I was thinking of asking her that! Linda, have you ever tried plastic camvas, needle point or cross stitch?
They are all related.

Lynda, you are one talented lady. Let me ask you this: What art form do you not do? I figure the list would have to be shorter than asking you about all of the forms of art you can do because it seems that you can do just about anything in the world of arts and crafts. *smile*
Warm regards,
Sahar Husseini

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.
Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."

Sahar, Yes, I wish we could get on a train and go wherever we wanted to go
just like people do in Europe. It is so wonderful, so peaceful, and fun.
Trains and busses - I love them. You can go anywhere you like on a bus or
train - even the smallest vilalges have busses.
Well, I was in my library knitting and I am really tired. As I knitted, I
was listening to a book of poetry put together by the Lake Woebegon guy,
cannot remember his name at the moment as I am nearly brain dead. But, I was
so overcome with the need to begin work on a poem that I dashed down stairs
to my office, turned on the computer and created a list of 42 words, just to
get my brain out of freeze-mode and to begin to work on a poem tonight. The
list is done, tomorrow, i shall use it as the ingredients to write or begin
to write a poem.
