embroidery by hand is very easy. Time consuming but easy... You only need an embroydery hoop, good embroiedry needles, and pretty thread. I used to embroider all my Jeans when i was in Highschool...

Having an embroidery hoop is also recommended for use on a sewing machine too... the hoop keeps the cloth stretched evenly so you dont get odd bunching.

deb "who in a past life used to sew"
Deb I tried to learn to embroider by hand and failed big time at it. I have had trouble with my hands since I was 18. I have hoops for the machine and I like it. lol

I got the mothballs put out today, after I made sure the snake was nowhere around. I don't really want to kill the snake, because black racers kill poisonous snakes, but I don't want it eating my eggs, and messing with my chickens either, so I will see how this goes. The mothballs are very cheap, so it's not that big of a deal to get them and replenish on a regular basis. I'm told it will keep the rodents at bay too. They sell snake deterrent granules, proven effective, at Home Depot in gallon sized containers for about $15.00 a container. The active ingredient is naphthalene, which is the same active ingredient in mothballs, so in essence it's ground up mothballs at a big price. The property owner is um, er, significantly less than a nice person, to put it mildly.

On another note, I've got 4 loaves of Amish Friendship Bread baking in the oven. My house smells delicious.
