Hi Sara!

 SG> Hope you're feeling better by now.  Life is pretty quiet but that
 SG> still leaves time for stamping and ribbon embroidery.  The needlework I
 SG> can do on the train to and from work but the stamping has to wait for
 SG> the evenings.
Yes, it would be hard to do much rsing on the train, with all those
stops!    But Jeannelou has done some on Amtrak, I think.
 SG> Recently I tried to do some cards that are folded in 3 and decorated
 SG> on the slant.  I also tried some new large stamps for the front of
 SG> cards. It's fun.
It sounds like it was lots of fun, did you like your finished ones?
I haven't tried anything that complex.  If I wanted it to slant, it
probably wouldn't!  :)
 SG> What are your current projects?
I have some of the Delta Air Dry PermEnamel paints with glass cleaner,
and gloss sealer.  I'm going to try my hand at painting some glass
votive candle holders for Christmas.  I have brushes left over that
I never used, from when I helped a friend with her Cub Scouts.  So I
have those to do.  I need to do that outdoors really and it was the
hottest day of the month out today.  I may wait a couple weeks on it.
Don't know how pungent-smelling that paint and sealer is but I don't
want to asphyxiate Tom!    That would ruin his weekend...
I also have a quilting class coming up.  It's a class in which we will
make a hand-pieced, hand-quilted wall hanging quilt from a block which
we will draft ourselves.  It's 3 hours per night, 4 Tuesdays in Sept.
Ought to be good for me to get out and learn something!  I've never
drafted my own block before.  
I also am still working on the Teddy 9-patch quilt I started several
years ago -- I'm slow!  And I have lots of other projects I can work
at, including some rubber stamping I want to do.  I'm going to make
Christmas foldover cards and homemade stickers to seal them with,
for this coming Christmas.  Some kindhearted soul paid $25.00 for me
to get into the Embossing Powder Co-op, and I'm so thrilled and also
really looking forward to getting those powders so I can get to work
on the cards.  Meantime I think I am going to try making my own
verses and sayings for the insides of the cards, using my calligraphy
pen and some embossing ink, and the powders I already have.  It's
going to take some practice, and with this almost-invisible liquid to
write with, I may not do as well as I want to, but I'm going to try!
Hope you are having a great time crafting!
LadyBear Hugs,
Wendy
