Transfer from Yahoo 360 to Yahoo Profile

This seems to be the new address of my Chillyhollow Needlepoint Yahoo Profile. This doesn't take you straight to the blog--you have to click on a link on the right side of the page. Sorry, I can't find a direct URL for the blog yet. Everything has transferred except keywords (HOW THE HECK CAN WE FIND ANYTHING WITHOUT KEYWORDS??!!!?!?!?!) and the slide shows (but I think if you click View All you can still see them) and second photos in blog entries that had more than one photo.

Could some folks test this please? Thanks!

The Wisteria Teapot Is Done


Last night I finished laying 4 plies of white Gloriana silk across the cotton perle padding to make the latticework and finish the wisteria teapot. I am not 100% happy with how it looks as the white painted area varies a bit from area to area and that is noticable, making the latticework a bit uneven. But since there is nothing I can do about it, I will let it alone. I don't think anyone but me will notice this. I'm quite pleased with it otherwise, although I think now the little bit of brown Accentuate I added here and there on the wisteria vine stem was unnecessary.

Now it goes into the pile of finishing! Which somehow is getting larger, not smaller!

In totally unrelated news, I got a note from Yahoo this morning that Yahoo 360 is shutting down the second week of July. I will have to move the blog contents from here to their new "social networking" site. I'm going to do this because there are more visitors to the Yahoo 360 blog than the Blogspot one, and I know many of you can't see Blogspot. But there will be changes. You'll have to go to a new address and I think some things (like the keyword tags) will disappear. Bear with me while I try and figure out how to do this. I'll keep everyone informed and once all the settings are done, I'll copy/paste the Yahoo 360 blog over and we'll see how it works.

Stay tuned! But if you hate change, you might want to try out the Blogspot blog. At least I know it works. I always post the Blogspot address at the end of each message.
