Do you folks remember that I had ordered cotton cards from the Howard Brush company last year and that I had gotten them in the mail and was waiting to open them on Christmas morning? Yeah, well I got a terrible shock when I opened them and discovered that they were wool combs and not cotton combs... I sent them back and got a refund. I was so ticked off that I decided to wait and think about the cotton cards. Boy am I glad I did. I talked to Joan Ruane (Joan is like the cotton queen) about the damn things and found out that she hates the Howard Brush cotton cards. So it is a good thing that I didn't get them. I just ordered the Schacht ones and though they are just too unwieldy, Teapot has said that he will cut them down for me and adjust them to the size I want. I don't know why I didn't think of that before.
Speaking of Schacht... they have a new wheel on the market...

| It is called the Sidekick |
OMG (I just have to be modern and use this stupid acronym) it is the neatest little wheel... I think I am just going to have to give this wheel a try. I think I might like it almost or maybe even as much as I like my Majacraft Gem.
My toesies are still freezing. This sunroom really needs some flooring as the subflooring is bitterly cold. I can't wait till spring and we get time and money for the flooring. Brr!
Still looking at cars...
