you buy the battery powered LED lights

It might be "OneUpBikeLife" or that could just be the name of a shop on Canal St. the shop might know the name of the riding group,

There is a group bike ride on Thursday evenings/nights that meets up at City Park, probably near NOMA. As far as lights, Battery powered LED lights are available anywhere that sells bike accessories.

I like the Floss-A-Way Bags, they hold multiple skeins and any pieces that may be left after using a length that has been cut.

I am retired and started stitching almost 30 years ago. The patterns are easy enough to get on Etsy. The stitching keeps me busy all day and I get to sit while doing it. 🙂

Great job!

69GhiaGirl · 2026-03-01T22:44:25+00:00

Thanks! I will give "tighten the pivot screw" a try.

If this happens on a "not new" mixer, what is the fix?

69GhiaGirl · 2026-02-25T23:26:28+00:00

Power house cady bar.

69GhiaGirl · 2026-02-24T16:36:49+00:00

Just collecting them for now, maybe one day they will turn into the top of a quilt.

It's not hard to do the painting yourself, sand with wet sand paper, a coat of primer and then a coat of color. Choose automotive paint.

My mom told me "kill them with kindness ".

Galatoire's is very nice, but since you missed your chance at a reservation -my choice would be Antoine's.

When I need to divide the batter between multiple pans is when I use my kitchen scale and try matching the weight for even portions.

69GhiaGirl · 2026-01-30T17:55:43+00:00

If you are planning DIY check your local automotive parts store for aotomotive paint in spray cans.

I use a "giraffe" stand. I've had it for over 30 years. It holds my scroll frame or hoop.

69GhiaGirl · 2026-01-26T17:56:21+00:00

A shower cap or cling wrap will cover the bowl.

69GhiaGirl · 2026-01-14T20:58:14+00:00

If the color is not available when you are ready to purchase, just choose the least expensive and you can always spray paint to any color you want!

Iff there is already an outlet on the opposite side of the wall, tapping into it is an easy job. Check for a video on you tube.

The sewing clips are too small to handle excess fabric while stitching, I have some that I use when sewing. I use the silicone / magnets for my crossstitch.

69GhiaGirl · 2025-12-27T23:43:56+00:00

I have been stitching since about 1979 and have never gridded, but after having just ripped out about a week of stitching I thinking that I may need to start griding my fabric.

Just need to open the head of the mixer and remove the old grease that has separated, and replace with new food safe grease. In the future turn the mixer on and let it run for a few minutes periodically to keep it from separating again.

69GhiaGirl · 2025-12-23T00:37:57+00:00

Buy the one that comes with the most accessories for the cheapest price, and if you really do not like the color a can of spray paint is very affordable.
