Bargello Quilting

noellevandiver @noellevandiver (19) • United States 22 Nov 09

Has anyone ever used the Bargello method of quilting? I heard about it yesterday from an avid quilter. I would like to make my first quilt. Although I've been sewing for a LONG time, I don't want to do anything too complicated...

What is your favorite craftstore

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 21 Jun 09

I visit the craft store 3 to 4 times per month. I tend to prefer shopping at Hobby Lobby. I shop at Michaels also, but when I need anything I tend to go to Hobby Lobby first. It seems the store lay out is really easy to maneuver....

noellevandiver The closest craft stores are Michaels and AC Moore, so I go to them a lot. (Always with a coupon!) I buy yarn & jewelry-making supplies, and the selection is different at each one. Seems like I have to shop around to find what I want, which can be a little...

Selling on Blogger.com

noellevandiver @noellevandiver (19) • United States 17 Nov 09

Does anyone here sell products on Blogger.com using the Google checkout buttons? If so, how well have you done? Are people willing to purchase products from a blog site? I have not done it myself, but I am curious.

Have you purchased any super deals online recently?

noellevandiver @noellevandiver (19) • United States 10 Nov 09

I purchased this "Dalmation Jasper" and Sterling Silver pendant on Ebay for less than $6! Isn't it cool? I love gemstones and sterling silver mixed together. What kind of awesome deals have you puchased online recently?

If so, what industry do you work in? I've been working in the pharmaceutical industry as a Statistical/SAS programmer for 12+ years. It's very much in demand in the drug industry, but I would like to work with marketing data. I...

Does anyone enjoy Amigurumi?

noellevandiver @noellevandiver (19) • United States 20 Oct 09

A discussion for people who like to make and/or buy crocheted amigurumi dolls or stuffed animals. Do you make your own without a pattern, or do you use patterns? Show us your cutest stuff and/or comment on amigurumi.

noellevandiver Hi there! The only stitch I use for Amigurumi is the single crochet. If you've ever made a hat before, that should help (knowing how to crochet in circles). Patterns can be quite confusing sometimes, so that's why to me it's easier without one. At least you...

Would you wear Over-the-knee Boots?

Lxandra79 @Lxandra79 (1535) • United States 26 Oct 09

Most boots come to the ankle, mid-calf or just below the knee. But the latest style of boots breaks that knee threshold and lands somewhere around mid-thigh. At least it'd be super warm in winter, right? I personally think its...

noellevandiver My sister has tried crocheting too, but she just can't do it. I did teach her how to knit, and she finds it much easier. I think for some people, it's very hard to figure out how to hold the yarn. She's really taken off with knitting, though! She has made some...

She is one of my favorite singers! My mom used to play her records, and I just adore her smoky, sultry voice.

noellevandiver No, not really. Every once in a while, I go in the store and browse...but I'm reminded of one time when I went in to shop for bras. I was looking for my size, and the sales lady asked me what size I needed. She said, "Oh, it'll be down here in the...

noellevandiver @noellevandiver (19) • United States 2 Nov 09

Does anyone else enjoy browsing online stores that carry indie fashion labels? I love to go to Pixie Market and ModCloth to see all of the cute stuff they have. Some of it is pretty wild and funky, but it is so much fun. Does...

noellevandiver Unfortunately, I have very sensitive skin, so I have to be very careful with body lotions. I do, however, LOVE the scent of Dove Cool Moisture (in the green bottle). It's my favorite! They make lotion, body wash, and shampoo/conditioner in the scent, which...

North Carolina...like it or love it?

kater16123 @kater16123 (6) • United States 21 Jan 09

I like it because this is my current home and my career is here. I love it because it is quiet, interesting, and shows great spirit for so many causes (sports, politics, kids, basketball, and travel). What do you think?

4 responses

noellevandiver North Carolina is a wonderful state. I'm a little biased, because I'm a native born in Raleigh. Many people from all over the US have discovered it as well; it seems like they are moving here in droves! We still have small towns, rural communities, and the...
