In a regular craft store, needle sizes,16-20 will work for looming and much more. Metal holds up better than plastic.
I bet I told you about this store, because they have my book on plastic canvas!

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

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!
