in charge of sorting the books, and we had a HUGE amount. (105 cases altogether, when sorted). However, just before we opened I was walking past the "boutique" table, and saw a...

Oh dear......... looking forward to buying buttons for a baby jacket, and discovered the shop is closed ! The worst thing was, the wool and needles were still visible through the window..... so near, yet so far. So many shops are closing down in the shopping centre :o( So I decided to treat myself...

Along with the lap frame I bought at the rummage sale, there was a paper of needles of a type I have not seen before. They are very heavy, 3.5 inches long and about the weight of a size 18 tapestry needle, with sharp points and with an eye which looks like a narrowed (or squished) letter...
