Lovely tulips. That'll make your table happy any season! (What is mending? Oh, wait a minuet, I think I have a bag of that waiting for me to do. It's been there for a couple of years!)[/QUOTE]
dublb - that mending is an unofficial member of my UFO list. I told myself that I can't start another UFO until I get this mending done. It should not take more than a half hour but it has been sitting there for months! Shows how many clothes I have if I can let some sit that long!
