Finally got the pictures up on the website...
Hi All:
I am taking a bit of a break from sewing until "Psycho Kitty" settles down a bit. Unlike Kate's well-mannered felines, our Pepper thinks that everything's fair game! I did manage to take down and re-furbish the old curtains in the family room, though. Not really an easy task as it meant putting up new rods as well. I still have two valances to make and put up and then that job will finally be done - it's only been almost 20 years of hating what was hanging in that room! (Not so much the curtains - it was the butt-ugly rods that just didn't work!) I waited for hubby to be gone for a week and then did the job myself....with plenty of 'help' from the kitten! My other accomplishment was to update our family website a bit. It is still extremely simplistic compared to Kate's, but it does show a bit of where we live and some of the sewing I've done. The top picture of the deer in my backyard actually has five deer in it (4 and 1/2, really) - I truly think that they were planning an attack at night on my sundeck as that is where I have taken to growing fuschias, roses, pansies and all of their other non-perennial favourites. The site is: http://www.rupert.net/~spilsted/ and, as I've already said, Kate's is a far better site - does Alan do a lot of the grunt work on it for you, Kate? As soon as I can get a copy of the "Tradition" outfits from Fiddler on the Roof and the "Can-Can" petticoats I will add them to the site, too. The girls in the towel wraps peeled the towels off 2/3 of the way through the dance to reveal brightly coloured satin 'tube' dresses - that dance was a lot of fun to watch and the girls had a great time doing it. We organised a sewing bee to make the costumes and got them done in a day: the non-sewing moms were our 'go-fers' between the tables and the rest of us cut, sewed, pinned and such. Their head-wraps were towel turbans that were cut and sewn so no one had to worry about it coming off mid-dance! We had a lot of fun and everyone learned a little bit - plus, it meant that I didn't have to make all of the darned things! (Ulterior motive at work: I'd much rather teach them to sew the costume than make it for them all the time.) Cynthia |

Shouldn't have timed out - Michael showed me (and I actually remembered something!) to break it into separate 'pages' for quicker loading - especially important for those with dial-up modems.

Cynthia I reached your site this AM, thanks. I love your costume work, how very fortunate your daughters are. I also have some wildlife in my backyard, though nothing as large as yours. ;-) -- Beverly delete nospam and .invalid to reply Birds: http://home.comcast.net/~bei.designs |

Irene:
The hedgehog is also known by the very appropriate nickname of SRT which stands for: "Spoiled Rotten Thing". She has two converted toques to sleep in (both out of top quality wool - Lopi and White Buffalo) and a polar fleece carry bag for being carted around the house or downtown. That is, when she is not making herself comfortable up inside someone's sweatshirt or t-shirt or in a Kangaroo pocket! Right now, she is sleeping in our queen sized bed with my husband and the cat!
