Amy's suggestion to plan them out is a good one. That's my task this afternoon.<br /><br />Last night, the Miss America pageant kept me company as I stitched. I hadn't watched it in years! It was surprisingly better than I remembered. Your Miss Tennessee was lovely.<br /><br />Kathy - you have your hands full with your "baby" - what fun! So sorry about the loss of your other Jack Russell but happy to hear that this new puppy will help fill that empty place in your heart.

Then use their paper cutter to cut off where necessary, because you might have too much overlap, and fit the pieces together. Tape them together, with wide invisible scotch tape.<br /><br />If you want one big sheet, try an office reproduction store, but be warned, it goes through a feeder, and costs more.<br /><br />It is easy!<br />Kathykathy Wommackhttp://kmack-backtothefuture.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949761035348585854.post-69606384583052983312010-01-31T04:41:32.145-06:002010-01-31T04:41:32.145-06:00Oh, my!

It's not motivation or excitement that is my problem...I have plenty of desire. it's just...well...I brought a new -baby?- sorta, a new puppy home yesterday, and he is such an adorable, soft and gorgeous little guy!! I didn't mean to, but since I was a child, I have been bringing home pups. this one just happens to have a pedigree that came with him---his name? we tried other names out on him, but ultimately, the name the breeder picked has stuck: "gus" actually Augustus, but "gus" to us. (I had no interest in that name initially!) Named after augustus from lonesome dove.<br /><br />those who read my blog know we lost our jack russell tragically new year's day. Missed him so much, that a jack russell pup seemed to be what the Dr. ordered.<br /><br />NOW...to figure out how to stitch without having him chew my threads. I may have discovered a new stash reduction method!!!<br /><br />Way down here in texas, awaiting my coffin (ha!!),<br />KathyKathy Wommackhttp://kmack-backtothefuture.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949761035348585854.post-74085591926520475322010-01-30T18:41:49.816-06:002010-01-30T18:41:49.816-06:00Hi Melinda, I couldn't find any place to make...Hi Melinda, I couldn't find any place to make a color copy. Well, one place wanted $50. They made me a couple of black and whites. Then I just took lots of color pictures that I will use for reference. I'm sure you can get the outlining done quickly. Then be sure to read all of the great tips before you do the shingles.
