######## A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT #######
Just wanted to remind you that some of your
comments are still not coming through to my
email inbox so I will try my best to reply to
you directly on my blog. Please, if you don't
receive a response, don't think I'm ignoring you!
I appreciate hearing from you so much!!
Alas I seem to have no pictures of my work available to show you today. It's been one of those weeks where I was being 'social' and there was precious little in the way of creativity happening. I can, however, lead you to what I'm working on in the evenings. If you go HERE and scroll down to the bottom and notice the blue and white sweater on the right you'll see. Mine will be somewhat different and I will be sharing a picture as soon as I get it done. Seems to me there's a wee grandson out there that just 'happens' to be a fan of Chase and so a doting grandma can't let this opportunity pass her by.
A bit of a report re 'Jack's balls' - yesterday was laundry day and we gave them a test run. We used two balls per dryer load and they seem to work!! The true test will come in the winter when static is more of an issue but for now we're quite pleased. One of my blog readers (thank you!) said that she uses four at a time with good success so we'll have to keep doing test runs to see what might work best for us. Jack just might have to make some more!

- And also for the knitters, another excellent article HERE for different methods of joining yarn into your project.
- There's a lovely tutorial HERE for making fabric pumpkins for your fall decor (they'd also work as pincushions!).
- Some of you may find THIS post interesting - lots of amazing eye candy!
- I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that there was a soon-to-start alphabet embroidery pincushion stitch-a-long and the first post is today. You can find it HERE.
- Oh my goodness, how many of us would love to have one of THESE? Scroll down for the free pattern.
- Pam Kellogg just released another in her beautiful crazy quilt inspiration book series and you can read more about it (and purchase your own copy too!!) if you go HERE.
In this book Pam features lots (and lots!) of special trinkets she has collected. You know the ones - the things that you've kept for something 'special' and that end up just residing in a box somewhere!
- Perhaps you'd like some of THESE for your fall decor?
- THIS is another great decorating idea if you have access to someone with woodworking skills.
- And, finally, HERE is a fun way to make fibre eyes for a toy for a small child.
Today's quote..."No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all. Integrity is everything"
