HI Penny,
 PP>     You never know Gail.... what I may find.... Up to my arm pits is
 PP>     right.... At least it doesn't stink right now... ;)  I thought of
 PP>     you this weekend and wondered what you were up too.... hope you were
 PP>     good.
I'm fine... I've been keeping busy working on a hardanger piece, just putting 
the finishing beads on it today. Hopefully I'll complete it today and send it 
out the owner for next week. I hope she likes what I've done.
I'm so glad to hear that you will be closer to your son! even if living at 
home fulltime doesn't work out.
 PP>     want him there as a goal for his future.  We told them that we
 PP>     wanted him home by the time he was eleven.... He will be eleven this
 PP>     summer. :)  If we would have stayed here in Watertown another year
 PP>     or two... Maybe DJ would have come home but probably not... So the
 PP>     timing is impecable.... (God's timing!)  Anyway I am happy....
Enjoy him while you can, they grow up so fast!!! My youngest are now 16!!
 GC> As for Emblishments, I'm on row three. I've got a couple of other
 GC> projects I'm working on so it has taken a back seat lately.
I don't even want to think about how many times I've ripped this row out!
I think I got a "keeper" done now, just add the second color and get the 
alphabet done. Maybe this weekend? I don't know... we will see.
 PP>     Well I am glad that everyone is having so much fun with the
 PP>     sampler... Have you all discussed another stitch along for the next
Yes, a canvas one by a Canadain designer but I don't remember her name. I'll 
send the info along to you when I'm on the internet and remember to send it 
:-(
I bought two new small beading needles and I've lost them already.... the 
regular ones never disappear because they are so long, but those itty bitty 
ones have legs :-) no biggy, go spend another buck for a couple more!
I'm busy making ribbon earrings too! So I can't say I'm bored but I'm almost 
over busy!!!
Have you started the Dawn Lewis sampler yet? I would like to do that one too 
I think..... you mentioned that you had mailordered for the material and 
floss...
Are you any closer to the Spirit of Cross Stitch shows? I would love to go to 
one! Perhaps I can plan a holiday around one some year... Bonnie Wag goes to 
one with Aggie and Vikki every year!
 PP>     I will and thanks for your friendship!
 
Ditto
Gail
