Egg all over the kitchen and, I`m glad to say, stuck in his beard! Hilarious. Took him ages to clean up himself AND the kitchen. Did the kids and I laugh? What do you think! May years ago, after Thanksgiving dinner, my mother decided to make microwave peanut brittle. All we had was peanuts in the shell, so she shelled them and had a half cup. The recipe called for a cup of peanuts so she cut the recipe in half, but forgot to half the time. Set the fool microwave on fire and is lucky she didn't cause any dammage to the house (one of my brothers pushed her out of the way, closed the door, and carried the thing outside, still burning). She was more than a little put out when many of us gave her peanut brittle for Christmas. *grin* Elizabeth (who comes by her bratty ways naturally) It is a bit cruel to laugh, but the late lamented MIL (may she haunt all) almost set my kitchen on fire. I had bought some of those very tiny (4-5)in diameter pizza for her. She really loved her pizza. Well, I walked into the kitchen, black smoke was everywhere, and the old girl was patiently standing by the microwave. She insisted that the instructions said cook on high for 6 mins. My, we had a blackened hockeypuck. Until the day she died , three months ago, she would never admit she had ever been wrong. isn't life strange??? And did you have her cremated? (Sorry!) Pat P |

It is for my cocker spaniel Brandy. 2nd item: Knitting baby preemie caps for a local hospital 3rd item: working on a Hardanger angel that I would love to finish this year, but those Greek crosses are really tough to do. Then the next stitching doesn't look all that easy. Started this with a group of women who get together twice a month to stitch. Out of 6 of us, only one got it finished (it's been 3 years), and that was the instructor of the project. 4th item:Pamela Kellogg's Winter into Spring online design. Working on the 3rd section with shamrocks. I love how it is coming together. There are many other WIP's, but those are what I have been concentrating on the last few months. Joanie R. I suppose I should here now!! We have gotten(US English bad, UK English OK) slowly unpacking after our big trip. I started a couple of things this week, they were rewards for finishing Ckaire Murray's Cat and Pansies. A solid piece of stitching. As a reward, I started two new projects. The first is a kit, done on Navy Aida,named "The Wedding Gift". This will be my gift to my son (40) and his first bride (Aya) in Japan. Hopefully the unending knot will be symbolic, and the Navy and Gold represent the 20 plus years he has served our country. The second is a quick and dirty kit bought at Shelburne Museum in Vermont!! DH is one of the last people to travel on Lake Champlain aboard the Ticonderoga. You Yankees understand, right?? Gillian Aye-uh, I do understand! Cheryl |

As we post in all sorts of order!
It smells heavenly and does taste of chocolate and mint. And Six Strand Sweets does have a lot of chocolate mint colors. http://www.sixstrandsweets.com/catalog.html Ok - I think I have some designing to do! Fran - is the phrase yours? May I use it?
