I received an anonymous gift from someone yesterday and it was the most wonderful feeling I have had in a long time. It was also a wonderful gift!!! My only regret is that I have no way of knowing who it was and I can not tell them Thank You properly. I have been really down lately because of my health and some family reasons also. How do you really give a proper THANKS to someone when they make you feel so good. This my outlet and all of you have helped me through some very trying times over the last year. I am mostly homebound and I found this wonderful site with soooooo many good and caring people. I have found some lifetime friends even if it is just online. Although the gift is just wonderful, it can not compare with the online friendships that I have made right here! I actually had tears running down my face because I was so touched by someone caring enough to send me a very thoughtful gift. Life throws you some curves sometimes but this was a home run in my book! I just wanted to share this with all of you this morning! I love this site and all of the people involved with it! It is an embroidery site but is has so much more meaning to me because I have met such wonderful people here and we all have something in common, our love for our craft! Lots of love, Linda

Yoriko, My computer is down again. On borrowed time. Thank you so much for always being there for me! I do not like this mess with my computer but can not seem to get it straight. My son is rather upset with the guy that was supposed to fix it or with me one. I am not sure which. I will not be able to get online for a few days, I am afraid! Hugs, Linda

Whoever dies with the most designs, wins! That is how I feel when it comes to designs! The more I get the more I want. I need to get off the computer and get started on the machines. If I sat and sewed every design that I have, I would have to live another 63 yrs. I love the Ellageo because you can slip a floppy disc into the computer, down load a design and then put the disc in the embroidery machine and sew it! It also takes the memory cards. The 2 baby locks use the same memory cards but the Singer takes a different memory card. When I was working I bought piles of store bought designs. The dealer where I got the Babylocks gave me wonderful prices on all that I got from them plus everytime I went in there they would give a bag full of bobbins. I have never had to buy a bobbin. Since I moved to the Atlanta area, he changed the brand of machines that he sells. Of course, I am a very long way from Augusta, Ga. I would have to find a dealer closer to me if I ever had any trouble. Kay(katydid) could help me find a good dealer up here. We do not live close because I am S.E. of Atlanta, in Fayetteville(very close to the Peachtree City line and I think she is the other direction. Of course I am not real sure where she is. This is a big place with alot of good size towns just in the surburbs of Atlanta in every direction. I get around up here with my G.P.S. I have not figured out how to use it since I am walking...hehehe It is 2:15 AM and I need to go to bed. Hugs and blessings to you, Linda
