"Time Wasting Rules" - from Real Simple Magazine - NOT GOOD!
"Cheryl S." wrote in message ... I've got several half-finished counted cross stitch projects. Never seem to make it further than half way on anything though. CCS is the only thing I've ever learned how to do with a needle, other than the simplest button or seam repair. Think small [projects]. Bookmarks, 4x4 inch items. Those tend to come together quickly and you can actually finish them in the same year [BTDT]. Also, if you like counted xstitch: consider blackwork [which is often not in black]. It is fun and you don't have to worry about misplacing color, just following the stitching diagram for placement. They come out quite beautiful and there are many patterns available on line for free. -Aula --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Since I haven't needed to be one in awhile, I remember how much work it is, but not that I enjoy it. Phoebe *introvert by temperament, extrovert by sheer force of will* I'm a really strong T and J, a so-so N (I even forget what the 'N' is...), but once I tested as an ESTJ. I've been (I think) accurately described by a friend as a "gregarious loner". I can be very outgoing as long as I have that cave to retreat to and enough time in it. Banty |

In article , "just says...
"Banty" wrote in message ... Some day, some day, I would just LOVE to say something like "oh, foo - you can party ANYTIME...how about joining me and starting an embroidery project of your own - I can show you this new stitch I'm using from a book on Turkish embroidery - 'sira ishi'..." Let's start a revolution! I'd love to learn Turkish embroidery........ I picked up a book on it (now somewhat buried 10 years of behind unsorted kid crafts, fittingly). On an aside, have you ever visited rec.crafts.textiles.needlework? They do get a lot of off topic discussion going, but I have found some helpful information there that I'd never find in most RL settings. If you can wade through the OT stuff it is interesting. No time for either :-( Banty |

Clisby OK -- I'll admit to being an ENFP, as well as a quilter, beadworker, and embroiderer. Surely there are some other E's at least (if not FP's) out there! Tina. |

What is it with the word "sad" in these bf discussions?? Even when talking
to another bfing woman, if something isn't quite in place, it's said to be saaaaaaaaaadddd. I use the word "sad" because it expresses how I feel. What word would you suggest? Why does "sad" irritate you?

"Clisby Williams" wrote in message ... I would think most people who liked CCS would probably like needlepoint as well. I've done needlepoint where I took the design from a CCS book. I would think that the patterns would be pretty much interchangeable other than blackwork. I have not done needlepoint in years but I've often pondered the close similarity of the two crafts. -Aula --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

omg, did you know it was *encouraged* to give your 2 month old phenergan!!!! Michelle The anti-nausea drug? Seriously? Do I even want to know why you were encouraged? Did it have to do with sleep or something? Every time I've taken it, I'm so loopy that I just sleep for about six hours. Meredith -- Mom to limping-boy and smiley-girl |

Hmmm . . . I am an INFJ . . . am I the only one here? And I am very "I." I have always felt bf was great for my introversion, because when my babies were small I could use it as an excuse to leave the room and get away from everyone for awhile. I think being an 'I' can be really nice for moms of newborns. When I see the complaints about moms who can't get anything done and can't go anywhere because the baby wants to nurse constantly - well, I understand in my head, but not in my heart. When Gabe was at that stage, I just got a lot of books from the library (or sent DH to the library with a list, as the library was across the street from his work) and read alllll day. I thought it was heaven - I had a great excuse to do nothing but devour books! : ) -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net |
