Thanks, Alison and LBTC. Nice to know some people appreciate handwork. Some people tile and work on ships, others knit.

LBTC - Geez! I'd heard about the fracas up in BC. That's awful to actually be threatened. Sounds like some of these people just have no concept of respecting others. The one and only time I was threatened on a bike, the "threateners" told us that the area was closed for a special event that day and when we persevered told us that we might get shot by a stray bullet. They said all this was in their state permit. Unfortunately for them, the state attorney who wrote the permit (as well as the retired attorney who wrote the previous year's permit) were standing there with me. Moral of the story, don't threaten the safety of the wife of the guy who holds that kind of power over your organization. This guy (as you can tell, my hubby) loved giving them a little "hello" grin at the next meeting when they had to petition for the next year's permit. Guess what the happy ending was? So, hang in there. There are happy endings.
