Dash it all. Pat,

All Canada needs is for you to join us!!!! DH is looking forward to the
lobster murder, and meeting the unseen friends I have!! I will send a

report
and pictures after the trip. I am so glad I bought a relatively cheap ,

but
good, Sony digital camera. Jim gave me a gizmo on/in which I push the

little
memorycard. I can them send it to the computer or a disk. I plan to fill

it
100 times when I am Canada, especially with unflattering pictures of

Sheena,
Ruby, Mavia, Sharon, and all the rest of my friends.
I forgot to warn you guys, that Jim can take any picture and put it a
different surrounding!! can't wait to see what he will do with this trip!!
His latest was to his aged aunt, showing her and hwer family on capeCod
waist high in water!!

Love y'all

And, Pat get Johm up on his feet, and fast!!

OK, Cleverclogs - that still doesn`t tell me how I turn over the

Are you going to be at this shindig in June, when Gill gets up there?

I`m
so jealous!

Here's what you do Pat - hold the bookmark down on the floor with your

foot,
take your already-cut-out piece of sticky felt, lay it carefully on

the
back
of the bookmark, then stomp on it - poof, done. :-) Hope all is well
across the pond. Want some cold weather - it was minus 39C here the

other
day - most delightful. (I have to say that cuz Sheena won't let me

live
something down - the little f**t.

Can`t help you with a site, but I cross stitch a single line all
round,
a
few rows in, and fray out the edges. Then I back the bookmark

with
iron
on
sticky-backed felt. Nice neat job and easy-peasy.

I didn't even see this til now. That rotten thing in NB!! That
'something' was her on a lovely summers day saying to me she would
like a snowstorm because she was having a hot flash! I told her I
would remind her when winter was here! And I have...ad nauseaum.

The latest was an awful pic emailed from his aged aunt in cape cod. Jim
juggled it so that they were all wading in the water, wearing snow clothes.
his comment was "A bit cold for wading isn't it??).

I can send you by email some of the weird things he has done, but don't ask
me how!!

Hmmmmm, I think Jim and I need to have a chat. I haven't figured out how

to do
that yet -- see if you can get some basic directions for me, and e-mail

them.
My e-mail's pretty easy to unmunge (problem seems to arise when people

delete
the obvious, but not the extra dot).

Guys, I am not ABSOLUTELY sure it starts is June, iand it may be early
July!! I will let you know the minute I know. I guess I can yake the
tentative schedule, with a calendar, and backtrack. Yup, I will do that this
weekend.

G
Actually, why I don't I send the advertisement of where we are and when, and
then you can go from there.

Eating your heart out yet, Pat??

The edges turn over very easily Pat - what are you doing the bookmarks on
..... the ones I did for the grandkids (love all 4 of them) were the
pre-made bookmarks - I think they're Aida (blech for anything but

bookmarks
or ornaments). You just go ahead and send 'em over Girl - I'll fix 'em up
in a hurry. (Ew, I love that word 'Cleverclogs')

You betcha - I can't wait for the shindig in June - or June in fact - when
I'm quite sure the temperature will not be MINUS 45 C.

I do my bookmarks on left-over bits of fabric - I don`t bother buying the
special Aida banding stuff. In fact when I set up for a project, I usually
leave extra fabric so I can do a few bookmarks around the same piece, just
to have a change every now and then!!!

At the moment I have two projects going on the same frame - "The Watchers"
(back view of a group of Native American women obviously - er - WATCHING
something, and a Thomas Kinkade Stepping Stone Cottage one on the other
side - I just turn it round in the clamp to have a change. I don`t think
I`ll ever do another Thomas Kinkade - they are too garish for my taste. I
prefer natural colours. Back to my cottages and trees etc.

The first thing that came to mind were some members of the yarn group that a
