no new postings since 5/2 (long)
Congratulations on your de-cluttering skills! My new rule, mostly
followed, is that nothing new comes in unless an equal volume of old
goes out.

Needlethreaders and eyesight
Wow! I am reminded yet again that we all put too much faith in people
with white coats. Always worth getting a second opinion, even if it's
just from the optician who makes your glasses. Mine always...

Music, music, music
Gotta have music. DH, my techie support, has transferred his entire
collection (about 10,000 CDs) to MP4 format. (MP3 isn't good enough
for his ears.) So if I need anything, I can download to the...

Never tried anything like that. But don't you have some kind of adult

OT Roses
ROFL! I am the farthest from a rose expert you could imagine. But it
seems to me that you have the magic fingers. You cannot kill a plant,
and every plant you touch turns into superplant. So what are...

Er... the darning foot! There's a Big Foot version too, but I prefer

My plan is to do the batting in thirds and the top in fifths. So the
batting joins will not line up anywhere near the seams in the top, and
