    Snakes do to me but DS 10 sleeps under a snake quilt. He specifically asked for it. He is also the kid that has a a bug quilt.

    Also have an adult son that is into spiders. I made him a pillow case with realistic spider fabric and his room mate at college forbade him to use it.

    I wish bees weren't so maligned. My Dad and I raised bees when I was a little girl. They were like our pets. They really are docile and industrious little critters. In all the years we raised bees, the only time I got stung was when I did something dumb--and I did it knowing that I would probably get stung! My Dad did three tours in Vietnam and I took care of the bees while he was gone. He wrote me letters with instructions on what to do next.

    Anyway . . . bees are some of my favorite people. If we didn't have bees, we wouldn't have honey, fruits, vegetables, etc. Wasps and Yellow Jackets, now that's a different story. I hate those buggers.

    Right now, I'm looking for Ladybug fabrics and not the ones with a lime green background.

    I'm a Master Gardener. We learned that most of those wasps etc. eat the white flies, mealy bugs and aphids so they are really our friends too

    I am all about butterflies and especially ladybugs. If I see a piece with ladybugs, I almost always buy it, even if I can't or shouldn't afford it. It is my major addictions.

    See? Even the most unsympathetic among us have their purpose.

    I even have a Ladybug watch band. My friends know my likes so I'm getting quite a collection. Since I'm a MG, my girl friend got me a candy dish made from clay pots painted like a LB. I love it.

    As a matter of fact I have a big piece of very realistic snake fabric that I would love to do a purse in...so I can have a snake skin purse. Hee hee hee. Unfortunately I have big time problems making purses.
