Hi group. Does anyone know where I can find those buttons that have animal sounds? I am not sure if they are considered buttons or boxes. I thought they came in buttons but I may be mistaken. Anyone know where I can find a good selection? Thanks. Mary www.glasscrochet.com

I have lost your email address. I have some cute dachsie things to show you. Gillian gillmurray1 at verizon dot net

Can anyone recommend a good light and bulb that will make stitching in the evenings easier. I used to use an anglepoise light with a 'blue' daylight bulb. I did find though that the bulb caused a yellowy shadow on my material. In the daytime, my bedroom is the best place to stitch as it has a...

Drum roll please What are you stitching? I'm stuck on letter I for the baby dragon alphabet. So, I'm making great progress toward finishing Cheryl's Bouquet. I've told myself when I finish with the "bottom right" page, it's back to the alphabet.

Quoting from Needle Arts June 2007 pg 21: "....you may not stitch multiple pieces from one instruction booklet unless specifically permitted by the copyright owner" Is this a true fact? Are instructions in stitching magazines usually copyrighted?

Hi, If anyone could help, i'm looking for information on how to become a furrier. I have searched the internet with little success. Is there a Furrier's organization? books or videos on making things like Trooper hats? Supply companies? Thanks, Eric

First, a close to done the stitching part is the snowflake SAL running on my NE-xstitchers group (on Yahoo! this in an inherited job and all New England Area stitchers are welcome) Then, I want to get more done on the Baby Dragon project. Then, I think I'm going to grab a chart I kitted up a...

I put the last stitches into Just Nan's "Silkwood Manor" during my vacation last week. It is really beautiful. I can't wait until she publishes her next sampler in the series. I'm now going to start Moira Blackburn's "Three Things" sampler. I've been wanting to do this for some time and have...

I am just having a heck of a time with this. Any secrets to making it easier? I feel like I have 2 left hands (or two right hands!)

The ice storm started Monday and included multiple power outages, one drive to the rink (DS's team won, but it was an ugly victory), a delayed start to school and several meals out. Luckily, the library had power and I had reserves to pick up. Under Orders (Dick Francis) - not really his finest,...

I know that the ultimate decision is based on budget. But my oven died and one of my burners died earlier this year. My range is 13 years old, so I'm not going to get it fixed. So, I have to go this week end and buy a new range. Has anyone purchased one that they said, "Never again!" Does...

EVERTITE BARS Anyone tried these new needlepoint bars yet? kindred spirit barbara who is now home in Williamsburg !!! Yeah !

Although I've got a lot of stuff, it is nowhere near what long term stitchers have accumulated. Yesterday, I wanted to experiment with angelina fibers and couldn't find them. I emptied almost all the drawers and they were still hiding. Imagine my surprise when I turned around and saw them on the...

I have a question for you all. I now use what I think is called a "Bead Hive" It is plastic see thru drawers that go into holders which slide together. They are rectangular shaped. Anyway a couple times when I have vacuumed the dresser where I keep the beads, I have sucked out a drawer with...

Please excuse me if this is a repeat post but a recent virus (now deleted) wiped out everything so if my message was indeed posted, I did not see the reply. I want to learn Japanese Hand Embroidery. There is no teacher locally, nor classes at local institutes. But there are MANY books out there...

And this person is posting on a needlework thread...WHY? Someone forgot to take their meds and has missed a few too many appointments with his therapist. Alice On Nov 14, 9:03 am, "Magie Noire" wrote: Before you start pulling your hair by the roots, breath deep, calm...

Okay, I just have to share this -even if it's ridiculous and I never, ever in my life thought I'd have a conversation about a Vacuum Cleaner. Several months back there was some talk about vacuums, pet hair, etc. Anyhow, we've had a lot of problems with our "good" hoover just not working, getting...

My washing machine just dropped dead. It's only 11 years old and never got to see it's teen years. If anyone cares to join me in a very loud, very meaningful "OH S**T" please feel free to do so. Lucille

Someone just sent me a partial list... Darn...this isn't the one, but it helps...the one I got off RCTN was a two pager.... I called Paris today and asked that they bring my list home...so when I get it I'm going to be sure to type it in and save it where I can find it...can't imagine where I put...
