Hi Janis,

JK> Heh :) To some of us, yes :) I enjoyed learning Greek, it was very
JK> interesting to me :) I only made it through a bit of Hebrew

JK> of my favorite subjects.
Steve has had to take the above as part of his M.Div program. He thought
Hebrew would be harder so took it first; turned out Greek was he harder
of the 2. If I had to take a language, I'd probably not take any other
classes in that time so I could devote all my study time to learning it.

JK> That's fantastic :) Congratulations are in order, Hebrew II :) :) Not
JK> an easy thing to accomplish :)
No, but better than Greek III. The last week of his class I will be
taking an education class. Either we plan to eat out a lot or have very
simple stuff to cook that week. It's the week after I get back (on
Friday) from AZ.

Make a list of what's in each cabinet and tape it to the inside of the
door. List by shelf; I did that a couple of times and it saved my
sanity. I could open the door, look at the list and not have to rummage
thru the cabinet only to find out what I wanted wasn't in that one.

Doing pretty good so far.

JK> > Just so long as you plan to keep it that way for a good long time.
JK> Probably, at least that computer room as a bathroom :) That will be

JK> room.. easier for me at least (grin). Perhaps we'll make what is now

Sounds like a good idea to me, especially having a large pantry. I could
use one but will settle for what I have here for now.

We've decorated quite a bit here--helps to break up white walls. The
kitchen has tea towels I got in Germany & England hung (with a casing on
slats with Command hooks). They're useful too; they're printed with herb
& spice use and other information.
JK> "wiggle > room" to set up the cutting table fully. Most of the time I

JK> No doubt. And then you'll be able to set things up as you like.
Yes, in time. I may go over to the church fellowship hall to cut one 6
yard length I need to for a baby project. Have to cut the fabric
lengthwise. May also lay out some quilts over there too as there's more
room to set up several tables side to side and end to end.

Just checked my newest "Sewing with Nancy" (Nancy's Notions) catalog and
didn't see them there. You should be able to find them at a decent sized
fabric store, especially if they sell sewing machines and sergers there.
IIRC, they're fairly reasonable in price.

I'd have probably done the same thing. As is, now when we find a sale,
I'll pick up different colors. I start with a light, medium and dark of
basic shades and expand from there.

JK> That sounds very nice :) I think the 350 has a similiar preset
JK> design... now I'll have to check it out. Your stitch sound really
JK> nice though :)
I've got a nursery set to do but after that, I may give it a try. While
I was in LV, I cut out a dress Rachel had meant for Sarah but will now
go to Audrey. Either that or the jumper & jacket I cut out for Sarah
will probably get the initial try out.

Better than the sort by color, keep all of one color, no matter what

Into the kitchen as well? Must have been funny but frustrating at the
same time.
