Are you kidding me? 516 posts and 17 pages on a new thread before I checked in again?!! Never been this late before.
First of all, MrsBrommers is the unfortunate winner of the 'most dreadful news' post in this thread so far. I cannot believe what you've been dealing with in multiple illness/disaster/disease category. Have you had anyone checking mould in the house? Or water, pipes, heating system? It just doesn't sound normal. MAJOR hugs to you.
OL, I hope you found your sister's cat. Such a huge worry.
lwalker, HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!
There's a lot of talented people here -- does anyone know anything about felting? My son has a beloved felt pig and the ears are falling off. They weren't sewn on, and I can't figure out how to stick them back on. Any ideas?
Phoenix, until I read the rest of it, I thought there might actually be an animal called a felting pig. In the split second while I paused to contemplate this creature, I was trying to imagine whether you sheared or combed them to get the felt. Clearly I know nothing about felting.
This thread can run, but it cannot hide!
But it tried.
LRB, thank you so much, sweetie, for updating book stuff. Especially sweet of you to add my book award!
Late to hair topic, but I remember thinking as I approached 40, well, I guess it's goodbye long hair for me. Never happened. Then at 50, I thought, surely I'm long enough in the tooth that this just isn't age-appropriate any more. And now at *
mumble mumble* I'm still wearing the long hair and just hoping my hairdresser (who is very outspoken) will tell me when it's time. Age is just not the same any more.
I'm in the home stretch on houseguests! Niece, boyfriend, nephew went on Sunday and I just have my sister and her husband left. They are so easy, but still require a good chunk of my time (voluntarily) to entertain and show them places they haven't been before. I will miss them when they leave, but I may hug my house. Six weeks is a long time to have continuous company and as many as eight at a time.
