I embroider temari balls (Google it for some pretty pictures), using pins with different colored heads to mark the ball in various geometric patterns.

Yes and no; it depends on the pattern. Different people use different things for the core of the ball; I generally opt for Styrofoam balls from Jo-Ann's. Other options include a ball of yarn, and some people get rice hulls from home brewing supply stores and put them in the toe of an old nylon sock. Styrofoam is lighter than rice hulls, so it makes better Christmas tree ornaments, and getting a ball of yarn to be spherical and smooth is more than I can manage -- I've tried. The smaller guage the yarn is, the better.Had to look up temari balls on Google. Those are pretty

I don't trust bra measuring. I was professionally measured once and when trying on bras, they clearly measured my cup size totally wrong.
Buying clothes for women is a total guessing game. I am reasonably lucky in my height and body type, in that I can take my weight, round up to the nearest 10, drop the 0, and that's generally very close to my size. Underwear is 1/2 my clothing size. The key word in this is "GENERALLY," and for some horrid reason, the more expensive a clothing line is, the smaller the sizes tend to run. Jeans rises also very wildly (crotch to waist) making hemming a nightmare unless you put them on and have someone else pin for you. LOL...I FINALLY learned how to measure for a proper bra fit, and was I shocked! I thought I wore a 46 B, but I actually wear a 42 H, and can get by with a 44DDDD. GOOD LORD! They don't LOOK that big! But then, I am nowhere near a petite thing.
Is there maybe a timeshare nearby? A lot of owners will rent out their week if they are unable to take advantage of it in a given year.
I found a few places close to where I rented the past few years. Asked a few questions and I am thinking we will go to a new lake this time. We have been there 6? 7? years? I forget how many. So all is not lost..it's just that some of the places are already booked and Mr. Picky pants is fussy about accommodations. As long as they have cable TV and I have a decent yard to play in I am happy. oh and a halfway decent bed. One place I was looking at the bed is on a pine box-which is fine for kids-but sounds hard as a rock...guess I am a picky pants too.
In the next one, you can see that the pink one with the pentagons is incomplete; if you zoom in on it you can see the pins still in place. This is another one begun before my lost decade. My original intention was either twelve different colored stars or six, with opposite pentagons having the same colors. It also included irridescent background stars, done with a thread that was discontinued some time during my lost decade, View media item 411966View media item 411967View media item 411968View media item 411969View media item 411970View media item 411972View media item 411973View media item 411974I'm not sure why I don't have a picture of the fourth side of the tetrahedron temari; I think I had trouble focusing for some reason.
My best temari were given to my mother, and I don't have pictures of them. At some point they'll be coming back to me.

I am so sorry.Thanks Cindy, he really is. She was his little girl.
He said the crying comes in waves, & he was just letting it happen. I remember all to well what that feels like.
