Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 yatatataya! That's all folks! Is that it, ? Truly Looney Tunes, huh? After spending an hour and a half on a cold, hard, x-ray table today, bending my hurting hip in impossible directions (I felt like telling the technician to shove my foot you know where.), they made me come back and do them all over again. He forgot the film! Yup. Not my day, either. So, move over, Bugs, I'm comin' to join ya. Love, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Oh, Laurie, I'm afraid I can't stand Martha, but I appreciate that you meant it as a compliment. I just happen to have been raised in poverty, and making do was a way of life. My mother always claimed she had no creativity, yet she made our home lovely and well put together with old or used items. I think she learned to do really good cooking as a creative outlet, also. She was a good writer, and always wanted to have the time to write a book. So, we all have our own areas of talent and expertise. I'm afraid I am one of those sickening people who can take a beat up old milk can and make a kitchen stool out of it that everyone wants to use. Just a knack, I guess. Like my sister makes the best cheesecakes in the world, and the best sugar cookies. Each of us has a talent, but it is our diversity that makes it interesting.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Oh, now, Normi, I didn't get mad...this time. I just told Laurie that I really don't like Martha, but that I understand she was handing me a compliment. I really do hate Martha, though, as you well know. I think she is a smarmy piece of work.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Maggie, I can agree with you about gastro docs, too. LOL About the grapevine tree... I just cut them as long as possible, strip the leaves, and soak them in the bathtub overnight. You have to soak them to prevent them bending or breaking when you form the wreaths. I make a giant wreath, bending it around my big round soup pot as a form. The wreath should be at least 24 " in diameter. I then take five wooden stakes (like for staking up beans) that are 6' in height, pointed side down, and secure each one in the wreath. I make each secure by cutting a small notch about 2 " from the bottom of each stake, then using paddle wire, I wrap the wire around the notched portion of the stake and into the wreath itself. Each stake should be poked directly into the sides of the wreath to a depth of 2+ " , and then wired in place. I then bring the tops of the stakes together teepee fashion and wire them together. This makes a stable form for the rest of the vines. I then take the soaked vines and wind them around the teepee, starting at the bottom and working my way up the tree. I wire the thicker end of the vine on a stake immediately above the last vine, and wire it on as I go. I don't wire every pass, just at the beginning of each vine, in the middle, and at the skinny end. I use a thin, green florist wire, but any dull colored wire will do. Once I have covered the form with vines, I allow the things to dry for two days. Then I wind white mini lights on it, hot glue fabric roses, or grapes, or whatever takes my eye that I happen to have around in my crap, add dried natural materials from my yard, and set it up in the front window. I use wired ribbons to trim it, and there you are. All done, and a real artsy fartsy piece. Love, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Maggie, Don't apologize. I like long emails that are newsy. And, don't those vines start at ground level? You cut them lower down and use the whole thing, at least, I do. Sorry you got tired so quickly, but then, so do I. I do one thing, then rest, then do the next thing. Small steps works best for me. I still have trouble budgeting my energy, and even when I remember, sometimes I come up short. But, I keep trying. Can't give up, I'm too stubborn. LOL Take care, Love, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Hi, Normi. I found an ad for this great bear that has a different sweater for each month. The company is Dream Products, Inc. at 412 Dream Lane, Van Nuys, CA 91496. He is 12 " tall, and the sweaters are cute as a button. He's $9.97, + $4.95 s & h. He's called the Calendar Bear. Just thought you might want to take a look. The ad was in today's paper adverts. Love, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
