Hi again: I am this week's guest host for WAYWO ( What Are You Working On) which is a Community Diary for all things crafty in a variety of mediums and techniques.
You may volunteer to guest host by signing up at this yahoo group ( http://groups.yahoo.com/....), which is checked from time to time. Also by joining this group, you will receive one email a week when the diary is posted. If you wish to write a WAYWO and would like directions go here: (http://www.dailykos.com/....) I have cleaned the basement---it flooded--needed a new sump pump so no potting or crocheting for a while and the two grandsons have been trying to keep me young 3 days a week!Brought the old sewing machine up from the basement....but since it hadn't been used in almost 20 years...it needed oiling badly. Found a YouTube video that showed exactly how to oil my machine. At first, it still sounded clunky like a bad bearing, so I cried that I ruined my machine and put it away for a while...but not back in the basement!
Then I discovered the Teacher's Conference I was attending in March in Springfield, IL was having a Civil War era "dress-up" dinner and President and Mrs. Lincoln were attending! Oh, I was excited!
BEWARE of SUDDEN IMPULSES!!!!!!
