Dear Fishy, Thank you for the lovely box of goodies that arrived yesterday! I love the Calla Lilies! I have been wanting some for quite a while now and love the mixed mixed colors that you sent! I don't have any of these in my gardens and will be looking forward to all of these new blooms. I just received my order from Novosel the other day so it is perfect timing with all of the peat pots and trays and mini greenhouses that I now have! Here is the list of all that I received: Calla Lilies Mixed Colors Large bag of mixed Gladiolus Morning Glory Crimson Rambler Godetia Sweeties (I have never seen these before, they are so pretty!) Bachelor Buttons Cyanus Double Mixed Colors English Daisies Mixed Colors (perennials) Watermelon Sugar Baby Fishy I think the little Clay Pea Pod that you made is very cute. It is perfect, my nickname for my oldest was sweetpea when he was a baby, I got a big smile when I picked that out of your box! The boys have confiscated the coconut monkey that you sent! They love it and have decided to keep it for themselves! LOL! It is now on display in their bedroom on the dresser. Thank you very much for everything that you sent!

LOL Medo mine is just a lil bitty one, its 4 shelves with a raincoat that zips over it but it is holding now more than 100 cups of seedlings plus 5 trays of peat pots and the bottom shelf is still empty. It works for me but then too I have the pool table in the barn that I have more seedlings on (well on plywood over the pooltable) Bunny if I were there I'd go with ya to ask them. That sounds like a great thing! Im excited for you about ya'lls plans for your greenhouse!! Becki, I have been checking into farmers markets around here and they really don't have them close to here (closest one is 30 minutes away and then there is one every Thursday in Needville that is about 45 mins away but sounds like a good one, I am going to go there and look around this Thurs.) I also am finding out about a roadside stand to see if the outskirts of Katy allows that, things are so weird around here but if they do then I am going to do that if my cukes, squash,tomatoes and other veggies go good. (ohhh I hope they do just to show fox that gardening doesn't only burn calories but also produces dollars!) I have all the stuff for both a roadside stand and a booth at the farmers market from my woodworking and crafts booth. I think fox is happy that I have been getting back involved in living again. He and I were talking this evening about my plans for my gardening and also my woodworking/painting/crafts, he was very encouraging about everything I talked about. Thanks ya'll :) Pixie

Threejsmom, expense is a major consideration for me, alright, and the idea of interchangeable sets is very appealing. It's good to know about the fact that Addi Naturas can catch the fine yarn. I have started over with new yarn for the baby sweater I mentioned while I was waiting for help on a specific knit Pony Blocks Baby afghan pattern. But this baby cardigan has in the round sleeves which necessitates my learning something that looks similar to making socks which also stikes my fancy (peaks my interest as many seem to really enjoy making them). Since I am a new beginner at knitting in the round, I THINK it may be more helpful for me to have more drag. By chance, did you look at the free pattern I gave the link to on the baby cardigan? I want the sleeves to turn out, so I am hoping the socks instructions will be of help to me, too. I have already purchased the Brittany 7" dnps, so must stick with them. Have you knit sleeves in the round, and do you think watching or studying sock pattern knitting on the net will be what I need to accomplish these sleeves successfully? I am feeling intimidated, but do so want to learn. Marvel

Now this pic brought a big old smile to my face.... He's now into imitating everything he sees. No wonder we have to be so careful of what we say/do in front of our little ones. Shirley
