Hi Everyone- It just occurred to me that I haven't properly introduced myself, even thought I've been reading the group off and on for over 2 years, and have even posted a handful of times. So here goes! I'm a Midwest girl who was recently transplanted to New England for my DH's career. Still...

Hi everyone! It is me here again. Someone talked here about the fact that someone may lose her or his interest in stitching for a while. Well, the person who wrote about that is not the only one.

I have been here several years and have two questions. What do the numbers next to the list of posts stand for? I miss getting postings (I can tell when someone answers a post I did not see) and several of my own posts show up several days late...can anyone tell me why? I guess that is three...

Two that I haven't taken pictures of yet, so therefore haven't "bragged" about them" 1) "C is for Kitty-Cat" from The Sweetheart Tree. They are supposed to be doing the whole alphabet in series, all similar to this. This is probably the only one that I will do. Three pictures start...
