Side Winder....Serious Xmas gift for fly tyers

Sounds great, Val, but there are no fly tyers around here. If you think of a practical application of the Side Winder for moonshiners, please do let me know. Polly

"Val" I was sorting thru my fly tying stuff this afternoon (I'm getting rid of it

Polly -- you bring a smile to me with almost every post of yours I read! What fun it would be to meet you in person and really see if you are as "ornery" and funny as it seems! What a wonderful sense of humor you have!!!!!

Let me know when you got meet Polly Kate. I'd love to tag along! If we aren't laughing until we cry with her posts, we are tearing up with her , perfectly said, wonderfully heartfelt posts.

Phooey on a Houston or Paducah meet up- let's all meet up at Polly's house! We can surprise her! VBEG

I meant..."go to meet Polly" sheesh.

Ohhh wouldn't that be a blast!!!!?????

Welcome. Please do plan to arrive before dark. Polly

But I believe there are-----isn't it about time for Frank to pop up with questions of what to get Brenda? I think he goes by "flytier", or something like that. Gen

Howdy!

Wait 'til you see what she has to say about religion and Allah.

Some sidewinder's loose among us and playing all kinds of non-quilting games. Meanwhile our own dear Polly is probably making Barbie's trousseau by the dozens. What does a southern &/or Mississippi trousseau include?

R/Sandy --imagining a small pink plastic trunk filled w/ the requisite number of quilts, linens, petticoats & pedal-pushers to start life in the Barbie McMansion.

Don't need one and I just love it for winding my thread. Sure does do it fast and saves my motor for other things, like makeing blocks and quilts. I also don't have to top and rethread my machine. I know some of you don't have to worry about the rethreading, but some of us do.

Barbie's finally done. Had to go shopping for another Barbie. I have great sympathy for folks hunting for good toys this year. The Barbie we bought to send to the shelter looked okay at first glance. When I unboxed her - good grief at the plastic tacks and tags and rubber bands that methinks are dangerous - I discovered that she was flimsy/crappy and had to go hunt one that would survive the rather strong-handling that she can expect from a little one. This Barbie has a lovely veil, bouquet, gown, seriously ruffled can-can petticoat, pantaloons and underpants. Since little girls prefer their dolls stripped rather naked, all of the clothing had to be sturdy and easy for little hands to put on and off. I ask myself why I do this and remember the joy our little girls had with their bride dolls. I'll probably keep doing it. Maybe I'll start earlier. Polly (SpellCheck doesn't know what a can-can is but I suspect some of you do.)

"Sandy Ellison" Howdy!
