Hi ladies, it's always exciting to get mail from you. I'm already back to my normal schedule (that would be doing what I want when I want...mostly...within reason....certainly when no one is looking ), thanks for asking. I forgot to mention when telling my tales of woe that when I arrived home my own computer was not functioning. It didn't take long to figure out that my keyboard and mouse died while I was gone. Replaced both immediately and not a minute too soon as I was ready to chuck the whole thing across the room and start over. But....I didn't. Now I've got a wireless mouse which apparantly to has a mind of it's own. Seems it jags when I jig.

Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement with the redoing of the older canvases. It's just something different to do and I have fun with it. Not a priority. One of my biggest surprises was that I didn't have any bleeding of either the fibers used or the paint on the canvas when I cleaned and blocked them. I went very gingerly and everything was clean and brighter and didn't fade. They were filthy with household dust, etc. No evidence of smoking either.

I haven't done anything with the two stained glass (the two that go together) canvas' because they seem to be stiffened with something. They were mounted onto what I would call particle board. Anyway I think I will take them to the dry cleaners? Thinking that the dry cleaning would dissolve whatever is making them stiff and then I can re-block them if necessary. I'm just not sure what would happen if I put them into water, but they need cleaning before I can/will handle them.

I have yet to catch up with all of your blogs, that may take a whole day to myself; Pat I quickly went through your blog and cannot believe all the work you've done. You really are a turbo stitcher and living proof that rotation stitching works! Beautiful work. And Jane, I read the latest entry on your blog and instinctively knew that I needed to set aside the afternoon to do justice to all your fabulous links of enabling, I don't want to miss one! And Lesley, can't wait to see what you've been up to lately, love all the photos you provide of your work, totally inspiring and I love the look of your blog and your biscornus are always so unique and wonderful.

I am so happy to be back and looking forward to catching up. Thanks again for taking time to comment. See you online!
