Alas, with the antiquated system on this account I can't alter my return address. Someday I'll get another account when his becomes too annoying, but meantime this one's free so I'm putting up with the annoyance. When I get another account, I'll keep your advice in mind. On Wed, 22 Oct 2003,...

Dianne, I tried to email you privately, but you appear to be over quota... I just wanted to let you know that the pattern and instructions for the Jacobean tea cozy arrived today. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with both the set-up and packaging, but also the care you took in mailing...

While looking up Victorian era Christmas crafts, I found this web page. http://www.victoriana.com/christmas/default.htm They had some beautiful embroidery ideas back then. I especially love the Christmas Card box. But a lot of Christmas crafts from 150 years ago involved needlework. Time to...

snip So, what makes your heart pitter patter when it comes to design!? Hmm - good question: My preference is surface/freestyle embroidery. I like to redo artwork and create the texture where possible, in addition to the picture. I've done some Manet, Monet and a couple of other pictures. ...

I pulled all the Halloween fabric off my web site today and added some new Christmas fabrics for tuck pillows and banners. This is my hobby in addition to cross stitching. Bev http://bevxs.tripod.com/tuck_pillows.htm

I just knew you had it in you! I'll dance around the room with ya! I wish it was *me* saying I had it done in *my* collection. :-) That's one gorgeous bird. I love it when I hear them squawking as they migrate in spring and fall, or when they go from watering hole to watering hole in the...

I have a question for you all. I now use what I think is called a "Bead Hive" It is plastic see thru drawers that go into holders which slide together. They are rectangular shaped. Anyway a couple times when I have vacuumed the dresser where I keep the beads, I have sucked out a drawer with...

I "upgraded" last night to 9.0, and have had nothing but trouble with it all day. Anybody else tried this new one? Any advice -- other than changing ISPs -- dh and dd don't want to change, who knows why. Jere
