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 get sick of having it wrap around my neck when I sleep or get caught in the zipper of my coat or flap in my face when I take the dogs to the beach so I wear it in braids. I guess it would be better if I lived in Montana or on a mountain somewhere rather than in an upscale suburban neighborhood, but it is what it is. I am now officially an eccentric old lady.

It sounds like my hair. Even using the restroom can be tricky.

Thank-you for your thoughtfulness. I have been living under a rock as I've never looked into a Go Cutter and don't even know what it is, even though I've seen it mentioned so many times. I always mean to go look on YouTube as I'm sure it is demonstrated there but always forget!
I apologize for not having responded to your post until now. I'm finally done with scheduled committments until Fall, I'm so relieved to be able to do what I want, when I want....At least that is the plan until 'life' seems to inevitably throws us a curve ball.
Thank-you Dear Heart for offering some of your pastels, it is so like you and so many others on this board always thinking of others, hugs to you (((Robyn)))

And I don't want to think about the time I went for a motorcycle ride. Took me a week to get the snarls out.

Thank you Gigi07 aka Gina! I just received the most wonderful rak!
Ooodles of lacey binding - perfect for my aprons and my quirky quilts!
A fabulous note book with place keeper which is about to become my Doll Quilt Swap Book
And chocolate! Wheeee! I haven't had breakfast yet so ... what can you do?
With some of that fabulous coffee I got the other day this is going to be one swell meal.
I love the note card too.
Thank you and HUGS GALORE!

list items "wanted/needed".
This is kinda of a "mini" poll
Do you want it added to the RAK list?
Also along those lines do you want a column added
for birthdays? (month and day ONLY)
Please let me know.

Please add rickrack to my "wants".
By the way, I don't know if I mentioned it here, so excuse me if I did, but I've taken over the Doll Quilt Swap from Chele. If any of you are so inclined, I hope you'll jump onboard!

ooh i have lace also to rak but mine is eyelet lace and i believe that it is 3"^ wide. who likes and uses lace in this group. i am cleaning house (well clearing space actually) as i am feeling a bit cluttered.
i believe that i may have some of the lacey lace also. just lemme know whom here uses it or otherwise wants to collect it and i will get it together along with my next set of raks.
yippee it's snowing here.
