A play on words...

I've got mail again and my latest projects

Ok folks, my mail opens again! I rebooted the computer & tried again. This time Incredimail opened up. I had visions of losing everything that should probably have been printed and wasn't a happy camper this afternoon. In fact, I was quite grumpy!


I know this is a little late, but I made a couple of things for my DIL's school Halloween celebration. She and 2 of her fellow kindergarten teachers were characters in the nursery rhyme "The 3 Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens". The ladies had their costume parts but my DIL couldn't find a tail, so it was Mom2 to the rescue. I found black faux fur at Joann's, & sewed a tube. The fur looks a lot like my Murphy's fur. My DH supplied heavy duty automotive strapping wire, which I doubled & taped with blue painters tape, then wrapped in batting & taped again. Slid the wire contraption into the tube and sewed the top flap so it attaches to a belt. Then shaped the wire into a cute kitty curl and voila! We had an adorable kitten tail! I also stumbled across Disney Mickey & Minnie fabric that resembles a pair of Mickey & Minnie Halloween dolls she's using in her classroom. My DIL was thrilled when she saw the fabric and asked for a round tablecloth. There were just over 3 yards of fabric on end of the bolt, which wasn't quite enough. I had to "wing it" with a solid fabric for the top. (Isn't this cute? I didn't have a 36" table for the picture, but you can get an idea of how it should look.)

MY #&*@$%# E-MAIL WON'T WORK!

Oh no! Oh horror of horrors, my Incredimail e-mail won't open! It's been like this for hours. This is not a good thing. I keep way to much stuff in my e-mail folders and I can't get to anything! Now I have to beg my son to fix whatever isn't working and he has the patience of a gnat with me when it comes to computers. He didn't think it was a good idea when I moved my mail from Windows to Incredimail so that I could have cute little emoticons on my e-mails. Did I listen, oh no. I tried to re-activate my old Windows e-mail but it's not working either.

I'm not having a good day here.....
