    Oh, and yeah, I'm still on the bench as well -- but understand with all the bad weather going on up there. I won't tell you that it's between 65 and 70 here and the azaleas are starting to bloom .... but I survived Rochester NY for 40 years, so I know what you're going thru.

    Belfry Bat...is that your "precious pup" in your avatar? What a sweet looking fur baby!

    Krystyna I LOVE that butterfly dress! I would have worn it in a heartbeat back in my size 8 days for sure! However, I am afraid you would upstage the bride and that is no way to start being a beloved MIL!!!! Maybe you could change into that dress for the reception???

    Packages all are lovely...wish my SP would get home and let me know she got the one I sent!

    Quilting Dragon and Jaba, I used to wear crocs while fishing at the pier in our city and in the garden because they were so easy to wash off. BUT ... then I ended up with a polka dot suntan which looked a little odd when I wore something else!

    Skaduzy, poor fingers! My husband gets that a lot and there's something in a green jar that works well -- workman's hands? Forget the name. Great package from Knitette!

    Ah, Nancy! I see that we have the same fabulous sense of style! I think it would be lovely to wear to my own funeral, don't you?

    Luvstoquilt, I was thinking more of my long gone size 3 sliding into a 1 days ... and somehow I think the "beloved MIL" isn't going to happen. BUT ... cheer up one and all! I found the perfect cake topper!

    The package I sent out was supposed to have been delivered yesterday but it looks like it was stuck in denver. It only has to go one state north so hopefully it will be delivered today.

    From the sounds of it during Sandy, Krystyna, you are truly the beloved MIL - even before you became that. Melissa was truly worried and seemed to be concerned over everything. Accept it - you're the neat person you never thought you 'd be!

    Yes, that is a memorial to Elgar, who I buried three weeks ago, taken when he was much younger. Thank you for asking. I've replied to your PM -- thanks for your generosity.

    Default and it was!!!

    Thank you so much Areinn for the lovely package. I went and picked up the mail and was so excited I could hardly stand it! Love love love the fabric, perfect for me. I'm sure I'll find a use for the buttons and mini clothespins. The hot and cold glass will come in very handy, especially with the heath bar on the side. Have to try the cappuccino, I love the caramel flavor and thank you for the pin cushion. I've never seen one made this way...it'll hold alot of pins. I love your package, thank you again for making it very special.[ATTACH=CONFIG]397117[/ATTACH]

    Thanks, Krystyna, I'll look for it and try it!
