Ärende: what goes around.............
=====================================
Hi Nancy,

 RH> I've dabled with other in areas but keep coming back to needle, thread
 RH> and fabric.  Cooking can be fun or a drudge, depending on what I'm
 RH> fixing, what I'm cooking for, etc.  It's fun "playing" with the
 RH> various kitchen appliances I have, especially if most all of it can be
 RH> put into the dishwasher. (G)

 NB> Ny main addictions now are genealogy (also mostly on a back burner for
 NB> now), bbs'ing and reading (which I also haven't really enough time for

I've not done as much with geneaolgy as some of my (extended) family has
but do know a fair amount of the history. Reading is always an interest;
has been ever since I learned how to. My favorite genre is historic
fiction but will read almost anything else (except sci-fi, fantasy,
romance).  A good cook book is fun to go thru. (G)

 NB> much any more).  I used to always have a needlework project to take
 NB> with me to work on when waiting... now I'm more likely to bring along


I still do bring a project, not neccessarily working on it tho.  If
there are interesting magazines in the doctor's office................
I bring a cross word puzzle book at times too.

 NB> unread book or periodical, or the bills that need paying, or some
 NB> other portable task... and less likely to have as much free waiting
 NB> time,
 NB> since I'm usually at the doctor's office (or wherever) with someone
 NB> else I'm bringing there for their appointment, and go in with them to
 NB> make
 NB> sure that everything gets remembered and mentioned.

  Occasionally I
 NB> look at others doing their needlework projects and become a bit
 NB> wistful... ;)

Bring something with you!


 NB>  NB>> For a while I was saving some scraps just for doing a full one
 NB> of my  NB>> own... until I came to my senses...  now I'm just saving
 NB> the scraps  NB>> for some unknown project, whether mine or someone
 NB> else's...  (G)

 RH> I intend to get a number of tops done in the next few months, then
 RH> quilt them when we get resettled. I'll probably save the crazy
 quilt(s) RH> until after the move tho, maybe see if I can add a few
 more "fancies". RH> Most of what's in that box are from garments I've
 made.

 NB> At the rate I'm going, I should let my sisters or nieces, or some
 NB> such, have a gander at my supply to see if there's anything there
 NB> they'd be
 NB> interested in... not likely I'll be using it... I think my fabric

They would probably love the chance to go thru it.  Are any of them into
serious cooking or eating as well?   If so, they're welcome here.


NB> stash dates back 30 years or more... and the last I added to it was at
 NB> least
 NB> 20 years ago now... (G)

You've probably got quite a few interesting ones in it.  If you have any
really young nieces or nephews, you could probably make some interesting
"feely pictures".  Make a "pizza" with corduroy for the crust, a reddish
cotton for sauce, fuzzy orange or red for pepperoni, bits of yellow lace
or crochet cotton for cheese and so on.

Catch you later,
