When i do mental crafting, nothing gets done, i just am inattentive at what ever task is keeping me from actually crafting. I make it a rule not to stay in bed if i am unable to get back to sleep, because i do all my tasks in my head, and then have to get up and do them all over again. I am determined to finish the Ravine of the Elves this year, but with trying to get all the daylilies weeded before the first of July and keeping up the must do work in the house, i haven't even fetched them in from the drying van.

I would bet on your liking it. It's easy and very impressive and I saw you had many offers of help if you get stuck. I grew up near Tremont Avenue and Southern Blvd and then moved to East 216 Street. I graduated from Evander Childs High School and City College...but that was long ago. Now I live in Glen Ridge, New Jersey about 15 miles west of the LIncoln Tunnel. My parents are visiting from Florida. I made embossed cards with my mother and my new 6 year old grand daughter. Next I'll show them ribbon embroidery and make some magnets with beads you heat. That's an easy project for young children. Have fun.

I'll send the other recipe tomorrow as I LT > am out of time online today. Thanks for the recipe. Is the borax found in the washing powder section of the grocery? I wonder if acrylic paint could be used for colouring instead of the food colouring so that it wouldn't stain. I've seen the acrylic paint used in the bread dough recipe (one slice of bread crusts removed, and 1 tblsp Aleene's tacky glue) and it doesn't stain their hands when working the paint in, so that the colour is even and then when forming the flower, bead etc. ttyl Donna --- FMail 0.98 * Origin: (1:3634/12.35)
