Not sure whether to try dry cleaning, washing, foam cleaners etc or which would be the best. I am in Australia so info
on local products would be most helpful Thanks in anticipation. Steve [/quote:f04ee9c804] Many of these can be washed,
but we need to know EXACTLY what they are made of, and whether there are any non-fiber (i.e., pearls, beads etc.)
incorporated. Just recently, a friend brought me some embroidered pix which had been through Katrina flooding and
coated in the "toxic soup" and I got them clean and ready for framing again. HOWEVER, the way we treat them
depends totally on the fiber and embellishment content. Give us all the details, and we can tell you how to handle
the task. Olwyn Mary in New Orleans. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

the pink squares in the 'frame', and some in the center. The multi colored variegated is #088 Mountain Meadow from the

(needlepoint ribbon, frays easily and catches on the *slightest* bit of rough skin!!!). The beads are Mill Hill
[/quote:739fcb54a4] My first painted canvas - I did in Watercolours. It's actually pima cotton, and for those that
haven't used it - very nice in hand. There are some really gorgeous colorways in the Caron collection. And for NP,
it's really nice to mix some of the different textures - because of the size of ground - I think you can do a bit more
than with work on linen - not starting a war here! With the Neon Rays - isn't that fun - you can wipe that with a damp
sponge before stitching. And, some people put a drop of fray check on the end, aside from it always seems to me that I
waste as much as I stitch. But it does give a nice look. If you're interested in some different thread, texture
combinations you can look on the ANG web site - one of the cyber or correspondence classes by Suzy Chaleff, called Log
Cabin II - I did it as a correspondence - or should say it's an almost finished WIP. Just take a look - I'm sure you
can find some other pattern books for NP that are similar to what you did, etc. *snip* [quote:739fcb54a4] I have decided
to have it framed (pillows = cat hair magnets in this house), with a green frame that is *very* close in color to the

framing is on order, and in the meantime I have time to fix a couple more boo-boos I noticed while trying to decide on
the frame/matte color combo (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr). . Sounds really nice - sure you'll love it when it's up on the

for a million bucks. That is a point, Dianne. Do you rotate what's out vs what's hidden away? ellice I live in a
very dusty environment: sandy soil. Even though we have a very expensive air filter, it doesn't help. So, I keep most
of my "pretties" behind glass in a cupboard or frame, or hidden away to look at another day. I have a lovely
wool-on-wool cat that has stayed out for a few years, now, and it is looking pretty sad with all the dust. Can't be
washed. It will just sit out until I can't stand it anymore. Vacuuming doesn't help much. [/quote:1c39baa792] I can
completely understand that. We've been in the construction zone for most of this year. With really good air filters.
The house still gets dusty - but it's better than the old house with the more leaky windows. I end up wandering around
with microfiber cloths all the time. And, yes, we have an all glass except the frame largish curio for the sitting room
- so that all the pretties (mostly it's art glass, crystal, and some of my pretties) can be protected from dirt and
Puckster. I keep most stuff in cupboards - never been happy with dishes out in open cabinets. I feel for you with your
dusty cat. When I'm framing stuff it's always a debate - glass or no glass - bbecause of the dust. But, I do use the
Dyson on all the pillows, etc - sometimes with the old pantyhose on nozzle trick. [quote:1c39baa792] Interestingly
enough (along the lines of hidden treasures), we visited my in-laws this summer and I have sent her several embroideries
through the years. I was utterly shocked to see a hand-sewn tea cosie with raised monogram and drawn thread tucks on
top of a shelving unit. I asked mother-in-law where she got such a lovely piece. It was beautifully stitched and
embroidered. She replied: you sent it to me for Christmas a few years back. I knew it had been a rough few years, but
I didn't realize I had gotten *that* bad! I have absolutely no recollection of making it. [/quote:1c39baa792] That's
pretty funny. I'm sure it's gorgeous. And, well, you do stitch a lot. All I've found recnetly was a little piece I did
for one of the SILs, finished the stitching, put on the little buttons, and bought some fabric to make it a little
pillow - totally forgotten. Unpacking one of the tubs from the garage - there it was. Wow - it had been sitting in a
drawer for about 5 years! Silly me - but I'm sure they won't care. Didn't you have a tea cozy that you'd done on your
website back a while ago? I remember thinking it was beautiful. My poor tea cozy is in much need of replacing - the
one I use. But I can't decide what to do - stitch something, quilt something, just throw some fabric and batting
together or what - so I procrastinate. DH "accidently" caught the side of the cozy in the flame from the
stove. My cozy looks like a tiger stripped cat - a friend in England gave it to me, and I've had it about 18 years - so
this made me sad. OTOH, it's done its duty. ellice

about doing one at one of the Sampler gatherings or the like. But, honestly, I wanted the little box, and my nice pin-

of some collected art stuff. So, I'd like to think that the elegant etui, etc could be in there, and I could just
pretend to be a lady and stitch little things in hand while entertaining company... OTOH, the pretty picture - well,
there still is no floor in the LR, I'm still staining furniture in there, and the LR furniture is still stacked up in
the sunroom, and the dog is having a great time sitting on my much cherished Queen Anne chair and ottoman. ellice

[/quote:7459f30411] Sounds like a lovely idea, Ellice, and certainly no more wierd than researching the family tree!
I`ve been doing mine and managing to obtain photos of ancestors I`be never met. Wishing I COULD have met some of them,
too, like my maternal grandparents, both of whom had pretty awful lives from what I`ve discovered, poor things. My
grandfather was a tanner and caught an awful skin disease from the hides. At the same time, grandmother had been taken
to hospital with tuberculosis. Grandfather cut his own throat at the ripe old age of 31. The details in the inquest
report are pretty horrendous but the saddest thing is that if only telephones had been available to the ordinary
working man in those days, he might have been able to contact his mother at the other end of the country, instead of
waiting for a letter in reply to his own letter to his mother, asking for help. It`s so very tragic. You go ahead
with it - it would be a lovely tribute, and will probably be much valued by your own descendants if they ever want to
research their family tree. Pat

let others describe how they use them. Dianne -- Embroidery Discussions at http://www.heritageshoppe.com/forum I've
always called those little pieces of left over thread "snippets." I have even gotten a ceramic jar that has
the word snippets painted on it. as a gift. I save those little pieces until I'm finished and a piece is ready for
framing to fill in any single stitches that might have been left undone. Once I'm sure there are no holes to be filled
in, the snippets get tossed out. Lucille I know someone who had a clear Christmas tree ornament, meant to be filled
with the years orts. We all thought it sounded like it would be fun but in actual fact, when full it was not
particularly good looking. She didn't bother to hang it anyway. That's exactly what I thought I'd do with my snippets.
I use an old Pringles can and I put the date on it when I started - 1997!! The can still isn't full - but it's packed
for sure and I give it a *turn* every once in a while just like the compost. I tried out the Christmas ornament thing
and it was u g l y .. so I just keep adding to the can. Whatever will I do with them when the can is full? Sharon

LOL - the Woodbridge in Northern Virginia bears little resemblance to the one you're referring to. However - it is kind
of near the Occoquon River. South of the DC beltway, north of Quantico, and very near a really, really huge outlet mall.
Charming - not a word I'd think of when thinking of Woodbridge - it's really a suburb with a horrid commute into DC
because there's really only either the one interstate in, or Rt 1 with a zillion stoplights. But, it's been growing the
last couple of years. e

I do use them for all of my framing. I rarely sb shop in there though. They just don't have much selection. Oh yeah, I
do like their Christmas village stuff too. I didn't read the article but it doesn't sound too good to me. Wonder
whatever happened w/ the ACMoore rumors. Maybe they couldn't come up w/ billions. Katrina in KS

someone to hire who will actually do the job correctly. In more and more cases I'm finding I have to do a job myself to
get it done right. In once case I had an auto repair done several times by several different dealers (some under
warranty) that all failed again in short order. I finally got fed up and did the job myself, found evidence of how
incompetent they were while tearing into it myself and have not had a recurrence of the problem since I fixed it
correctly myself. Pete C.

3 houses including one 3 storey one of 5400 sq ft. That taught me not to build houses. Unfortunately I found a lovely
piece of land on waterfront. I could afford the land and some building materials. I couldn't afford to pay for labour
unless I sold one of my other properties, which I wasn't going to do. So, I built another house. At least I knew exactly
what I was getting myself into. Finished the house then started on the shop (I built a small temporary shop first, of
course). I did contract out the slab for the big workshop, tho. There's 20 cubic metres of concrete in the slab on top
of the 16 cubic metres in the footings. The rest I'm doing myself. People like us *can* do it if we have to or want to.
Others - can't. I've gotten a great deal of amusement watching the architect g/f of a friend of mine realise just how
limited her knowledge base was when it came to actually building a place. She & he have managed to build a 24' x 20'
shed in the same time I built a house. I had to lend them some tools, teach them how to use others and explain why,
sometimes, 'near enough' is ok if 'perfect' is going to take 10X as long. Also that hand sanding boards with 400 wet
& dry isn't a real productive activity :-) Better to go 80 grit, 120, 180 etc. And use a power sander, or better
still, paint it & forget it. It was only a facia board after all.... My 3 kids have no real interest in the skills
I have, and I've never barred them from the workshop. Rather play computer games. Of my siblings, I was the only one to
have an interest in this sort of stuff. Lots of tools about. Shrug. I forsee an interesting retirement fixing stuff for
my daughters in the years to come, assuming that their eventual partners turn oout as useless as the majority these
days. If they can find me when they need me, that is. PDW

[quote:cb03f6525e] It's disapointing that in the four or so years that I've had a shop in my garage, not one kid has
asked me anything about it. Jeff Polaski [/quote:cb03f6525e] I hadn't thought of that. My neighbors always pop in to
see what is going on (65+), but never a kid from the neighborhood. I can remember as a child, going to the garage that
was making the most noise. Grinding sparks could draw me blocks! I always wanted to weld, but didn't try it until I was
over 40. Damn I was missing some fun. I also spent MANY summer days watching the construction of the homes in my
area. I am sure I bugged the crap out of the guys, but there is not a construction project I won't take on because of
inability. I have done everything for a large addition. Including digging for the footings by hand! Ok, to prevent
some of the backlash--- I was in no hurry, and I could only get something that was 3½ feet wide in the backyard, so I
dug it by hand. And for the rest of you--- my community allows homeowners that can show competency the option of
pulling a "homeowner" permit for all phases. So I had to do that for footing/stem wall, rough framing, rough
plumbing, rough electrical, final plumbing, and final electrical. Damn expensive for all those permits, but I did it
legal.

Posted by Paulette Insall on Fri Sep 15, 2006 7:01 AM    Post subject: AD: New beads/pendants on Ebay & new art prints

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around much. I've just had too many things going on lately. Hoping things will kind
of slow down a bit now that Aiden's started preschool...which has been a huge adjustment for us...well probably more
for me. LOL! But on the bright side, I'm hoping it will give me more time to create. Only time will tell... Well I'm
now so totally obsessed with doing off mandrel stuff thanks to a generous demo by the very talented and sweet Andrea
Guarino last month up in Washington. :) So go take a peek at all my off mandrel bead/pendant goodies up on eBay right
now. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZflutterbearies Open my Heart
