I started tatting a little bit last year and I love it. It's so easy to do and there's so many different things that you can make with it. Although I'm not very good at it. Basically it's using crochet thread and a tatting needle...

sehlers I just started tatting. I picked up a book with a DVD called "Learn to Tat" by Janette Baker. The DVD has been huge. Trying to find a tatting shuttle locally has been an adventure. I struck gold finally though. There's a Scandinavian craft store in Minneapolis...

Help! My cat won't leave the sofa alone! He will scratch it whenever I'm not looking. I've already bought him two EXPENSIVE scratching posts but he won't touch them. Me and Mr Cat have had several heart-to-heart talks but that...

sehlers If you're home, the squirt him with water thing works well. For when you aren't home, I've found that sprinkling ground cayenne pepper on the area the cat is scratching stops them too and won't hurt the sofa. Also, rub catnip on your scratching posts to make...

sehlers I'm kind of freaky about chicken being undercooked, since I've gotten really sick a couple of time from undercooked chicken. So, instead of cooking it to the point of extreme dryness, which I used to do, I use a meat thermometer whenever I cook chicken. That...

sehlers Oh, lordy. I had a dad like that, too. According to him, I was stupid, fat, ugly and a waste of space. My younger sister was his golden child. I had to wear her hand me downs, she got whatever she wanted. She'd steal money from him and he'd beat me up for it....

sehlers Thanks for that advice. I'm betting that's where I went wrong. Now I want to go find a shuttle and try again, or maybe try the needle tatting that was in the website you posted. Thanks again!
