lets presume it was greenhouse grown ... it needs to be hardened off to all sunshine ... a couple days in full shade ... then move it to morning or evening sun ... do not let a small pot heat up too much ... i would NEVER put a small pot in full sun .... i expect it to be severely root bound ... and will need unwinding of roots... at planting ... i would have done this in very early spring ... not the beginning of summer ... i might up pot ... with not too much root surgery.. until proper planting time in fall ... and leave it in full shade all summer ... there are a couple other posts on the page... about these xmas type plants .... the specific plant is irrelevant .. they are all conifers ... and they have all been poorly grown for holiday houseplants .... i am sure you can glean info in all those posts ..... ken

It still sounds like a stye to me (but I'm certainly no professional!) and i'm guessing you went through all this due to your respiratory infection, etc. Your body has taken alot of stress recently! Definitely throw out make-up and replace. You can probably find most, if not all, your makeup items on amazon. I've gotten pretty anal about washing makeup sponges/brushes too. I don't wear alot of make-up but I have been dressing, putting on light make-up, doing my hair, etc. because I just feel so much better, AND it makes me more productive. LOL I guess if I look like a slug, I feel like a slug. Glad your eye is doing better. I can remember a stye from years ago and it HURT!

I do. I have 12 full sets of ABC squares. They are 6.5", though. I've never gotten into ABC quilts, but liked shopping for the letters. I have traded or given away several sets. I also have quail, zipper, watermelon and maybe x-ray fabric. I'd be willing to share. bkay

Oh, how sweet, Sharon. The quilt was made with love, and that's all that counts. It looks very colorful and cuddly. Just keep doing what you can. Lois
