You do extraordinarily well in English, my German is
non-existent in spite of my German-surname-by-marriage. ;-}

Ah, see there is no such thing as a "stupid question". Not
knowing something is not stupid, refusing to learn is. And
the best way to learn is to be willing to ask questions.

You're very welcome, and I'm not the least cross, I
understand very well the complications of having a small
child to care for, and of life jumping in and interfering
with plans. Take care,

Beverly

Wonderful!!!!!!!! I'm thrilled you were able to get such a great bargain on
the hair canvas. Especially since that's not something you can find just
anywhere. :)

I'm doubly thrilled to hear that your hand is doing better! Take it easy
though. Don't go on a cutting marathon or anything.

Happy dancing with you!!

Yeah, it's not like I was going to find it at TSWLTH! ;-}

No risk to the hand, I'm right handed. Mostly I was stalled
because I had to keep an ice pack on my left hand, making it
awkward to do anything which required two hands.

Thanks!
