Walmart and all of the craft stores sell these items and you won't need to 
pay more for shipping than the item costs. If you were ordering from 
Horizones, it's a good thing. But, to just order those small items is 
expensive. I keep a shopping list of all the things I need and then look 
over the whole list when I'm out.

Hello All:

During Tuesday night's class we were discussing where to get extra loom 
tools and needles.  I just found the tools on Horizons catalog and a couple 
needles that I think might be what we are looking for.

Here is the information; I copied and pasted it from the catalog.

KNIFTY KNITTER LOOM HOOK: W3702003001; $1.20

Yarn Needles, 13-152: W7505; $.89

Yarn Needles, 16-161: W7506; $.89

Does anyone know if these are the plastic kind we use with the looms?

Now I'm not sure who first told me about Horizons for the Blind, but it is 
getting me into lots of trouble!  I've already orders several books and am 
getting ready to order a flower loom, the hook, the needles and a couple 
more books.  I sure hope nobody tells me about more websites with things I 
think I need on them. Lol

Nella

gardening. Tonight's chat

Hi Y'all,

Did anyone listen to the Hadley seminar today, Eat Your Veggies?  I did and 
it was really good.  Ed Haynes (not sure if that's the right spelling) 
talked about container gardening and told about 2 types of plants, along 
with some others, that are grown in the Mediterranean that are pretty easy 
to grow: cima di rapa a type of green that matures in 25 days and a type of 
kale.  The seminar will be up on the Hadley site in a few days and they will 
have a list of resources.  Ed said he will post where to get the seeds for 
these plants.  The rest of the seminar was about how to prepare vegetables 
and then about being vegetarian.  There was a different Hadley instructor 
for these two areas.  It was really good, especially about the container 
gardening.

Sophie is sort of like
that!
She knows when it is time for her
Mommy to come home.  I think she listens for the Metro  Access van to pull 
up and then she comes to greet me at the  door!
I love to play ball with her, in the
apartment.  I have to use my walker to walk with Henry and
4 paw drive, when we take walks together.  She always likes  to take the 
lead.  It is hard for me to take the lead, when  I am trying to teach Henry 
a new path.
I
call Sophie our challenger dog, because she makes me  walk  around her or 
step over her.  I sure am glad she is  black!  I wonder if she understands 
that I can not see  well, too.
I can handle her on leash with or
with out my walker, until my sister pulls up.  Then she  goes crazy.  She 
wants to go and visit my sister's  dog.  She seams to understand me using 
the walker, because  her previous mommy used a wheel chair.  I  love my 
baby, even though she is afraid of thunder!

Henry:

No, Hank is a mixed breed that I adopted from  the humane society.  He 
weighs about 40 pounds and has very  short hair.  His markings are something 
like a Collie.  He  has a docked tail and ears that stand up part way and 
then  flop over.  Everyone seems to think he is some type of  terrier mix. 
He has a lot of energy and personality.  He  can be very stubborn, was hard 
to train, but he is very  sweet.  He loves everyone except squirrels and any 
other  critter that doesn't belong here.  Hank is very  athletic, can jump 
very high and will even try climbing  trees when after a squirrel. lol

He can be grumpy with other dogs.  I have a  pet GSD that he is friends 
with.
He is also
weird with cats; I have house cats that he likes, but a  stray cat better 
not get in the yard.  He is very observant  and watches everything.
He lets me know when
something isn't right around here.

Besides me my Dad is his favorite person in the  world.  Dad lets Hank 
squish into the recliner with him.  It is pretty funny.  Hank knows the 
sound of Dad's  truck and goes nuts as soon as Dad pulls in the the drive. 
He is almost uncontrollable until Dad gets in the door and  says hi to him.

Hank is a
special dog and it takes a special person to love him.
Lol

Oh, and Hank says to
tell you he is top dog!

They are quite cute; I have to
families of red squirrels living in the yard.

They love to torment my poor
dog Hank.  He thinks he's supposed to be a  squirrel dog and spends his life 
dashing around  after them.  They get real  close to him,  taunting him and 
then dash up a tree.  Hank is one  frustrated  pup!

When my x was still
around, he used to fead the squerls and they would come  right to the patio 
door.  Once, one got in the  apartment and we did not know  it and he ate 
up all our house plants.  It was not easy to get him  out.
They like to hide!
We
sure were lucky we were not bitten!

Terry P.
I will say, it was
cute seeing them come up to the door, for their peanuts!

Now, can't you just see Jill with her her  hands around the neck of a 
squirrel  ,  shaking him & saying, "That'll teach you to get  my tomatoes!
Now you must die!!!!"

Hahaha
