    What did she think i was??? Had an all white home so she could see the germs on things.
    I drove a school bus part time, did she think all those kids didn't have germs?

    Is the sewing a home ec. class?
    hum Lynne as a school bus driver....... That explains a lot Lynnie. LOL> hugs sweetie. Everyone have a great evening. Mary

    I received a chicken pkg today. Just got it before the post office closed. I had a great day with a friend. She took me out for lunch and then we went to a quilt shop.

    Nh native had my name for the needle book swap. Well she gave me so much! She gave me a chicken shaped needle book that was just adorable. It has a sewn in tape measure. Of course, plenty of room for needles and a pocket in the back trimmed with rick rack. She also sent a matching hen pincushion, which was just so cute. I also got some fancy beaded pins, a rubber Tyson chicken, a small yellow chicken that will be put in my easter decorations, and a notebook and card. I also got a beautiful hummingbird candle holder. Thank you so very much for all the nice gifts.

    I am still amazed at all of the different types of chickens that have been made. I have liked them all. Well, I haven't started yet on either item I have to make, I will be sending out by the deadline on the 18th. I am a procrastinator, but I too wanted to see what others were making and there is no way mine will be as creative. I keep changing my mind. I bought some stuff today to start. Sorry swap partners, yours will probably be the last ones to be mailed.

    All these great ideas for chicks.. Cannot wait for the purple pin cushion display of goodies...Some unique ideas, like Clair using a recipe box for her chick and things... The Basket was also a cute idea, afraid I am not that creative...
    Have a good day everyone, hope to Get my BOM top done so I can show you a picture of it tonight.. It's so different from anything I have ever done and I have gone from Bargello to Double wedding ring and you name it ( not the new fads, just old school type things).. Hugs Rosemary
