OOOH Crissy, wish him luck, will include him in my prayers!  Made it back with what I need to keep me busy, had a carload..got my wood for the birdhouses, then material for Christmas blocks, then the portland cement to go along with my other supplies for hypertufa...you just got to love it when a plan comes together don't you...Barb, any results????All the girls in Fabricland were quite upset today..started Friday sale with everything 30% off..said next Friday it will be 40% off all items and then 2 weeks later 50% then 80% then all must go...from what I got from them, it wasn't the owners of Fabricland that is making them close, it's the mall itself, says they are dividing up the large area they are in and making it into 15 more boutiques..I'd say they are trying to get more $$$ per sq. ft.  All those ladies now looking for employment..really sad...I bought 40 embroidery threads though for a good price...if there are more next week when I'm in I'll pick up another batch..don't use them often but when I do if you don't have proper colors it's expensive...Had stopped raining but looks as though it will start again..might as well get it over with..I brought chinese food home so I'm taken care of for the evening..might just have a bath, sit and mark the dimensions on the wood, no dimensions in the book so I'll be faking it..any advise 'Tubby?' then have an early night and be all gung ho for tomorrow...

Yikes just as I was typing this 1 hr. ago Bernice came over..sat and gabbed, took out all the projects I 've been working on of late, showed her all the quilt blocks I received, did the walk in the garden and it's now 7:30...she went home happy, I had made a beautiful black/maroon quilted sweater a few years back, much too large for me, fit her to a 't' so to her place it went...

Now it's chinese time..yummy/yummy
