Dear Margaret,

I've just made myself a cup of tea after doing the dishes. Together with a nice piece of chocolate, it is now time to answer all the people who commented on my TAST-piece. By the time I am done, the angel on the other side of the globe will have posted another challenge in the TAST-series!

Thank you very much for commenting on my pictures. I had a lovely time looking at yours!

Have a nice day, Jessica

hi  margaret hearty congrats for getting your knotted cretan TREE in 1st place of top photos!truly you desrve it..

I look forward to seeing your crochet.  I kept the tutorial open and just took it round by round and it went pretty well.  I did have to do a little removal and replacement, but no big deal.  As far as your photo on blogs, have you added a photo to your profile/settings page?  It should come up automatically when you are logged in and posting.  Thank you for following and thanks for accepting my friend request!

Hi Margaret.  In response to your question about the tutorial for crochet, I added a link on my blog.  It is so simple as it is all done in chain, single and double crochet.  I hope you enjoy it.  I did it in a day!  If you have any problems linking, let me know.

Hi Margaret: It's very nice of your to welcome me.  Many thanks.  I love threads, fabrics, color but haven't done much: just surfing and enjoying artits' work.  nga smith

Thank you Margaret for accepting me as a friend. Your work is just beautiful. I try a little stitching, but have not achieved your standard. I love most forms of hand work and quilting is the favourite. You could make a lovely quilt with a jelly roll, there are numerous patterns out there for some wonderful designs. I look forward to seeing your work in the future.

thank you margaret for visiting my blog and following me..iam also new in blogging and try to learn and share something whatever i like..and i need your encouragement as well..

Margaret, thanks so much for viewing my blog and your warm comments.  How nice that your friend is doing a dolls house, they are so wonderful and this hobby has enabled me to have a much fuller life.  

I've been to Leeds years ago on my way north from London, then took a train up to Edinburgh.  I love England and have been there many, many times.  I don't miss an opportunity to go since I am so enamored with the architecture.

Thanks Margaret. I am glad you liked my work. I am new in this world of embroidery and I am learning something new everyday. 

Thank you Margaret.  May I look at you pics?  Enjoy seeing other pieces.  May I add you as a friend?

I bought the fabric like that with the prints of those pots and more Actually you give me a great idea of making a pic of this pots and then with a magic program which I have in my computer I can translate them on cross stitch or needlepoint
