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...

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!

I have this sudden urge to make bagels. I'm not really happy with the recipe I have, so I'm hoping someone has a recipe that they adore and are willing to share. Also, if anyone has any tips that they have found helpful in making...

Has there ever been an occasion where you have hit your man, maybe in anger or frustration or because he has done the 'dirty' on you 'mistreated you badly' or has badly 'betrayed' you? How do you lash out? Do you thump him,...

sehlers Ooo, I'll have to look into free counseling through a shelter here. I lost my insurance when I got divorced, so free is good.

sehlers Oh, yeah. My ex tried to make everything my fault. He's the one who needed help, but always blamed me and said I had no right to get angry when he was abusive. He even told me I needed anger management. Well, I did get anger management. I threw his sorry butt...

sehlers I'll have to check those out. I use www.allrecipes.com a lot, but am always on the hunt for more. Would you believe none of my cookbooks has a recipe for bagels? Argh. I'm a geek about making stuff from scratch when I can, especially bread products. I...

Purgatory is actually another misunderstood Catholic doctrine. It's not considered a spiritual jail or hell with parole. And Catholics don't teach that everyone goes to purgatory. The Church actually believes that many people are...

sehlers Ooo, I like the idea of matching the socks to the sweater. I just finished making a lamb for my friend's granddaughter. That was the first stuffed animal I'd ever knit and it turned out pretty well. The granddaughter hugged and kissed it when she got it...

sehlers I don't practice Wicca anymore. I went back to my birth religion. I still do have a healthy amount of respect for it and it's practitioners, though.

sehlers Wicca is a nature-based spiritual system originating in Britain. The best site ever for for learning anything you'd want to know about Wicca/Paganism is The Witch's Voice, www.witchvox.com. Nice folks running that site and it's been around for a very long...

The other day, I hadn't gotten out to water the cows quick enough, and the bull decided to let me know it. He took the water tub, which is a 300 gallon tub, and pushed it over towards the gate to let me know that I was neglecting...

sehlers You know, I hadn't even thought of having trackable cell phones at the houses. Hmmm..... I think I'll bring that up to the boss and she what she thinks. The reloadable ones are pretty cheap.

sehlers Calling an ambulance would have been worse in this case, true. The reason we can't have cell phones at this job is because there were several employees who were abusing them. They'd talk on their cells instead of taking care of the residents, so unfortunately...
