the last thing i usually hear.. after the after school snack.. is a yell... I AM GOING TO THE SAND PIT.. and the door slamming shut ... mine are 12 and 9 ... there is no joy in the world for them .. greater than the feel of sand/mud in their toes .... imagine the hose running for 5 hours.. and a bunch of kids wallowing in it ... you confused me.. move what.. not the DR???? i said it was proper from the back view .... or do you mean the mulch for them to dig????? and the red headed white freckled dwarf needed shade.. but does he play under it.. noooooo .... and thank god i am honored to shame someone out of their whiskey barrels.. but i too have used them for water gardens... and that is not a basis for shame.. that is inspired ... i actually had 5 cent goldfish that grew to 8 inches.. living in a full whiskey barrel with a heater and pump.. live for 5 years [z5 winter and all] ... truly rats with gills ... so .... as long as you dont tip them over... and use them wisely.. dont fret ... and yes.. my wife brought a concrete pig to the marriage .... and no bones.. just 20 feet of yellow sand ... though the glaciers have left some fossils ... i actually had to garbage pic an old green slide.. to put the hose on ... because they were eroding the hill towards the neighbors house .... i think i covered all the questions ... ken

Snake ID Please....PIC

I'm not sure if this is where I can post a related question... I live in SW Missouri and was hoeing some weeds beside my house and accidentally chopped a small snake in two. I've identified it as a Midland Brown Snake. I noticed the mortally injured snake, though only 7 or 8 inches long, had babies wriggling out of its belly. So I pulled all of them out and carefully placed them into a jar. There are about a dozen that are still alive. I've had them about 3 hours now. Any suggestions on what to feed them? They're about the size of a toothpick and I can't imagine they could feed themselves on their own. I'm wondering if earthworms cut into tiny pieces would work for them...

Thanks Wayne. Would it eat all the frogs in my small backyard ponds? I might have to relocate it if it does. I really enjoy those frogs singing me to sleep at night. I hate to do that......but I don't think I could convince it to change to peanut butter and jelly.

Once something starts bugging you it is hard to "just let it go" -- I got REAL GOOD and taking things apart when I did my kaleidoscope quilt. (Even literally put darts in a couple blocks to get it to match right!) I noticed you have the four corners of blocks in the center perfectly matched -- the little muslin squares. I would let that intersection go as far askew as I needed to to get the black parts lined up. Since the muslin is roughly the same color it's really "one square" in the center -- IMO, matching it's points is not important. Where as the black/white intersections jump out at you. I would get those black squares matched up and sewn together. (Taking at least the one in like I suggested above) THEN, if I had a significant difference in size between the top and bottom muslin pieces in the center, I'd take the one that is larger and tighten its seam up -- Go up higher - maybe right below where the black starts and resew the seam angling inward ever so slightly so that by the time I reach the bottom my seam allowance is more than 1/4 inch -- I've sewn at an angle. Too extreme an angle and it won't lie flat but I think you can get away with enough to take up the slack. And once it's quilted who will know?! Clear as mud?!

I got the pattern from one of my quilt magazines. I love bright colors and so my quilts are usually colorful.
This was also one I quilted on my Handi Quilter frame.
Thanks for the nice comments. Nancy

Have to say that I passed this thread up a few times because of hte word "snake". But I braved it & saw the CUTE quilt. I'm not terrified of ziggyzag snakes with big buggy eyes. They almost look scared! :) Great job on the quilt.

Stitches,
Your quilt is darling! But like lynch-quilts we don't care much for snakes and my DH especially doesn't like them.
My favorite part of your post is the darling red head in the corner of the pic. We are partical to red heads as 2 of our GC are red heads.

New2quilting, yes the snake heads are floppy. Since this was not a little one i used buttons for the eyes.

Nana24, the readhead is dgd. She's a pistol!

I have made this quilt also. Its super cute. In fact I have given it to my church to use as a raffle prize. I was looking for the book so I could write out the little story behind it, how the grandmother made the pockets in the heads so she could leave notes for her grandkids and how one snake is facing the other direction because she had one granddaughter who always did her own thing....., but i cant find the book. Can you help? I really wanted to attach the story, one of the reasons I loved the quilt was because of that, so I can do so?

My sister has a book with this pattern in it. I don't know if the story is in that book but I will check with her and post a reply on this forum. May take a week or a bit more as she is visiting with her granddaughter.

I talked to my sister and she says that there is a few lines about how one snake is going in a different direction because the child followed his own heart. There was nothing about the grandma putting notes in the snake head pockets. Sorry it wasn't what you wanted.

Am I the only one that is getting the photobucket threat instead of the photo? Unfortunately, many of the old Gardenweb posts are now being held hostage by Photobucket. Pay up or your your photos will no longer show up on forums. Years of wonderful photos and histories are being lost by this action. It's a shame. (I deleted my photobucket account.)

I am getting it too.

It's a shame that we have to pay. I also deleted my Photobucket account.
