Vanuatu Jill, that sounds really interesting. I will definitely look it up. Murphy, you can do anything you put your mind to. I've only been sewing for 2 1/2 years now.
Thank you all for your well wishes with my surgery. I'm a little scared about it but I'm looking forward to it also. I am hoping that this will help with at least some of the pain I am in everyday.
While I'm recovering, I am going to pick up making my ornaments using the Delica beads and the Peyote stitch. I also have a loom that I will be making hat bands and such.
