Have you called Sequoia to ask about this rose? They ARE still open for business.

Hey fellow crochetiers out there. I'm new to the Annie Attic patterns. I only found out about them last Wednesday to be exact. There are several collections that I see here on the garden web that a lot of you fellow crocheters have. Just wondering if any one would be willing to share or trade with me to help me finish some collections and get the ones you need from me if you still need or want them. Its been over twenty 25years since I've crocheted any, but now I have 6 Granddaughters all under 12 years old that I'm going to crochet for and teach how to crochet. Please, if anyone can help.

I have patterns from Annie's Attic, Needle craft, and other various articles of crocheting that someone might want that some one from this very web site was willing and was nice enough to share with me, so I feel its only right of me to share them as well. If anyone has a question about a specific pattern Email me at marygodsey92@hotmail.com giving me the name of a pattern and the origin or person who founded it and I'll check to see if I've got it and go from there. I know a lot of these Collections are on Ebay, but I can't afford to pay the prices that they are trying to sell them for, as I am disabled and unable to work now. Thanks Again. Mary

Our current dog had to be coaxed to go for walks, too. He was really reluctant to walk away from the house but would pull once he knew we were going home. I used Pupperoni (gross, low quality treats) and would slowly feed the stick through my hand, flicking little pieces ahead of us. That kept my dog focused on moving forward and getting the Pupperoni bits. If I had it to do all over again I'd look for a higher quality treat, Newman's Organics made a similar shape stick that was also easy to break off small pieces and flick forward. But since you are doing it with one hand, the consistency of the treat is important. Another thing to help your dog with walks is when you get to a new place (which could be the next driveway on the street) do some simple tricks that your dog knows really well. For my dog it was Sit and Circle. Just the act of doing something they KNOW can help boost their confidence because they aren't thinking, "What do I do now? What is that green thing in the grass? What do I do?" BTW - this is not a problem that is easy to "cure". Our dog is great now, he is very comfortable walking with me when we leave the driveway and turn left. No dice on turning right, though. It's back to coaxing and luring to get him to do that - because when we moved here 2 years ago we just always started to walk to the left (toward the park near us). Good luck!

Don't expect that you have to love someone's child, but you need to respect him and at least like him enough to smile and show kindness. Your actions and how you treat him can pattern his emotional health for life. How old Is this child? Remember he didn't choose you either. You knew you were going to help raise this child when you married father?? Did you have pre marrage interactions with the child? This happens a lot... 2 people get married and there are children involved...where do the children fit in...you and husband both must make an important place in your lives for the child...there is nothing on earth more important than the well being and happiness of children...if you can not give this child a stable life full of respect and at least deep like than I'd say you should move on. only someone that has children and can put their child in this situation could understand the hurt a little child will feel if they know their not wanted
