If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Latest finish

I finished Furry friends, , a Dimensions kit, earlier this month. I had
taken my 2yo DGD to Nordic Needle and this is what she picked out. She
knew it was to be for her 3rd birthday. The girls at Michael's picked
out the outer matting...fur-textured! It really added to the picture.

Pics posted on rctnp or my Shutterfly acct for your viewing pleasure.

label removal update -

cherylis...@comcast.net (Cheryl Isaak) — Thu, 23 May 2013 10:51:43 UT

well - a combination of things is working - the duct tape thing didn't
work, but I ended up scoring the label and I resprayed with goo-gone
and left it in the sun.
Lo and behold - lifting along the score line. It worked! I've kept at it
now and I'd down to the last little bits. Not too worried about the few

Delurking to answer this. I've missed the last few books so my suggestions may be off.

Have you ever expanded Jill's story? Why she became a police officer? Why her family was unhappy about it? Her sudden bouts of sadness? That was a theme that ran through the first few books but never went anywhere. Now that Jill is a ex-cop SAHM, maybe whatever that issue is could resurface. Maybe a sibling that disappeared when she was young, or a crime that affected child-Jill that is now resurfacing. You could even include Margo in flashbacks as this happened long before Betsy came in. Perhaps that was how Margo became such a good friend to such a reserved young woman. Is that what got the Monday group so close? This might be a good story line to wind up the series.

She might be surprised at the current spate of interest in her blog and
start again! :)

While searching for a House Mouse design, I ran across this blog. Lots
of bad language in it, but she makes her point! lol

Laying Tools

basspoolcr...@mclarens.net (Rich) — Sun, 19 May 2013 14:16:07 UT

Hi, I put up a few pics of a laying tool in my album on yahoo - rctnp.

I have been using one now for a few years and I really like it. I
found it cumbersome at first but now its like having another finger!

only time I don't use it is when I am stitching a small piece in a
hoop or q-snap. then I 'railroad' the stitches.
