just a quick hi by
Cheryl Isaak
and wishing everyone in the US a great Thanksgiving
life is good - DS somehow kept his license. But his dress and manners
have to have helped quite a bit.
(also had an itchy hand - one young "man" was there on a tobacco
violation and was incredibly insolent to all - attorneys, bailiffs. and...

what's been going on - or my life in as few paragraphs as possible by
Cheryl Isaak
Ok - working a truly funky schedule, sometimes in at 8 AM sometimes at
12 and some times at 2. Make's it hard to get into any kind of rhythm. I
am enjoying it as always - 99.9% of customers are easy to work with. The
odd jerk does happen and sometimes I end up playing sympathetic
listener, but...

off topic -Electricity is a wonderful thing by
Cheryl Isaak
We were with out power from late Saturday night until yesterday around
7:30 PM.
Birds went to stay with friends with a wood stove Sunday morning. Even
lost the cell signal at home by mid day.

OT I'm Back! by

again. Darn snow in October. New England had an incredible amount of
damage. I have friends that still don't have power and might not till
Sunday. We were lucky our house never went below 49 degrees and we only
had to sleep...

Long stitches by
Sara
I am stitching a pattern that has a motif that has an area of long
straight stitches in the design. It's Chatelaine's Greek Mandala, the
windmills. They looked fine when I stitched them, but now, many

be redone. But how can I...

Book Holder by
Sandy Bell
Morning all! I am making a secret Santa gift for my bookclub and
wondered if anyone had a pattern (or know a site where I can find one)
for a book carrier? It's not a bag as such but something with handles
that one can slip a book into. Does that make sense to anyone?
Thanks

What’s wrong???"
The doctor says, "Well, now, nothing’s wrong, exactly, but your baby is

Cheryl Isaak
I'm working on a set of penguin ornaments for DD, but it's on 14 count
plastic canvas. I don't want to put then on fabric because I don't
think they'd be easy to do an alternate finishing technique on. (trust
me on this)
any hints for making this easier on my fingers? I find my hands hurt...
