<Janet> howdy!
<Bibi> howdy doody
<Teri> Hiddey Ho
<JoyceSBS> bippity boppity
<Janet> I couldn't find one of my samples. I'm bummed
<Teri> boop
<JoyceSBS> does it have to rhyme??
<Bibi> nope
<JoyceSBS> oh come on Janet...you must have thousands....
<Janet> I do. but not where I could find 'em
* JoyceSBS helps Janet to look for her samples
<Janet> but look at what I did do. I did do some of the ribbon couching.
* JoyceSBS picks up all the od newspapers and looks underneath
<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/embroidery
<Carlotta> there is that beautiful angel again!
<JoyceSBS> I spy the Angel of Healing with the bowl of Chicken Soup!
<Janet> I chickened out on embroidering on her, I put ribbon couching around her instead
<JoyceSBS> nice though Janet
<Janet> I love this stamp
<JoyceSBS> I can't be bothered running outside to the studio to look for others like this...wish I'd brought them in
<JoyceSBS> I have a new one coming out in August.....
<JoyceSBS> Angel of Music
<Janet> Ooooo sign me up for that one, you know I need it.
<JoyceSBS> I need it first. it's not made up yet...soon!
<Janet> Anyway, how many of you were at the last embroidery class, where we mainly talked about ribbons?
<Janet> everybody I think
<JoyceSBS> not me....
<Carlotta> not me but I can pick up pretty quick
<JoyceSBS> 2me too
<Teri> me
<JoyceSBS> 2Bibi, are you ever going to bed??
<Janet> oh okay, then you need to look at the ribbon page, too. or let's do these two, then go to the ribbons and those who are bored with the repeat can take a shopping break<g>
<Janet> Bibi, say NEVAH!
<Bibi> Joyce, not if I can help it
<Bibi> ok. NEVAH!
<JoyceSBS> 2NEVAH EVAH
<Janet> spoken just like a Texan
<JoyceSBS> 2y'all
* Bibi is a Texan wannabe
<Janet> SO WELL, LET'S START AT THE BOTTOM...
<Bibi> that's always a good place to start
<JoyceSBS> 2who's bottom?
<Janet> WHICH SHOWS THE WHOLE SECRET OF EMBROIDERING WITH THREAD OR RIBBON ON CARDSTOCK...
<Janet> NOT YOURS, JOYCE, IT'S TOO SMALL, WE'LL START WITH MINE, A NICE HEFTY PLACE TO START
<Janet> THE WHOLE SECRET, JOYCE, CARLOTTA...
<Janet> IS TO PUNCH YOUR HOLES BEFORE YOU START.
<JoyceSBS> 2okay, I'll behave..and you haven't seen mine recently!
<Janet> SO YOU SEE THE STAMP STAMPED ON THE BACKSIDE OF MY CARD
<JoyceSBS> 2size?
<Carlotta> Ah, I see that would make it easier! LOL
<Janet> AND THEN A CLOSE UP OF WHERE I PUNCHED THE HOLES
<Janet> I DID LAZY DAISY STITCHING ON THE LEAVES AND PETALS, STRAIGHT STITCHES ON THE STEM
<Janet> AND FRENCH KNOTS ON THAT WISTERIA LOOKING THING
<Janet> AND THIS IS THE SAMPLE I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE. IT'S BEEN FINISHED ABOUT SIX WEEKS AND I SWEAR I SAW IT JUST A FEW DAYS AGO
<Janet> IT'S DISAPPEARED. AND I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL 20 TO MIDNIGHT, NOT ENOUGH TIME TO DO A NEW ONE
<Carlotta> LOL! I was wondering what it looked like!
<JoyceSBS> 2Janet, is this on a website somewhere?
<Janet> I'LL MAKE A NEW ONE BEFORE SUNDAY PROBABLY
<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/janet/embroidery/
<Janet> THAT ONE, BUT NOT THE FINISHED PIECE, I CAN'T FIND IT
<Janet> IT'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE
<JoyceSBS> 2okay, thought you were referring to a different page...sorry...I'll keep quiet again!
<Janet> LOL
<Janet> THE TOP PICTURE IS MAYBE COMPLETE. I HAVEN'T DECIDED IF I WANT TO LEAVE IT AS IT IS, OR COUCH AROUND THE OTHER SIDE AND TIE LIL KNOTS IN THE RIBBONS ON THOSE CORNERS
<Janet> I SORT OF LIKE IT LIKE THAT
<JoyceSBS> 2I like these too, gives them a whole new effect.
* JoyceSBS thinks Janet is very clever
<Janet> BUT THIS WAS THE STITCH I DIDN'T HAVE A SAMPLE OF THE OTHER NIGHT.
<Janet> WHERE YOU LAY THE RIBBON DOWN, THEN CATCH IT AND TACK IT DOWN TO THE CARDSTOCK WITH A CONTRASTING THREAD OR RIBBON
<JoyceSBS> 2is it reall bulky at the back where you overlap?
<Janet> MY HOLES PUNCHED FOR THIS, THEY JUST RAN IN A STRAIGHT SINGLE LINE
<Carlotta> I really like the way the top one looks, very elegant and simple.
<Janet> NOT AT ALL, THIS WAS JUST ONE STRAND OF A METALLIC THREAD, ONE OF THREE THAT CAME ON THE SPOOL
<Janet> YOU CAN RUN THE RIBBON FROM THE BACK TO THE FRONT TO COUCH, TOO.
<JoyceSBS> 2you could do so much with this and with so many colours too, couldn't you?
<Janet> BUT I NEVER DID THAT PART ON THIS ONE, I LEFT THE ENDS LOOSE, THINKING I'D TIE KNOTS IN THE CORNERS
<Janet> THEN WHEN I GOT HALF DONE...
<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/janet/embroidery/
<JoyceSBS> 2it's a good way to use up all those leftover pieces of ribbon
<Janet> I LIKED IT JUST LIKE IT WAS
<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/janet/embroidery/
<anno> right place?
<Janet> YES!
<Carlotta> ANNO!
<JoyceSBS> 2yep
<anno> you sewed that?
<JoyceSBS> 2isn't she clevah?
* anno is amazed.
<Janet> AND NOW WE'RE FIXING TO MOVE TO THE RIBBON EMBROIDERY PAGE
<Janet> I DID
<Carlotta> and hi to Ms Redstick too!
<anno> lemme go clean my glasses.
<Janet> IT'S RIBBON COUCHED ON THE BORDER OF THE WATERCOLORED STAMPED PIECE
<Janet> IT'S A FUN WAY TO ATTACH LAYERS
<cak> (I think Chico sent your unfound finished sample to his girlfriend)
<Janet> ONE OF THE SAMPLES THAT'S MISSING IS ANOTHER ANGEL OF SCOTTISH BORDERS STAMPING, I STAMPED IT ON GOLD FOIL
<Janet> AND JUST ATTACHED IT TO THE CARD WITH FRENCH KNOTS ON ALL FOUR CORNERS
<JoyceSBS> 2sounds nice
<Janet> NOW THAT WAS FAST AND EASY
<cak> very classy though
<Janet> STAMP, FOUR KNOTS, DONE
<JoyceSBS> 2it'll probably show up as soon as we finsh here
<JoyceSBS> 2just like wee brads?
<Janet> PROBABLY, THEN I'LL MAKE YOU ALL LOOK AT IT ALL WEEKEND<G>
<Janet> YES, BUT CHEAPER :)
<Janet> AND DIFFERENT.
<JoyceSBS> 2which ink did you stamp it with?
<Janet> FRENCH KNOTS, AND I'M PRETTY GOOD AT THEM, THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO BE PERFECTLY UNIFORM
<JoyceSBS> 2I'm visualising...
<anno> ah... now.. let me look at that again.
<Janet> I STAMPED IT WITH DOCUMENT INK ON THE FOIL OUT OF A CIGARETTE PACK
<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/janet/embroidery/
<JoyceSBS> 2I need to take up smoking.....
<Janet> BUT THE ONE I'M DESCRIBING, YEAH, CHICO PROBABLY SENT TO HIS GIRLFRIEND
<Janet> NO PROBLEM, I SMOKE ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF US<G>
<Carlotta> Use candy bar foil, it smells better.
<JoyceSBS> 2more fattening....
<Janet> IT DOES SMELL BETTER.
<Janet> AND IT TASTES AT LEAST AS GOOD.<G>
<Janet> I AM A PACKRAT WRAPPER SAVER
<cak> they're hard to resist
<Janet> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT AIN'T TRASH, GIVE THAT HERE!!!
<JoyceSBS> 2LOL I have boxes full of stuff like that!
<Janet> THERE ARE TOO MANY IN MY FAMILY THAT PICK UP KITCHEN TRASH AND SAY (SARCASTIC LIKE) "OKAY IF i THROW THE COFFEE GROUNDS AWAY"
<Janet> OCCASIONALLY I'LL GET 'EM AND SAY NOOOOOOOOO I'M DYING PAPER WITH THAT TODAY!
<JoyceSBS> 2say no, we can stain paper with them
<cak> lol, keep 'em off guard
<Janet> ANYWAY, LET'S MOVE TO THE RIBBON PAGE, THOSE WHO DON'T WANT THE REPEAT, GO SHOPPING <G>
<Carlotta> I said once I was going to use them to stain the eggshells left over from breakfast
<Janet> LOL
<Janet> AND GOOD IDEA, TOO!
<Carlotta> Ribbon page?
<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/janet/ribbon/
<Janet> GO HERE NOW
<JoyceSBS> 2now that's a cool technique....love eggshells making things
<Janet> I HAVE DIAGRAMS OF SOME SIMPLE EMBROIDERY STITCHES AND HOW THOSE APPLY IF YOU'RE STITCHING WITH RIBBON RATHER THAN FLOSS
<Janet> BUT THE STITCHES ARE THE SAME, MOSTLY, WHETHER IT'S RIBBON OR FLOSS
<Janet> WEE RIBBON ROSES IN THE CORNERS OF VELLUM LOOK SO NICE
<Janet> AND IT'S ONE WAY TO ATTACH VELLUM LAYERS THAT WON'T SHOW
<Janet> I MEAN, THE ROSES SHOW, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TAPE OR GLUE MARKS
<JoyceSBS> 2I can tell you've been talking to me too much Janet.....just a "wee" bit too much!
<Janet> JAMS IS BACK! YAY!
<Janet> LOL THAT WAS FOR YOU. SO YOU'D UNDERSTAND BETTER.
* Janet SNORTS
<Bibi> wb & ty jams
* Jambalaya smells good now too
<Janet> ANYBODY HERE NOT EMBROIDER AT ALL?
<Bibi> me
<Janet> I CAN EXPLAIN THE STITCHES IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM
<Bibi> 'sok
* JoyceSBS thinks Janet's becoming a Scot
<Janet> OKAY, BIBI, I THINK THIS IS #3 ON THIS CLASS, WHICH STITCH CAN I MORE FULLY EXPLICATE?
<Janet> THAT SPIDER ROSE IS THE ONLY RIBBON STITCH THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LEARNED WITH FLOSS
<Bibi> none right now, not for me, but thanks
<Janet> AND THAT IS MAKE A SPIDER WITH FLOSS, THEN WEAVE YOUR RIBBON IN AND OUT
<Janet> UNTIL YOU HAVE A ROSE
* Bibi is half asleep
<Janet> SOMEONE, I WISH I COULD REMEMBER WHO, SAID THEY WERE TRYING THIS ON VELLUM AND IT WAS RIPPING
<Bibi> tm
<Janet> AND I MEANT TO TELL THEM THEN AND FORGOT TO (BEING HALF ASLEEP PROBABLY) TO REINFORCE THE SPIDER WITH TAPE ON THE BACK SIDE
* JoyceSBS shakes Bibi to wake her up!!!
<Janet> AND THAT WOULD KEEP IT FROM RIPPING
<Janet> WHAT CAN I TELL YOU?
<Janet> THE STITCHES ARE PRETTY EASY TO SEE HOW TO DO.
<Janet> YOU CAN DO THIS ON FABRIC OR ON CARDSTOCK. SOME OF THE COOLEST SAMPLES DOWN BELOW THE STITCHES ARE ON WALLPAPER SAMPLES
<Janet> BUENOS NOCHES, MEXICO.
<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/janet/ribbon/
<JoyceSBS> 2Hola Mexico
<Mexico> hello
<Janet> WALLPAPER IS EXCELLENT TO USE, IT'S TOUGHER THAN CARDSTOCK
<Bibi> Joyce, can I have some coffee with that?
<Janet> HI SARAH!
<JoyceSBS> 2negro o blanco?
<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/janet/ribbon/
<SarahE> Hi

<Janet> NOW THAT WE'VE HAD OUR COFFEE BREAK...<G>
<Janet> IF YOU CAN LOOK AT THE SAMPLES, YOU CAN PICK OUT THE DIFFERENT STITCHES...
<Bibi> -it's time for potty break
<JoyceSBS> 2how do you say potty break en espanol?
<Janet> IT'S NOT VERY MANY STITCHES, BUT USED IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND COLORS TO MAKE THE DIFFERENT FLOWERS
<Bibi> potto del breako
<JoyceSBS> 2didn't you just go Bibi?
<Janet> VIGO EL CUARTO DE BANO?
<Janet> NO NOT VIGO. VEGA?

<Bibi> hi

<Janet> VOY EL CUARTO DE BA~O
<Janet> THOSE IRREGULAR VERBS. BAH.
<Janet> FRENCH KNOTS CAN MAKE FLOWER CENTERS, OR BUNCHES OF GRAPES, OR LITTLE BUDS
<Janet> I THINK THE POINT OF ME ASKING FOR THE ADDITIONAL HOUR WAS TO TALK OVER HOW TO TAKE THE STAMPS WE EITHER OWN OR WILL BUY THIS WEEK..
<Janet> AND TURN THEM INTO EMBROIDERY PATTERNS
<JoyceSBS> 2vamos el cuarto del bano
<JoyceSBS> 2we'll all go together!
<Janet> WE'RE ALL GOING?? lol
<Janet> THAT'S EASIER TO SAY ANYWAY
<Janet> VAMANOS!
<JoyceSBS> 2si
<Janet> OR YOU CAN STAMP SOMETHING AND JUST ADD AN EMBROIDERED PIECE TO IT.
<Janet> LIKE THE SAMPLE I CAN'T FIND (THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER) OF THE ANGEL WITH JUST THE EMBROIDERED HALO
<Janet> I JUST USED TWO STRANDS OF FLOSS SO THE HALO DOESN'T STAND OUT A LOT, IT JUST IS METALLIC AND LOOKS SO COOL
<Janet> OR YOU CAN STAMP FLOWERS AND JUST PUT SOME FRENCH KNOTS IN THE CENTERS
<Janet> OR A WHOLE GARDEN OF FLOWERS AND JUST EMBROIDER ONE
<Janet> ATTACH LAYERS WITH STRAIGHT STITCH OR STEM STITCH OR THE RIBBON COUCHING
<Janet> LOTS OF STUFF YOU CAN DO.
<Janet> ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO HEAR.
<Janet> WAKE UP!!!!!
<JoyceSBS> 2nope, you splained it well
