And yes, Louise, the board has been a little flakey today. Maybe too much traffic on this chilly Sunday afternoon.

I've been spending (too much) time sorting through my bookmarks. What a bunch of wonderful stuff I've found. I've been thinking of putting all the pdfs for patterns onto a disk once I've gotten them all organized - anyone else do this? If so, would anyone eventually like a copy?

I would LOVE a copy! I've been wanting to do the same but haven't had time.

I am still on the look out for hand embroidery thread to to a top that I have here if anyone has any they are no longer using . I hate to mention this because at this time I am financially strapped!

With all that you are going through to think that you found time to RAK me, dear heart....your generousity and kindness is so wonderful...thank-you so, so much.

I heard on the news that you had a lot of snow in your neck of the woods????I hope you are warm and toasty at home!

Warm Quilty Hugs...

I'm so glad they got there and that you liked them. I can't wait to see it all finished. No snow where I'm at but lots of rain which is causing lots of pain in my back. Enjoy the fabric.

My 2 biggest collections are postcards and snow globes. Where are going to in your travels?

and her truck driving husband for my latest addition to my state

Connecticut can now be crossed off the "needed" list.

Thank you again Mr. & Mrs walk-n-roll

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the mug.

Will post pictures soon as my camera decides to play nice with
me again.

Or until I become UNlazy and pull out the BIG Nikon D70s (to
much camera for little quick pics).

Hopefully my hubs can figure out what is wrong with my little
point and shoot Nikon.


You are very welcome. I am so glad you like it. I was impressed myself. I told my DH to only buy one if it was a really nice one. I to thought he did a good job. Enjoy!

donna are you talking about the little skeins of thread? i see these all the time when i go to estate sales. i really dont purchase much because i do not hand embroider. i believe that i have a coupla skeins left from a bag i purchased at one estate sale. i was enclosing skeins in my secret pal swap packages and sometimes i use some to whip stitch my pincushions. lemme know and when i prepare this next batch of raks i can send you some.

robyn i know that i had a miniture set of postcards from niagra falls around here somewhere but when i was cleaning out the desk drawers where they had been for years, i could not find them. i am really doing some de-cluttering, uh i mean spring cleaning as i am really trying to clear up some space and share all of my "findings" with you all. i found another handful of conference do-dads today to share. if i find those mini postcards, they will be coming your way.

hey i did find some skull pencils and i believe someone in this rak group collects skull stuff. i have some skull pencils waiting for a place in your home.
