Magnifier advice by Felice Friese
As usual, you are all full of all kinds of advice! Since I already wear glasses for astigmatism, I'm going to pass on high-test reading glasses and things that clip on to glasses and heads. BUT with Christmas lists about to be compiled, I think I'll go for (or hint that someone else go for) the...

Hi RCTNer's! WHEW! Have I ever been busy. I've been in my little house a bit over a year now and have finally decided on where I want certain things to hang. Professional framing is way too expensive for me to afford - I did break down and have one piece done, a sampler, as I couldn't get the...

Framing binge by Linda D.
Hi Victoria, I'm very impressed you got the 'energy' to do all this framing, I'm hoping it will rub off on me :) I have a couple of question for you. Do you manage to find ready made mats and frames for your designs? or do you get a framer to cut them for you and then you do the lacing and...

Blankets by Fred
A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the woman on the lower bunk, the man on the top. In the middle of the night the man leans over and says, "I'm sorry to bother...

directions on making a stand-up pillow by [email protected]
I have a needlepoint gingerbread man that I want to finish off. I thought about mounting it in a copper cookie cutter, but I can't find one that will fit the needlepoint. I have thought about doing it as a stand up pillow, perhaps backed with gingerbread man cookie material. Are there directions...

need a light by Boohoo1971
I visit my daughter and would like to be able to do needlework when she is out or busy. I would like to do the needlework in my hands rather than a frame of some sort. There is not a good needleworking light in her house, and the best chair for needlework is not near an outlet. She has a three...

Speaking of framing by Kathy Tabb
Reading Linda and Shannon's remarks on framing with mats brings up a question in my mind. I just took a one nite framing/matting class and it was all very interesting. But the issue of glass never came up -- probably because the class was aimed at photo framing. So my question is: do you use mats...

OT - autograph books by Cheryl Isaak
Has any one seen one of these around? DD is seriously getting into collecting autographs from the local AHL team and I thought if I could find one, it would be great socking stuffer for her. Certainly better than getting her jersey signed or those scraps of paper we are collecting. Cheryl
