When asked what time the last coaches left the Comedie Francaise, Rene Descartes replied "I think they're 4am". And from that misunderstanding... Bruce

Well, yesterday was the day that Donna's & my EGA chapter hostessed at Woodlawn. The exhibit had lots of small items this year, some stunning beadwork, stumpwork, samplers, and everything else. In the "hand sewing" room there was a lovely christening gown which had been made from the grandmothers...

I'm trying to update my email address on all my subscriptions. Does anyone know what happened to Classic Stitches? I used to get their newsletter but haven't for quite awhile. The website I had doesn't work anymore (www.classicstitches.com) and I can't seem to find them with google. Any help...

In a recipe it said "seperate two eggs" but it didn't tell me how far apart they have to be. I must be a bad cook because I boil my eggs for hours and they're STILL hard! Bruce

Well, I let too much time go by, the canvas I had at home was too fine, the stash I had produced the wrong colors, and I just don't feel like driving 60 miles for the supplies I'd need, or play the order and sweat their arrival game......so I've decided to just give them a very practical house type...

I've just finished listening to "the pastor's wife" by Elizabeth von Arnim, and it is utterly sensational. I was amazed to find it was written some 97 years ago - to my mind the issues seemed as relevant today as they ever did, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderfully written book...
