In defense of Facebook by
Cheryl Isaak
Frankly, I don't live there, but I do hit FB once or twice a day. I went to
stay in touch with one HS friend who prefers it to emails. I have since
reconnected with a bunch of HS friends and that has been fun. I've even gone
to see one of them play in their 70's cover band. (which was very...

Next round of what are you reading? by
Cheryl Isaak
I just finished "Blood and Ice" (Robert Masello). I would tell you don't
bother. Started out really good but then the holes started showing.
Experienced hikers/climbers don't make the mistakes which the "hero" made.
Protocol at scientific bases in the Antarctic are not as loosey goosey as
written....

ON and Off topic - SCA by
Cheryl Isaak
Is anyone active here, an active member of SCA?
My neighbor's oldest has just joined and while I can help him some, does
anyone have suggests for where to find patterns and/or clothes.
I'll be teaching him how to do the embroidery (as a broad term) for what
ever persona he chooses.
Thanks
Cheryl

OT-For Clean Freaks by
Lucille
I just got this silly quote from the always logical Maxine in my e-mail and
it was just too perfect for those of us who were discussing saving dust
bunnies from extinction or having clean houses.

Not OT Reading & Weeding Glasses by
ellice
Since so many of us need a visual aid when stitching, I thought I'd post
this link for some really sweet readers we saw today, at of all places, the
National Gallery of American Art Book Shop (and they were $1 cheaper).
Anyhow, they were really, really, cute and optically awesome when I tried
them...

know. I live just outside Sydney Australia but was born and raised in
Elgin Illinois (long story). I am an avid cross stitcher but will try

It all comes 'round again.. by

The church I used to belong to 20-30 years ago closed down, and there
were two Hardanger pieces I'd made for them that were offered to me for

appropriate gifts for chewing pupmitzvahs and the grammar peeves.
At a happy and silly baby shower we were invited to suggest names for
the little darling. I offered 'Polly Esther' and it has stayed with me
since.
