PK> YEA TAMI!!  Congrats!!
 TC> Thanks, I get the feeling I bit off a BIG chunk.
 PK> That is how I felt when I took over Crafting, but the echos basically
 PK> run themselves.  Once in a great while you get a trouble-maker in the 
 PK> echo.  Take care of them and things run smoothly again!
Heh, I have a BIG spanking stick right here beside my puter. :)
 PK> I do my own clothing some.  Used to do more of it.  I 
 PK> recently made a skirt
 PK> and need to make a couple of more dresses for myself.  
That bargello one?  It sounded beautiful!
 PK> me and the new me is several inches smaller around the waist!  :)  So, I 
 PK> don't want to me making clothes that won't fit me when 
 PK> I am done with them.
WOOO!  Way to go Pat!  Mine are changing too, unfortunately the other way :(  
I am starting on new diabetes control meds and am having a DEVIL of a time 
controlling my weight!  I swear, I do not eat any more than I did before, 
actually am eating less, but they are just steadily chunking on the weight 
for me :(
 PK> I would love to make some of the pieced vests.  These 
 PK> are sort of quilted, 
 PK> but unless you do a jacket you really aren't quilting it.  I also want 
o
 PK> make a doll.  One of the soft sculpture ones.  Just 
I checked out a book at the library last month.. It was paper pieced vests.  
I dont understand paper piecing :(  I am hoping now that the kids are both 
going to school full time and my dad is on an upswing, that I may be able to 
take a few classes, who knows.  I am also considering night school to go back 
for nursing.  I wanted to do that before, but my counselor really pushed 
Computers on me (I have a few weight lifting restrictions), I wish I had not 
listened.  There is such a need for nurses with special diabetes training and 
not too much lifting is required for that.
 PK> Or a soda pop?
 TC> Soda Pop will do just fine, in this heat, WHO NEEDS COFFEE! :) 
 PK> I drink sodas all year round.  Don't care for coffee.  
 PK> Just color me weird!
What color is weird?  I would really like to know. :>
I am starting a new project tonite.  I am making pieced ties.  I bought some 
fabric at WalMart for my boys.  I am using two tones of blue and gold.  Then 
leaving a space on the GOLD (which is a solid fabric) for TBS class of 04. :)
Hoping that the other students will see him and want to buy them.  I figure 
they ALL have to wear them on Wednesdays, so why not wear SCHOOL colors?  ANd 
a decent tie runs about $12, so if I sell mine for $7.50, it will be a deal
