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...

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'm a lurker. I figure most of you must have framed your artwork. I was wondering if you use glass while framing your artwork or just frame without any glass on the top. I was talking to the guy at Hobby Lobby and he said that when we're framing artwork on cloth we don't need to use glass. Which...

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

I was reading my morning news on line, and came across a picture which looks like it could be a good pattern. (Tongue in cheek). I have not yet had time to stitch it. (tongue in cheek mode off). It can be viewed...

Our youngest active member is 17 (started coming with her grandmother when she was 12) and our oldest active member is 90. :-)) I, also, was a little worried that it would be a group of "experts" who would be very concerned about technique and how things "should" be done. We are exactly...

hey gang - this is veering off topic, but I want your input. We've all seen projects that involving felting an old wool sweater. And there are a few I've fallen in love with and want to try. Here's my dilemma - I go in to the thrift stores and some times even find wool sweaters and then I go,...

Now I know why I don`t do them - my expected niece keeps having name changes! At the moment, it`s Caitlin Amber - but who knows what it will be by November, when she`s due. Nice name, Caitlin - I`m glad they didn`t decide on Amber as the first name - I always think of the book "Forever Amber" when...

I've been going through my stash and listing everything I can. (I've been working on it for about two weeks off and on, and I still have at least a week of two to go. I also spent some time last week making a list of about 30 books donated to our Guild by the husband of a deceased member. ...

I'm really sorry about the Heron but the good news is that it's the end of the 8th inning and the Marlins are up 2. If you can't enjoy the Florida Blue Heron, at least you can enjoy the Florida fish. Lucille "animaux" wrote in...

This post is less to self-promote and more to share that cross stitch got a mention in today's Boston Globe. Here's a link to the article online (not sure if it will expire after 24 or 48 hours...) http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2004/11/28/noel_noir?pg=full In short, there's an...

Hi Guys, I'M HOME -- HOORAY :-). Had a great time with DD, got the SMDGD just about potty trained and kicked some serious butt with Steven the DSonIL :-). Anyway, it's time to get back to business with the Angel. One of us (I'm not sure if she wants her name mentioned) has been busily...

Hi, everyone! It's been years since I've posted to the rct groups. Doesn't help that my ISP doesn't even have Usenet Newsgroups as a service anymore. :( Anyhow, for those of you who remember me as Teri Rasmussen George, I've got a new name (Teri Walsh) and a new little shop that's just start...
