Busted - I was SO busted

I can hide you out if you need a place. Or you could just send your stash and I would be glad to store it for you till this blows over, or until I need a color.

Then again, do I really want to get in the middle of a floss war. After all, Oh what a tangled web we weave, etc., etc.

Lucille lol

Possession is 9/10 of the law, is it not? {VBEG}

Uh, Mickey gave them to you just before she moved because she couldn't take everything. Yeah, that's it. They're not yours, you're just safekeeping them for a friend.

I just might take you up on it! Cheryl

Ah - that's the ticket!

Cheryl

ROFLMAO - you have not trained that girl well! Hmmm - how to explain that she can't have all the cute things you make for her if she shows EVERYTHING to her dad. Just tell DH that your long-distance pal sent a bunch of stuff in the last package!

I'm glad DH just gave the big sigh when bringing up the 2 tubs to join their mate in my office. And thankful that I packed my studio/office and not him

- and he didn't really notice - HAH - the very large but light weight cartons. I'll definitely be unpacking the rest in private.

"But the LNS in was closing down and practically giving the stock away."

LOL! I know someone (who shall be nameless, but you know who you are!) who gets her DD to intercept the post if she knows she`s going to receive a chocolate care package at any minute!

Pat

He really didn't b*tch too much - I pointed out that ALL the floss cost about as much an engine for his train collection. Cheryl

Being first to the mail is rarely a problem!

This is the time for a variation of what you say the first time you wear a much-too-expensive new dress: "This little thing? Oh, I've had it for ages."

Dude has no clue what over-dyes cost. He's helped a DD purchase DMC for Xmas for me, so assumes all floss is about 25-50 cents a skein. I have seen no reason to disillusion him!

Caryn p.s. We have a new very comfy sleeper sofa if you need it. You can get a great laugh out of my "garden"

Hey - not until she comes and helps me finish planting the stuff still in containers! The Macoun apple tree we thought we'd killed has now bloomed all new leaves - so I guess we have to plant it ;^)

DH here just doesn't even look anymore... He knows what canvas costs - at least wholesale....

ellice

Hmmm -that's a thought....

In the spring, I'll send some stuff!

Snicker - it'll be warm while I'm shivering!

Quit snickering - I'll be sweating digging holes and lifting out boulders of all sizes to finish this planting. And, now - suddenly grass is blooming in the new planter bed that the patio guys had left cleared of vegetation, and then mulched. So, I guess I'll lift the mulch, amend the stupid soil, and finally plant some bulbs. Suggestions - it's about 4'-5' by 10' - I want it to be my little cutting garden. Good sun - facing south - and is a little area against the house - kind of cut out of the patio.

Can I just say - I hate our builder. Our at least the horrible nursery excuse they hired to do the landscaping.

And now back to pictures of Cheryl huddling with her overdyes stuffing the pockets of her jacket to take on her various rink travels. Yeah - that's the ticket - tell DH it's a new way to stuff things and keep warm.

Later, ellice

I was going to say... like nobody else in that house has hobbies?

I love my DH. I said something one time about how much money I was spending on embroidery stash and he responded "yes, but you're so much nicer to live with since you started doing that, it's worth the money." It really has been a stress reducer for me.
