Victor this is the CRAFTING echo. Now I know that some people take meeting others (especially those of the opposite sex) as a craft and do it quite well, this is NOT the type crafting this echo is for. If you do any kind of hand-work, such as quilting, cross-stitching, etc. you may stay, BUT ONLY IF YOU STAY on topic. Otherwise TAKE THESE CONVERSATIONS BACK TO THE ECHO THEY BELONG IN. I would really appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

The cards are JT> then delivered within the church by the women's circle [ or youth JT> group, etc] as a fund raiser. Everybody wins, and the names of JT> unfamiliar members are even sometimes learned. This sounds so neat! Now I have two ways of doing this. I do want to involve the youth group so that they will have a part of "giving" to others to do, not just "recieving". I will discuss these ideas with the secretery at church. Thanks for the ideas, Jeannelou. take care, Wanda ...

Since this is the beginning of 1998, I thought that I could get a list of whomever has been baptized this year, and make a bookmark with the date and name on it. Then, Bill wants to make a self-stick card to put in their bible that matches the bookmark. We remember birthdays, right? A baptizm is an important date too! I've learned sort of how to make tassels, and can put them on the end of the bookmark. What projects are you working on now? take care, Wanda ... Run for your lives!

Takes about a day, depending on weather. They do in fact however burn better after a month or so. I suppose any remaining moisture has leached out so that you get no smoke (or little if you have added lots of scent). If you make some candles, and want to burn on same day, just tuck it in the freezer for a few hours after mostly solid to complete the cooling of the candle core. How long does it take before it is mostly solid? Depends on how thick the candle is. Most of mine are 3 inch diameter and take 3 hours for the center to be solid (mostly) and ready for the fridge/freezer. Advise not putting it in there before this and do stand it 'upright' or you could get a nasty suprise of leaking wax all over your foodstuffs!

I'm a tad older, and also in the Navy. Do you perchance make shadowboxes like so many do? I made something just recently for a shipmate who is retiring after 20 years. It was a brass bell, attached to a wooden placard with a brass commemorative plack of his service. Looks rather good and I am thinking of making one for my own home. The only problem will be finding a brass bell that was so *perfect*. I mean, a real live one, obviously exposed to years of salt air and spray, yet lovingly polished. Oh, this is the crafting confernce, so here we talk about one another's handmade crafts. If you want to chatter on other things, just post a note in one of the military conferences. xxcarol --- Telegard v3.09.b15 * Origin: SHENK'S EXPRESS Norfolk VA 757-486-3057 28.8 Dual (1:275/100) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 172 CRAFTING Ref: F2F00000 Date: 02/10/98 From: VICTOR ANDREWS Time: 08:44pm \/To: PAT KNOX (Read 1 times) Subj: Sorry I promise that I will keep on topic of this Echo.
