Must admit, I'm thoroughly addicted to the fb group Stash Unload. Have picked up many wonderful fabbies at great prices this year!

Interesting! I never grid, either, but will probably have to do something to map out the first HAED experience.

Steak (and all you can eat salad bar) Anyone remember going to BONANZA steak house? Mmmmmmmmmm.

Plan?! Bwahahahaa, oh, giggle, snort, roll around?! Plan?! I may have just tinkled myself (again)--the joys of middle age, my dears. Oh, my no, no, no. I am over-achiever organized in everything else, but this is for the "OH, shiny/pretty!" side that doesn't come out in clothing, jewelry, ...

Give Elegant Stitch (from California) or Silver Needle a try. WONDERFUL folks and top notch service/pricing.

Oh, wow, this one just screams LOOK AT ME! Wonder if the chart is still available???

Agreed. The last year has, to quote my secondary students, "sucked butt." Here's to new beginnings and, if not possible, less than painful outcomes.

I searched and searched for either a freebie or an Etsy seller design and found NADA. Wish I had better advice, but I think Richard's got it. He has a program, so maybe??

This might not be the most efficient method, but I log on, click the view new posts link, then I can see any response to anything that has happened since the last time I was here.

GADS, yes! Stoney Creek must take great pains (and too much joy!) doing this, too. I'm working on a mourning sampler--aka the Grandmother piece, aka the frickin forever longer than a HAED piece--that makes my bonkos. Capital B/lowercase b, and e, and = or vertical, etc. It's such a fun piece other t...

Hi, Russ! For the Kreinik, use it as it comes. It's already set up for you. If the Kreinik starts misbehaving, try Treasure Braid--the petite version. LOVE! I would wait to do the metallics until all of the regular Xstitching is done. I've found it helpful to have a needle just for metallic fibers, ...

Hugs, prayers, and more hugs! Poor thing

What a fun thread! Congrats to the lady with the new grandbaby. Babies are everything!! In just a bit I have a double interview for a temp job that could be the transistion to a new career away from teaching. Getting a teaching job has proved most difficult the last 5 years; I'd dearly love to keep ...

That looks like a very fun project!! Thanks for the intel on a new pattern.

Happy stitching, friends! Over the weekend, I finally got around to winding the stacks of "floss in a box" DMC collections. I've only been meaning to do that for 5-7 years! The DMC "limited edition 2002" set had a few charts and a small piece of white Aida, maybe 14 count. The ch...

I don't know what that means, but I'm interested in learning!

(snow)cream!

MMMMM, snow cream memories. Were things really cleaner then or did we just not know any better?

Good question. I looked at both, and they are virtually identical. My first thought was that the proper cr belongs to the Happy group on Amazon. When I clicked on the seller's name, however, I see Disney items that I know are not legit. Makes me wonder about the integrity of the Amazon seller, too!
