I just looked at the stormtracking page and Ike is still on track to make landfall in San Antonio and go up toward Houston. Maybe you'll actually get some of the rain you've wanted. L

Hello, We are starting a new two-day Fiber Arts & Animals Festival in Marshall, Michigan on October 3 and 4, 2009. We are joining an already established one-day event that has attracted 3000 to 4000 people in the past. For us in 2009, they are expanding to a two-day event. We are looking for...

Happy Birthday to Trish in OZ I'd send it off list, but I lost your address in moving and changing servers. chris in CO

Hi All, I'm interested in taking up cross-stitch or some other style of needlework, but I'm hopeless at learning from books. I was wondering, are there any sewing-circles, or groups, or classes etc in the East of Scotland (Dundee - Arbroath area)? It may be a shot in the dark, but hopefully no...

Hey, have you guys seen the Bride's Christmas Box from Victoria's Sampler. Wow. I'm liking it quite a bit. http://www.silversites.net/victoria.php?Reloaded=True&osCsid=f36760a004897a9eb447d2eecd1a5d10 Elizabeth -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~living well is the best revenge~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The most...

I have no idea about service etc, but this is a very nice site to look at indeed. www.violarium.com. Lots of samplers, bicornus etc by mostly French designers. I had a lovely browse last night. Dawne

That dress is beautiful, it look like it would keep you busy for a while. Has anyone tried to do yokes and cuff, etc on a western shirt? I want to make shirts for my kids for Christmas (7 year old triplets). Most of the ideas I've seen on pre-made shirts are pretty elaborate for hand work. I...

Well, it was busy - DS's hockey team had it first two games (won both, a win for each goalie), DD had her first team skate, I worked, I read, I stitched a little. Pin stretched a few pieces for other people at work, fondled a few finishes of other people. Finished two books and dealt with Hanna's...

Joined DH at the rink to watch DS play on Sunday afternoon. Walk up, say hi to a few of the parents I know. (very few on this team) I start to sit down and see Marianne Anderson, late of this group. Her DS is on my DS's team. Has her hockey playing daughter with her too. We've been running into...

To all, Hi, I will be visiting Hershey/Elizabethtown PA for the RV Show. I was wondering if there is a LNS in the area? Thanks Sue in MD

I thought Alicia is in the path of this Huricanes ? Anyone heard from her ?

No wind damage. Lots of localized and street flooding. I have water in my basement. Heard the power blip around 3 AM. NH seems to have survived relatively intact. Some areas had 6 plus inches of rain in just a few hours. In about 15 minutes, I'm going get dressed and head the grocery store and see...

I am currently using DMC's binder with plastic inserts but I have so many skiens that they are never going to all fit in there. I might keep it for certain projects or for travel but in the meantime I am looking for a better way to store all my threads. What does every one else use? Does any one...

Here we go again. Three years ago today, Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast, and now Gustav is swirling towards us. This time, we decided to get out early, being as dh is retired and we can do so. After much organising, telephoning etc., we are in a motel in Hammond, LA, about an hour north of...

Is there a new issue for 2008? I can't find out any info on their site. I have all the past ones and never do anything with them but love to look at them each year. Anne

Ok DD's new helmet FINALLY arrived. Now to keep it as "pretty" as possible, I want to make a helmet bag. I have some tube knit fabric in blue and something to make a casing and draw string. NOW - to line it - is it possible to find yardage of the micro-fiber cloth or should I buy a towel out of...

I got three ribbons! Two second-place ones and a fifth-place. The fifth-place was in special category: Christmas ornaments; I don't thing regular categories go "down" that far. I'll try to get photos soon on my r.c.t.n.p. Not there yet - I'll have to borrow DD's camera. sue

Someone on the ANG group is looking for you - please contact me offline and I will give you their email address. Linda
