Hi Ruth,

-> And it worked just fine. I got the blanket done today but want to get a
-> picture or 2 before I give it away. Also got a dinosaur shirt for Logan
-> cut out.

 RH> I got that velveteen one sewn together.  It looks better than I
 RH> thought it would, if rather masculine.   That's OK, since a bunch of
 RH> the quilts I make end up with guys.

Looks like the cold weather has us both in the sewing room. One way of
keeping warm--put a bunch of fabric on your lap. After I finish the
shirt, I'll probably put the binding on the Double Wedding Ring quilt;
that will keep me warm. I'll do the hand embellishment after the binding
is on.

->  RH> We got the snow, such as it is. And the cold...I don't need a
 RH> freezer  now; I can just toss plastic bags of food on the back
 steps!

-> I can do that today and tomorrow but it's supposed to be in the 40s by
-> the week end. Had about half an inch of snow last night.

 RH> It's going "up" to freezing tomorrow.  Maybe.  I do use my enclosed
 RH> porch as a spare fridge this time of year.  It doesn't quite
 freeze out there generally.

Today was supposed to have a high of 43 but I don't think it got out of
the 30s. I went out to get a few groceries--rather brisk wind put the
wind chill factor down lower than I'l like to think. It's supposed to be
in the upper 40s tomorrow and low 50s Monday before another Actic blast
hits for Tuesday. I'll be making beef & barely soup on Monday in
anticipation of the cold coming in.

-> -> Have to check it out; my grandmother passed away in 1974 so it could
 RH> be an aquamarine. It's not quite as blue as the necklace I got
 last week RH> so I'm beginning to wonder.

->  RH> Yep - sounds like.  I have a blue topaz from the 80s and they're a
->  RH> really pale blue.  The colors didn't get darker until later.
->  RH> Aquamarine isn't quite a true blue.  There are a few other stones
 RH> it could be too.

-> Time to do some more web searching then.

 RH> Or find a good gem book at the library.  Or hit a jeweler who does
 RH> estate stuff.

Have to find one of the last type. Right now, web search is the easiest
to do as it's something I can do without going out into the cold.

-> -> Still, might be worth a few dollars to serious collectors.

->  RH> Serious collectors want them in better shape.

-> But if it's one they don't have and want bad enough, they might take it,
-> not caring that much about the condition.

 RH> Until they find a better one.  Rarities will sell, but I don't think
 RH> any of these were rare.

IOW, placeholders. "I've got this to complete my collection but want one
in better condition." type thing.


 RH> I think I'm beginning to figure out the reasons for the MS.  Not get a
 RH> handle on the disease mind, that's not really possible, but maybe the
 RH> reasons for it.

I can think of a number of reasons but won't speculate in this forum.
