Id like to learn more as well it dies lose me a bit.
I guess the more we do the easier it is, but a tutorial would be great
Wow ... these look even bettern than in the first post! Very well done! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Line,
Awww, poor Jamie!
But it sounds like she's done
beautifully with you. And how loving she is with
Marcus! 
It's wonderful that they're
such good friends.
I love how protective she is of Marcus, too, watching for cars and taking her time so he can keep up.
That's also cool how each dog has bonded well with the kids, and one or the other in particular. And you're right...Silver
just sounds very young and inexperienced. I'm sure being
in your loving home she'll learn very well.
Hee hee, why did you always want Barbie dolls if you never played with them?
I did play with my
dolls...until I got to a certain age. I kept them,
though, until the day I made a huge
mistake and gave them away to some kids of a person who later
treated me very badly. I thought I was doing a good
thing, but it wasn't appreciated, and then people have said, "You
gave those things to the kid, not to that horrible person," but
it's still one and the same with me. I bet she sold all of the
collectibles after her kids grew up and no longer played with the
dolls.
So now I try to kind of collect what I used to have, or at least what I want of what I used to have. It's often depressing, because this stuff is old and soooooooo expensive.
Wow, I bet the cat had a wonderful time being wheeled around like that! I had a doll carriage, but
not sure what happened to it. My dolls were mostly in
good shape; I tried to be careful when I played with
them. But the carriage may have simply fallen
apart. It may not have been new when I got it,
either.
LOL, as for wheeling the cat around in it, believe it or not, there is a carriage some company sells that is actually for wheeling a cat around! Seriously! I think
the sides of it are netted so the cat can see out. And
it's very expensive, over $100. LOL, maybe I'll have to
look for doll carriages instead, so I can wheel the cat around the
block! 
I can just picture
it...people would say, "Can I see your baby?" and I'd proudly say,
"Sure!" Then I'd let them take a peek. "That
looks like a cat!" "Yes, that's my baby!"
I actually haven't ever bought my fishing line from a craft store, only from a department store fishing department or a sporting goods store. So you're actually spot on
about that...good thinking! I had heard (though this was
a long time ago, so it may no longer be true) the craft store
fishing line wasn't quite as good as the real thing.
What I buy is something called Fireline Crystal. My very first reel of it was 10 pound test (not sure if that's what you guys call it there). I've bought 8 pound test and 6 pound test...and if I ever want to take that stupid project out of the penalty corner, I'll redo it with 4 pound test! (And if it breaks again, that's it.)
The important thing about the Fireline Crystal is that it's really a fiber. So it's great for beading for that very reason. And then the lower the number, the thinner the thread.
Some of the fishing lines out there will deteriorate in sunlight or water (not Fireline Crystal!). So you don't want a line that will break down holding your beadwork together. Of course they're made to break down because you don't necessarily want a tangle of fishing line left in a pond or a river, but nobody wants to get caught in the rain and know they're going to have to re-weave their favorite bracelet.
Hugs,
Melanie
I uploaded a black and white image of a drawing
and want the pattern just as it is but the pattern picture I get back is nothing like the image I uploaded. I picked crochet and 20 across. What settings should I use?
