===================
-> -> Sounds good. We went fabric shopping today and got about 18 yards of
-> -> pink, one plus of green and a yard of blue.  Monday & Tuesday I'll
pre
-> -> wash, then start cutting stuff out.
-> 
->  RH> Eighteen yards - curtains, bedding et al?
-> 
-> Several crib sheets @ 2 yards per, a couple of quilts (figure a couple
-> of yards for binding and backing), a diaper bag--outer fabric, liner @
-> a yard per, diaper stacker @ a couple of yards or so, dust ruffle using
-> a yard and a half for the base and about 3 more for ruffle and finally,
-> reversable (2 prints) bumper pads using about 4.5 yards. Once I start
-> cutting it all up, the amount won't seem like that much.
-> 
Only when you were lugging it home. Fabric can get pretty heavy.

->  RH> In that case, it would have been a free fire zone. ;-)
-> 
-> I honestly don't know what they would have done if the bear were inside.
-> Probably called my brother who lives across the street & has guns or the
-> local state trooper office a couple of miles away.  They would have done
-> it from upstairs tho. (G)
-> 
Good idea.  We like the upstairs part.  The more distance between human and
bear, the better.
 
->  RH> to get into the house.  I had a bee sitting on my shirt in the
kitchen
->  RH> today, but no bears.  Said bee met his fate in the garbage
disposal; I
->  RH> like bees, but only if they don't get too friendly.
-> 
-> I don't mind bees if they don't mind me.  I've lived in enough warm,
-> humid places that I've not made it a practice to keep garbage in the
-> house very long so it gets dispatched quickly. Some of our neighbors in
-> AZ had their garbage cans raided by wild life but we kept ours in an
-> enclosed area, less vulnerable to critters and never had trouble.

I've never had critters in the trash either.  Critters in the garden yes,
but not the trash.  I've had strawberry-raiding crows and tomato-stealing
woodchucks, but nothing in the garbage. 
 
->  RH> Amusing your husband no end, doubless.  Men are like that.
-> 
-> No, he's not been into the sewing room that much lately.  I popped the
-> cutting board back on to the table but the car ran over the edge a
-> couple of times as I was setting things up. Now, if I brought the car
-> into the computer room, Steve would be having fun with it. (G)

WELL?!
 
-> -> Somebody tired of waiting for them to ripen?  Steve talked to his
folks
-> 
->  RH> Cluster tomatoes with green ones attached to some ripe ones.  I
->  RH> snagged the green ones.
-> 
-> OK, I would have gone for the whole cluster & used them in various ways.
-> 
There are only two of us, and the one vegetable I don't eat is raw tomato.  
 
cool
-> -> weather & is selling off his tomatoes. (G)
-> 
->  RH> Not quite, unless he had ripe ones already.
-> 
-> Not that likely; it's a bit early for tomatoes yet.

Just a hair, at least around here.
 
->  RH> for a friend once, whose grandson promptly adopted it.  THe Boston
Red
->  RH> Sox logos all over it didn't hurt either. ;-)
-> 
-> May have worked for him but I'd rather have NY Mets logos all over it.

Me too, but you have to play to your audience.  I even made a (gag) Yankees
one for a friend's daughter, who's turning one in a few months.  Daddy is a
diehard Yankee fan.  I love him anyway.  

-> Got a small piece of fabric some years ago w/Buffalo Bills logos all
-> over it.  Last summer I made my dad a couple of small toss pillows (toss
-> at tv in frustration); he know we'd been thru Ohio before visiting them
-> & thought we'd gotten them at the Football Hall of Fame.  Instead he was
-> pleasantly surprised to hear that I'd made them.

I made a Tampa Bay throw for my BIL.  Dunno how anyone can follow that
team, but he's from Florida so we must make allowances.
