Cheri Foster commented on Cheri Foster's blog post Gardening Pest"either rabbits or deer.

Cheri Foster commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"I know all this wet weather and sunshine brought back the earthworms so of course we have moles. They just love the earthworms. Those little buggers are a constant battle. We have litttle tunnels everywhere."
Cheri Foster commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Yep that is one thing I do not like about the pacific northwest. The grass grows prolifically. I too have grass in my flower beds. Hula hoe and hand weeding work here as the tiller would destroy all of my plants. The deer ate…"

Cheri Foster commented on Phyllis A Friloux's group Featherweight "Club""Although the cost of the kit is almost as much as the cabinet itself.

I realize what a wimp I am. I got my new Olisio Iron on thursday last week. I used it at our crafting bee on saturday and now my right arm, shoulder and neck are sore like I lifted weights. I like that it does not have to be lifted up but it is sure heavy. I guess my arm will get a work out. I will have to try to be ambidextrous so I can work out both arms.…

Wow!!! Were we in for a shock on Friday. We went to UPS to ship one of our pots and found out that our box is now considered oversize inside dimensions 24 x 24 x 47 becomes outside dimenions of 25 x 25 x 48. This quadruples the weight of the box. 42 lbs becomes 168 lbs. It would cost $315 to ship an $80 pot to Ardmore, OK. If it were one inch less it would cost $167. The gentleman suggested we ship on greyhound. I did not know you could do such a thing. Greyhound will ship the same box…

Hi Gals,
I had a fantastic time at the sewing and stitchery expo in Puyallup. I was a good girl and only spent $40. This was my budget for the show. Got a yard of hello kitty fabric for my granddaughters quilt ($20/yd) wow. Now to decide what to do with it. It will be the focus fabric and will fill with pinks, teals and lemon yellow. I am thinking a bear's paw.

Chef Lisa said… Sorry I thought you used the alcohol based product. One of my beefs/pet peeves - like when I fly everyone has perfume/cologne on and someone will always get that s#&* out! Then I have to fly with my mouth and nose covered cause I have a sensitive smell and taste.

I love this! Btw my Pumpkin Barn was a hit with Peace River Quilters Guild. They all said it was a remarkable piece from the challenge.

Cheri we all have beneficial bacteria on our body if you keep using the anti bacterial stuff when you get really sick your body will not handle it well. So as we all age think for a moment about that Alcohol based products that kills every thing.
Soap and water does the trick just right. As a chef washing hands is a must constantly. My family is taught when they walk in the door from school or work they are to go directly to a sink and wash hands singing happy birthday! I have been able to stay healthy since I learned this in culinary school. It has been a saver in our household.

Julie Beard said… Hi Cherie, just taking a look at some of your photo's and saw your strawberry planter!!! That would be amazing for tomatoes too! Only problem for me is that I live in Australia and it would cost a fortune to send. I would absolutely love one. I don't have the ground to dig up, so going vertical would be perfect in sunny Adelaide. By the way love your star. Look forward to chatting at some stage. Julie Beard.

Colette LeFever said… Cheri love your pics of your sewing room. Your set up looks like it is very productive. I need to figure out how to set up my room with a permanent cutting table, as well as space for all of my machines (6) books and other craft stuff.

Hello and Good Morning Cheri,
I am flattered by your request and would love to be your friend!!
I aim to come back later and 'chat'. Hubby is on two weeks holiday and we are having days out. We are restriced in what we can do and where we can visit as he is on crutches at the moment having ruptured his Achille's tendon - each day seems to bring a new challenge!!
Cheerio for now,
Anna x
