Hi Diane,
I "owe" you a pergamano card. I still have your address and I'm working on 
getting some "owe" things out in the mail this week.
I make spider web rose ribbon embroidery earrings set on studs. I use white 
silk material and make the roses about half inch wide. A single rose per 
tud.
Cut the material just a tad bigger than the anchor threads and glue the 
material to a small piece of light cardboard. Then the cardboard is attached 
to the earring stud. If you are careful and cover the cardboard well on the 
wrong side you can have the cardboard a tad larger than the stud backing. I 
use a white tacky glue for adhiesive so I stick the stud in some styrofoam 
(upright) so the rose has a chance to dry and still stay in place. A bar of 
soap works good too. 
If you would like a sample I can do that. My cost for the studs are $1.50 and 
I use left over ribbon and I'm mailing you a card anyways so don't worry 
about postage. But if you could cover the cost of the earrings I would 
appreciate it.
Do you have a color you like? I have a large selection of ribbon so feel to 
ask for a color you would perfer. No point in sending a set you won't wear 
because you don't like the color!! 
They are very simple to make and I'll send a set of directions along too.
                                                                         
I'm busy right now with sewing things. Curtains first and then a dresser 
topper, then some silk/dryed flower arrangements to finish decorating my 
girls rooms for this spring. Just in time for Easter!!!
I do hope you are feeling OK. Your vertigo must be terrible!  At least the 
cast will keep you off your feet and prevent another fall  but it is 
difficult to be mobile with a cast on :-(
Take care,
Gail
