I have a lot of projects and quilts to make and not gonna sit around and wait till the last minute to get them done for her. I sew and do art work and do other crafts to make money for myself for extra things and help pay bills. I can't trust her to carry thru at this point.

If I have time left she wants me to make a 8ft table runner for the main table.
Then! I go back and read a few posts before mine posted, and alas! Someone seems to be a big talker in more ways than one. So sad!
I have long held that you really do not know me until you find out what I do when I hit my thumb with a hammer (translation: Until you see what I do when I am actually working, you have not met the real Omak.) Seems to hold true for most humans. Work has a tendancy to allow our true strengths and weaknesses to show through. <wave> Sorry to hear that all has fallen through :(
