Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I may have to do that.  And unlike my usual MO I'll have to toss
 RH> the
->  RH> scrap. Generally I use those pieces too.

-> Save decent size scraps.

 RH> My MO is of course to save everything!

It was mine too, to a certain extent.  After moving here, I started on
the cut down project.  It's freeing up a good amount of space already.
Doing it to all my scraps (all fabric types) will make a major
difference in how much space is taken up by them.

-> It's cooling off now but it's also 10:40 at night.  Too late to haul out
-> the quilt and do any work.

 RH> Too bad.  I got a little done on it today.  It has to be done before
 RH> Christmas, so I'd better get cracking.

I want to get this one done before Christmas but will wait until the
weather cools off.  I'm still catching up from the trip in other areas
tho.  We were given about 5 1/2 pounds of red plums in PA on Tuesday
(traveled in our cooler, stayed in the Shipps fridge while we were
there).  Saturday afternoon I made 11 half pints plus a taster of plum
preserves. Looks pretty in the jars and will taste good this winter.

 RH> No beautiful days here yet.  Too hot, too humid, or both.  The MS is
 RH> still complaining.

I can understand; I've been trying to keep cool. Steve was out for a bit
and brought home Sonic strawberry slushies.  That helps. (G)

->  RH> They wander as far as the kitchen sink.  That's about it.

-> That's about the the extent of it with my kitchen stuff too. The place
-> is too small for things to wander too far.  We're still, tho, after a
-> year plus in the place, trying to remember where we've squirreled away
-> all the little widgets like corn on the cob holders, strawberry hullers,
-> etc.  Open this drawer, scrabble thru--nope--close thedrawer, repeat
-> with the next until either the widget is found or we run out of drawers.

 RH> My widgets hide in odd places.  The corn holders are in a container in
 RH> the dining room, of all places.  I use a knife instead of a strawberry
 RH> huller. The scrabble set is pretty easy to find - we have the version
 RH> on a
 RH> turntable.

Ours is in a box, I think in the buffet. It's a German set with the
umlauted vowels.  It's hiding out there with the dominoes.  OTOH, the
corn holders are in the flatware drawer in the kitchen island.
