Don't have any toddlers but how about a couple of Cockatiels? Hope you like
little green dots all over everything. As for the design wall, I've tried a can of the spray adhesive but it really didn't seem to work that well. Things stuck for a while but by the time I got to the bottom of a queen size, the top blocks were beginning to fall. Shirley "Polly Esther" wrote in message nk.net... I need one to make something sticky. Because I bring to quilting some minor challenges - one eye, weak knees and a limited attention span, to mention a few, I thought it would be very helpful to have a real cover on my design wall. Up until now, it was covered with $1 a yard polyester terry cloth. That worked great but it did not have lines of any sort on it. Today we covered my 4' x 8' sheet of paneling with the real thing. Design Wall Grid (to the tune of $40). It works great as far as lining up, looking at, and trying out. But things don't stick to it. I have to poke pins in anything I want to stay on it. We figure any self-respecting toddler could make it good and gummy in just no time. We guarantee to spoil said loaned tot with joy and return him safely. Any other ideas? Polly |

James the terrible will be on a plane this morning. Just give me your
preferred airport. He is an expert at making things sticky. Also, no need to worry about child-proofing the house. James could injure himself in a padded room.

I have some of that stuff, but I ended up using polar fleece on my design
wall. Perhaps you could brush the flannel to bring up the fuzz a little bit more? I saw some kind of metal brush for knitting stuff this week, maybe that could work for you. Or, if you brush your yorkie with a wire bristle brush like the one I use on my cat. Just a thought. Jennifer "Polly Esther" wrote in message nk.net... I need one to make something sticky.

This is a real sacrifice, but I can send you a 16.1 hand Percheron named
Cara Mia who can get horse drool on anything. This stuff is STICKY. IF you are luck, or have a carrot, you can get enough to not only sticify your wall piece, but possible resurface the exterior of your home. Mind you, you will need to FEED her while she is visiting. A round bale of hay will make a nice appetizer. Don't forget the grain...and the join supplement cause she is an Older Lady. She too has some minor challenges, but you don't need her to pull a plow, just drool. How soon do you need Cara?

Just read an article about gecko toes (Sometimes get desperate for newspaper
material in English, and the local rag publishes once a week a little "anthology" of stuff from the NYT.) Did you know that the toes are covered in teensy microscopic hairs, each hair with a teensy little pad at the tip, which provide enough molecular attraction to hold the gecko on a vertical wall even if it weighed 127 kilos? That's something like 250 pounds! So the solution to your problem is obviously to cover your design wall in gecko toes. Also, for some reason science has not yet completely uncovered, gecko toes do not attract dirt. If they walk through dirt, it all falls off within 5 steps.

Send them all on straight away. We will meet trains, planes and horse
trailers. The static electricity thought does bring up some puzzles. I hadn't even thought about it. In our other homes I had to touch something such as a wall before I could touch anything metal or I would create a hateful zap of electricity. Opening doors and kissing anyone hello or goodbye was particularly exciting. In this house, the static just isn't here. I wonder if it is because the carpet is wool? Polly "JS" wrote in message . ..

Since you really want it gummy, a toddler won't work. You'd really have to
convince the tot that you *didn't* want it sticky. Then it would happen before you can blink twice. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Polly Esther" wrote in message nk.net...

Gecko toes, Roberta? Now why didn't I think of that? So far, no one's
offered to share their gecko but the day is still young. I can hope. Polly "Roberta Zollner" wrote in message ...
