Thanks for the encouragement SheriR, I'm going to need all the help I can get have a feeling. MaryBeth has also been great, giving me all kinds of hints and sites to get more patterns. Just got a notice saying the thread order should be here on Monday. Wish it would come early so I have all weekend, don't know why, it's not as if I go to work 8 - 5 on Monday, I'll probably still be in my nightgown at 10 am . I'm really praying it's just going to pop right in my head and be smooth sailing, like the light bulb came on, right kind of unrealistic huh? Time will tell.
