Bev--thanks for the pictures. Your MBs are coming together. DN's pillow turned out nicely. The embroidery is beautiful.
Anael--have a great time with the grandkids. I am sure Mick will be happy to go for a walk with you. I like seeing the before and after pictures of your yard...looks very pretty.
Jan--those roses sound like they would be a sight to see. Hope you can get them to grow, sorry I have no suggestions. Have fun in the sewing room. What are you working on these days? Quilting or piecing?
QNS--I understand about the money not going as far as we would like it to sometimes. Praying you can find a good solution and have a nice trip to the shop and back home again.
