Awesome work Cerise, I have been sick sick sick these last couple of days, so haven't seen what has happened until now......how long will this old thread stay though? Will we have to cut and paste it later?

I'd wondered where you'd been...mentioned to CAPS just yesterday that you hadn't been around and I was gonna have to send out the dog sled team to find ya. Sorry you've been sick.

The server crashing issues we had Thursday night/Friday were due to something in the posts/threads but after looking, Ewok couldn't determine exactly what about them was the problem, so was hesitant to move them lest it happen here (threads were disappearing!).

I understand that the "old" forums are to remain as an archive, always able to be read, just not posted on. I don't know what the plan is beyond that...at some point Capt. may want to try to troubleshoot the old forums and bring them over, or he may want to just leave them there. That's still kind of up in the air at this point. Putting the link up like I did was the 'best bandaid' solution so people wouldn't be too lost.

In any case, even if we wanted to add the links to this thread here (which isn't entirely unreasonable), I suggest we wait a bit until everything's stable...Capt. was still fixing bugs and fine tuning the features last I checked.

I did leave him a PM that this and the EI thread would need pinning, when he was able.

Hope you feel better soon!

awwwww...hugsssssssssssss Cassie.....hope you're better

[Cassie 8]

thanks guys, I hate being sick. I have to be really careful because I am susceptible to bronchitis, and this has threatened to go down that road, so I have been resting lots. And I come back and all heck has broken loose on here LOL. I am glad that we can still access the old stuff -- maybe we'll start ClearingHouse Part Deux to contain threads started here on the new forums.

PS. Karen -- I realized I haven't written ya in a dog's age -- I promise to get right on that.

Cassie, I just looked at your craft blog.

Very good work I love washing the dishes with those homemade dish clothes. I took some here with me when i moved. I love knitting myself, and painting. Not the painting like Jay Jay's........lol. But love doing the nice paint by numbers. I just finished one not long ago since I came here. Its really beautiful. It GOD's praying hands with the clouds and sun shining behind them. I really must admit I did a great job. Cant find a frame big enough for it, so have to make one. Wish I could show it to you. I must take a picture of it and let you see it. You cant tell that it's paint by numbers at all. I used to knit my two sons sweaters all the time when they were little. Now I am making a throw for our couch. Bye for now

[Cassie 8]

Yay, visitors to my craft blog! LOL I need to update that sucker.....

I really think the knitted dishcloths are a Nova Scotia thing, for sure! You wouldn't believe how many I got at my wedding shower hehe. My mom loves loves loves those kind of dishcloths, and they have to match her kitchen (oi vey LOL) -- I figure it makes her happy, and they are easy-peasy to make. If you ever run out, let me know and I'll make you some

And definitely share pictures of stuff you make -- me and Cerise love that stuff!

[Peggy 1]

I just checked out Cerise's blog too. Her work is awesome.

Awww, thanks! That's very sweet of you.

As for the dishcloths, my Mom made those as well. I've been hoarding the few I have left until I can figure out how to make them myself.

knitted dishcloths! Is that a Canadian thing? My stepmom made me a bunch! They're great!

[MarieAnastasia 0]

Knitted dishcloths (and kitchen towels) are the best thing since sliced bread. They're quite popular in Newfoundland so maybe they're a Atlantic or Maritime thing ........they're at every craftsale!! I plan on stocking up before I leave (maybe I'll learn to knit ) They are great!

I keep trying to post about Montreal medicals (whether anybody has gotten a medical a few days before their Interview.......I did call the Montreal consulate where I live so far about from getting my medical done in Newfoundland {500 miles) and they suggested getting it done the same week as my Interview date).....but either it disappears or goes to another thread. I tried 4 times.........in the Canada and the K1 threads. Anybody out there with any info? And I can't say it enough ....I LOVE VJ Hope everybody is doing well............{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

[Cassie 8]

I am serious guys, if any of you need new knitted dishcloths, holler at me, and I will make them. Or, if you want to do them yourselves, I can mail you a copy of my pattern, just PM me!. I got it during my first knitting lesson, so once you master the knit stitch, increasing, decreasing and yarn over to make a hole, you're good to go -- I know that sounds overwhelming, but most of the people in the class had it figured out by the end of the two hours.

Marie, are you looking for info on getting your medical done in Montreal? I am a wee bit confused about what you are looking for My only concern is it took me a week to get my sealed envelope of results from the medical I had in Halifax -- the doctor had to wait for the reports from the blood work and such from the hospital before he could send them to me. So I am not sure what to tell you.
