When we visit any show and people look at our work and we hear them say, "well maybe next year" and we know they don't understand that for us there may not be a next year. That has now happened with a show in Texas that we waited 8 years to get into. It is so hard to be accepted because every artist wants to participate and last year was our year. It was so wonderful, truly everything everyone said it would be. Then this year we received our "decline" letter and we were brought back to earth. For those artists who get to participate in consecutive years, it is a real blessing and maybe sometime it will happen for us. We did get invited back though to several fantastic shows this year and we are very excited to know that we will be returning without worrying already. Not everyone gets that reassurance.
So for today we wait to see what happens, who will say yes this year and who will decide that this is the year for work that is different than ours. If we aren't coming back to your city it is not always our call. We are looking at lots of new venues as well this year so it might just be a really exciting 2015.

On November 29, 2013, our youngest daughter took Dick and I to lunch at Star Provisions at Westside Urban Market 1198 Howell Mill Road Atlanta. When we returned to Atlanta the following spring, I flipped through the pages of a newspaper left behind on a bench outside a coffee shop. Featured in the food section of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday, April 24, 2014 was a recipe from Star Provisions. I saved it. Fast forward eight months to December 2014. Christmas is a week away. I remembered the Star Provisions' recipe that I had saved from the newspaper... Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies. Reminiscent of fluffy mounds of snow, it would be a perfect winter cookie to send to my daughter in Atlanta... to remember the times we had spent together there. I got busy in my kitchen. She loved the cookie and the minimal ingredients and simple prep were a bonus.
The recipe makes 15 cookies using a two-tablespoon scoop. (I made 32 cookies using a one-tablespoon measuring spoon.) The recipe says to bake the cookies for 45 minutes at 200 degrees. I found that it took 1 hr 45 min for the egg whites inside the cookie to get done. Later, when I compared Star Provisions' directions to King Arthur Flour's Meringues, my baking time jived with KAF's recommendation. Here are KAF's baking instructions: "Place the meringues in the oven. After 30 minutes, reduce the oven heat to 225°F, and continue to bake for another 1 to 2 hours. For a meringue that's chewy on the inside after cooling (when you break it open, it will still be soft) bake for the shorter time (about 1 hour). When the cookie is finished its center will measure 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. For crunchy-all-the-way-through meringues, bake them for the longer time (about 2 hours). To test if they're done, pick one up; it should feel very light. Tap the bottom; it should feel hollow. Break one open; it should be dry. Taste the broken one while it's still warm; it should melt in your mouth. When the meringue is finished it should be almost white, with just a hint of color around the bottom. Turn off the oven, prop the door open and allow the meringues to cool on the pan in the oven for 30 minutes."

What to do, what to do??
I am going for it!!
I Must admit I have been a "creeper" reading this wonderfully active hosta forum literally daily for The last three summers. I have gained more information that I could ever thank you all for.
I have noticed that several people say they remove all the potting soil from newly purchased plants before they plant them.
What are the main advantages of this? I do spread out the roots but try to leave most of the soil they have been growing in. I usually even mix the stuff that falls out of the pot right into the garden soil surrounding the plant.
Should I be disregarding this soil altogether?
When I get the image thing figured out I will post my multiple central Wisconsin Great Expectations that will make you gasp!
I have read those posts too and wondered why. I do the same thing. I pull out my plant, loosen the roots (if necessary) and put the potting media right into the ground. Cant say that I've ever noticed any negative effects from it. Even if I've been given a division from a friend, I don't rinse off the soil either, just plant it right into the ground.
Pleeeeeasssee, HURRY! Lol. Need any help? We have wonderful tutors among us...
WELCOME TO THE FORUM, Hostalisa!!! :-) :-) :-) Glad you decided to "creep" in...three months you say? I didn't last that long..lol.
As you may have noticed in reading our posts, we devour hosta photos...can never have enough. Hope to hear from you often and look forward to getting to know you and your hosta, starting with your GE.
Wellcome. I don't remember those posts so I hope someone who does replies. I try not to break any roots. I do remove loose soil but don't bare root them unless I think there is a problem with the roots. Most of the growers I buy from use very loose soil and it just falls away easily. Like you say, divisions from friends, if its good soil, I just plant in the gound. BTW It's a drainage thing. Water will move through soil that is of equal density and consistant texture more easily. So divisions I receive with heavy clay (my soil is clay loam) I will try to bare root first.
I didn't answer your question..had to hurry...sorry...
re your Q...some may do this as a precautionary measure and the explanations will come forward. I didnt generally disturb my new hosta except for the occasional loosening of roots in a root bound plant, before I plant it.
I must have been influenced tho', because I find I am "cleansing" more and more. My favourite habit is washing/watering it with the ammonia solution (1/10 ratio of ammonia and water, respectively) just in case...you don't know how long it's been sitting around at source...hate slugs and their eggs! Ugh
I plant them with the soil on in amended soil after I teased the roots open.
Though advantages of rinsing off all soil they came with are
- any disease and bugs in the soil they came with are removed,
- you can inspect the roots for damage and disease, possibly see/smell rot, cut off bad roots, and spread out the roots.
- in the case you have very good soil in the pot and bad soil in the planting hole, by rinsing the roots you will not let the roots stay in the good soil forever and not bother to go into the surrounding bad soil.
(you should always amend soil to plant in with a lot of humus!)
The above steps are used in planting dwarf conifers. A lot of landscapers will plop plants from the pots into a hole and after 20 years roots of some bushes and trees are still staying in that same hole.
What I do is pull off some soil,and tease out the roots,before planting. Sometimes,you get a newly potted plant,and the potting medium just falls off,and you can see the roots right away,but some are totally root bound,and those,I tease a long time to get the roots free. I never wash off ALL the potting medium. And BTW,welcome to the forum! Phil
I think it would be prudent to gently wash off all the soil - as mentioned, in case there are bugs, worms, slugs, fungus, mold, etc. One of those "I probably should..." things - but I don't.
On the other hand - if it comes with soil,it is probably greenhouse grown and probably is not even growing in "soil" - typically greenhouses grow in "soilless mix" made up of some combination of bark, peat moss, vermiculite and so on. These are sterile mediums for the most part.
Most greenhouses are pretty careful not to allow bad guys to get into their pots... so I just never worry about this. As others have said, I tease out the roots and mix what fall off into the hole with my soil.
But the discussion is valuable. One of the typical mistakes made by gardeners relatively new to the process is that they avoid disturbing the roots - so they pop the whole root ball/soilless mix ball straight from the pot into the whole and push the soil in around it.
Unless your soil is very very sandy, it is almost certainly much heavier than pot mix. It doesn't have to be clay - black topsoil can be very heavy as well depending on the amount of humus versus mineral particles.
The result can be creating a kind of "pot" space in the soil. The roots, which are probably already growing in a circular pattern, when faced with a hard wall of garden soil versus loose potting mix will be less likely to head out in all directions - and water can accumulate in the mix and it can remain much wetter than the surrounding soil, making it prone to rot.
So I'm not too worried about the potting mix - but I do want the roots spread out to make that gentle pyramid shape that they will eventually achieve in nature.
It depends. If I am buying plants from NH Hostas I just put them in the ground as is. These plants are usually sold in 4 inch pots and are sold so that they can be planted as is.
If I'm planting one of my seedlings from a cup into a seedling bed, I bare root it first, spread out the roots and put it in prepared soil.
If I'm planting a plant from a local nursery, I check the root system first. If it's root bound with little media in the pot, then I'll loosen all the roots and bare root it if I can. Most nursery plants are root bound because nurseries need the space and don't have the time to up-pot plants when they need it. If, by some chance the plant is not root bound, I just loosen a few of the roots from the pot and plant as is.
You just don't want to put a root bound plant into the ground as it was growing in its pot. The roots will continue to circle the plant and it won't ever have a normally developed root system.
Welcome, Hostalisa! Three summers is a long time to lurk, and I'm glad to see you decided to break your cover. Heck, you've been hanging out around here before I came over to this forum, and before DonB arrived, you saw both of us explode with a full bore hosta addiction beginning last year.
We'll all be very happy to encourage you. If you have the Great Expectations I think you have, we sure cannot treat you as a "hosta newbie" because that takes skill and good climate to grow that beauty. Look forward to seeing your present hosta garden.
Didn't I read on the, ahem, Hosta Forum, that a damaged hosta root won't recover. A new one has to develop. I have avoided unbinding a pot-bound hosta but maybe the benefit of spreading roots out weighs the time it takes to grow new roots. Maybe rough love works...but how can you tell?

Texas SBOE members clash over racial balance in history
Much of the conflict centered on the racial balance of the historical figures to be included in textbooks starting in the 2011-2012 school year. Tempers boiled over when sex or religion were added to the mix.
Members grew increasingly distraught over the process as they moved toward a preliminary adoption of new social studies curriculum standards, set for today....
Mavis Knight, D-Dallas, was unable to attract any Republican support for her motion to teach students that government is not supposed to favor any religion. Knight's proposed amendment: "Examine the reasons the Founding Fathers protected religious freedom in America by barring government from protecting or disfavoring any particular religion over all others," was defeated.
Board member Cynthia Dunbar, R-Richmond, a Liberty College law professor, called Knight's proposal inaccurate.
"We don't want our religious history to be drawn from a viewpoint that is not historically accurate," Dunbar said.
Later, she said the nation's Founding Founders were not antagonistic toward religion: "They did not have a 'barring' ideology."...
Kathy Miller, president of the Texas Freedom Network, called the vote on Knight's amendment "stunning."
Religious wars in Europe pushed the Founding Fathers to guarantee religious liberty to ensure a strong and united country, said Miller, whose liberal-leaning organization monitors the board.
"Clearly, this board doesn't understand how critical that was to America's founding," she said.
David Bradley, R-Beaumont, said Republicans generally distrust their liberal colleagues.
"There's a hostility toward faith, specifically Christianity," Bradley said, calling Knight's motion "one more attempt to muddy the waters."
The board also rejected experts who recommended a sociology standard for high school students to "differentiate between sex and gender as social constructs and determine how gender and socialization interact."...
Berlanga attached copies of old signs on her desk: "This park was given for White people only. Mexicans and Negroes stay out," read one. But she failed to muster any Republican support for her amendment identifying minority Medal of Honor recipients....
Earlier in the day, Berlanga said her board colleagues are not being realistic.
"They want to believe that things were as they remember them when they were children — protected and thinking everything is fine across the world," she said. "It's all ideology. Let's not talk about the bad things that have happened in the past. Let's just talk about the great things."
Rick Agosto, D-San Antonio, said he felt frustrated because Hispanic children are entitled to more examples of contributions by Hispanics.
Agosto, Rene Nuñez, D-El Paso and Lawrence Allen Jr., D-Houston, quietly left 90 minutes before the meeting ended, leaving Knight as the lone Democratic member.
Republicans then got their way, including removing hip-hop as an example of a "significant cultural movement" in American society for high school history. Country music survived.

The German general election has resulted in a clear win for the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union bloc (CDU/CSU), led by the incumbent Chancellor, Angela Merkel. The partly-proportional Additional Member electoral system has produced a vote-share of 33.8 per cent for the bloc, far above the 23 per cent won by their main rivals, the Social Democrat Party (SPD), led by Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Ms Merkel will now be able to head a coalition with Guido Westerwelle, leader of the right-wing, pro-market Free Democrat Party (FDP), which won 14.6 per cent and is the biggest single gainer from the election. There will be a categorical change of political climate with the ending of the Grand Coalition between the centre-right CDU/CSU and the centre-left SPD. Initial assessments are that taxes will probably be cut, that Germany's 17 nuclear plants will not be decommissioned, and that the increasingly controversial German military presence in Afghanistan will be maintained for the foreseeable future. It is also likely that the post-war social consensus between labour, capital, and government will be progressively brought under more critical scrutiny, but that may not happen immediately; Germany, which with France is the strongest exponent of the consensus, is said to be leading the West towards economic recovery, and Ms Merkel will probably not allow Mr. Westerwelle to rock any boat yet.
Closer analysis, however, reveals a less decisive margin of victory for the CDU/CSU than the overall figures suggest. The turnout, down from 78 per cent in 2005 to 70.8 per cent, was the lowest in Germany's post-war history. The CDU/CSU's dismal performance in provincial elections in Thuringia and Saarland, together with a late SPD poll surge, left the overall results in some doubt until near the election itself. The eventual margin therefore makes the SPD the biggest loser, with its lowest share of the vote since the war as well as a huge loss of voters to parties on its left. In particular, the Left Party, formed by communists from the former German Democratic Republic together with western German leftists, improved its share from 8.7 per cent to 11.9 per cent. The Greens also improved, from 8.1 per cent in 2005 to 10.7 per cent. Now the SPD, purportedly the leaders of German social democracy, is in predictable disarray. They have only themselves to blame, both for rejecting what could have been a winning alliance with the Left Party in 2005 and then for accepting their Grand Coalition partner's moves towards deregulation and the unrestrained market. German social democracy may never be the same again.

Running at 60 frames per second is standard for PC games, but the hardware restrictions of consoles often force developers to aim for lower framerates in order to preserve visual detail or allow for greater scale. Thus, console games that do hit the 60 FPS mark are somewhat unusual.
Some games' graphics are composed of abstract shapes that have no particular meaning outside of their role in the game.
Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
Games that feature stages in which the player is forced to continually progress, chased by a relentless and lethal threat that covers the entire height/width of the screen.
A point within the game whereby the game saves its current state whether it be for the purpose of a more convenient respawn point or a gameplay design (such as in racing).
Collectibles are items such as coins, rings, gems, packages etc. that can be gathered, usually for some kind of reward, or sometimes to simply beat a level. Often (almost too often) the source of earning achievements and trophies on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Games with achievements for failing. For the purpose of this concept, any kind of 'achievement' is acceptable - this includes trophies or in-game accomplishments.
These games let players see the credits without needing to play the game first.
Sony's official initiative of bundling multiple PlayStation versions of a game into a single purchase/package.

Sometimes designers add old-school things on purpose to enhance game design.
Desura is a community driven digital distribution service for games.
Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.
A double jump is the ability to jump while already in mid-air to get some extra lift. In reality, double jumps are not possible and violate fundamental laws of physics.

This concept is for games where the main playable character is female.
Not all games are made by dev teams with massive budgets. In fact, some games were made in Adobe Flash before becoming a commercial product.
The concept of a game referencing another game through mockery, parody or even directly. A game reference to the same franchise does not count.
An ongoing series of charity sales where consumers pay whatever amount they want for a bundle of games, often from indie developers.
"Indie" or "independently developed" games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
With the internet in full swing, some games reflect its leak into popular culture by making references to the World Wide Web.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
Jumping puzzles are generally implemented in fast-paced action games as a way to slow down the progress of the player. Failure often results in certain death.
Lens Flare is a dynamic graphical effect that emulates visual artifacts that can appear on an image captured by a camera with a lens. This effect is not limited only to sunlight.
Instead of having the game decide for you which level you should go to next, you can choose the level you want to play.
Loading Screens are specific screens that are displayed while a game is loading resources so that the player has something to distract them while the game loads. Loading Screens can be images, text or even mini-games - and sometimes a combination of all three.

Christmas is Coming and We are Getting Ready! (many pix)
We spent five days before Thanksgiving getting ready for Christmas, as our first holiday party is this week! We did a few different things this year, including alpine trees on the patio decorated with burlap ribbon and cotton bolls. Many relatives who came for Thanksgiving are cotton farmers who not only noticed, but LOVED those trees :-)
The nutcrackers were a big hit with the children, as always, and I replaced the living room stair garland this year with a fabulous hand made faux magnolia garland that looks so real everyone was feeling it.
Those who may remember the coaster thread a month or so ago will see that this place setting just uses the plain 'ole crystal and silver ones. Never did find any that looked better with the place setting. The rectangular plate on the top left is glass painted with a vintage Christmas card look, I am using these as bread plates this year. The salad plates are a different pattern of Limoges with green and gold around the rim.
Magnolia on the bottom iron and crystal chandelier in the living room:

In the library, nutcrackers on top of the bookcases:
some of the nutcrackers on the piano:
On the table in the library hall, small glass nutcracker ornaments on the tree and nutcrackers from the Wizard of Oz and the Nutcracker ballet:
Front of portico:
Near the circle drive at front:
Close up of pine garland over door; the white bows are a heavy embroidered ribbon and the streamers are a narrower, lighter silk.
From porch looking out to circle drive:
More later!
I think we are coming for Christmas this year, MIL has stopped driving on the highway and can't come to us. Would love to make the porch tour this year!
Found the garland at a florist in our town, he had two 12-ft garlands and one 36" wreath and it was so lifelike I got it all. Will see if I kept any of the vendor tags, pretty sure he got it at the merchandise mart in Atlanta.
Here is the wreath on the screened porch. I had a burlap bow made for it but it was nicer without! There is an 8" x 4" x 4" deep plastic container wired behind the bottom rim (cannot see it for the leaves) that can hold two four inch pots or oasis and fresh flowers.
Lol, Oakley, that red and green stripe is on two club chairs! In that room I also have a pink and green small check sofa and a green cut velvet sofa. I could do no decorating at all and still be ready for Christmas!
Gosh, catmom, anymore decorating and I would be a basket case!
Mtn, I bought those glass plates from that bakery supply place in Utah, they were on backorder an entire year and I finally got them about a month ago. I am going to use them at every opportunity this season!
Yes, the cotton trees! Here are some photos of the back. All the hanging baskets we lined with pine garland and then plopped in a 6" red poinsettia..,easy!
Here are the trees, not a very good picture (phone)
Over the summer I bought replacement cushions for the outdoor sectional sofa, and found the perfect Merry Christmas pillows so that it all looks good with the Constable exhibition banners:
I found this totally cute twig gate with lights and it was far too big to use where I had planned--- dimensions were way off--- so we put it across a small river rock bed (that used to be a hose drain) and massed the summer ferns behind it. When the frost gets them they'll be replaced with red poinsettias. The bow was actually made for the porch wreath:
The alstroemerias I had planted in these pots (and all other potted plants) were replaced with rosemary topiaries.
. There are seven or eight more of these, and they lend a nice, calm uniformity that plays well against the bright color and shapes of the poinsettias.
Beautiful! Love your nutcrackers. Funny I just bought a lovely faux magnolia wreath at a florist yesterday and it looks exactly like yours. I had to feel it to see if it was real. Love that you used cotton bolls somewhere, but I didn't see them either. I seriously thought about stopping on the side of the road and going to cut some this year, but thought better of it without stopping to ask permission. Love everything!
Thanks, outside! The cotton is on those outside trees in the bad photo, will take a better picture today. One of dh's uncles keeps cotton bolls in his truck and gives them out to show people how beautiful the plant really is. He has been on agricultural missions to other countries and trade organizations and boards for cotton---and his wife our aunt is the one who actually created Martha Stewart's cotton wreath for her in the 90's!
Where did you find the trees that your cotton bolls are in? I have been looking for something like that for my small den.
Love the tree theme! We went to the beach a few weeks ago in SC and saw acre after acre of cotton fields. They were beautiful! I wanted so badly to stop and pick a boll, but DH wouldn't stop the car. :( OK, it would have been stealing...I get that.
Gorgeous!!! So charming and elegant!!
FYI for folks who love the cotton items: There are crafters on Etsy that do work with cotton -- including wreaths, etc. -- I do LOVE your trees! :)
And the magnolia is wonderful! :)
Honestly -- your home is so magazine-cover-story pretty! :)
Thank you all! Newhomebuilder, I bought those alpine trees (trunk is real bark) at a store called Southern Hospitality in Plant City, Fl back in the mid 1990s. Two of the trees are 5 ft and one is 5.5 ft., I think. One of the three is more of a fir type and the others a sort of scrub pine. I've seen that type of tree around lately, so they are very likely still available.
Dee, I mislaid my camera and have been taking pictures with my phone--- it's a poor substitute for a real camera, and these pictures are the worst!
Lyban,, you are 100% right, last Christmas we were still doing construction on the front! We also had a sealant put on the patio that I absolutely hated, and had it chemically treated to get the sealant off (which took weeks). There were no decorations and we all missed them. The tour was four years ago, it was an exhausting but wonderful experience!
Lol, Bronwynsmom, "extravagance and restraint," love that description! I would dearly love a real magnolia and have been thinking of putting in some of the Little Gem variety that don't get so large. There is something magical about those leaves and the fragrance of the flowers. When i was growing up we spray painted a bunch of them gold every year, I think the 11th commandment in Atlanta was Thou shalt decorate with gold magnolia leaves at Christmas !
Do you still have the old slide show that Dee was talking about? I need inspiration desperately! For the first time in my life I'm not in the holiday spirit for some reason. I've done one little crafty project so far. I really think it has to do with this unsually warm weather we're having and the continued drought.
I know what you mean about your house being Christmasy all year because I decorate in the same colors. I think that's why I consider my house to be calming and cheery at the same time.
Here is a link to the slide tour, Oakley. If there is a password still required, it is: Christmas.
Here is a link that might be useful: 2008 Christmas Tour of Homes
That was fun! I got to go on a Christmas House Tour while I drank my tea. Your home looked beautiful! No wonder it takes you days to decorate. It would be a sin not to do a lot of entertaining over the holidays after doing all that work. How do you manage to keep your paperwhites so straight? Mine tend to go plop when they reach that height. I'm also coveting your red table runner with Santa. I hope you won't mind if I ask you where you found that. I love it!
kswl, thanks for posting the link to the house tour. Just fabulous...you have so much stuff and such great ideas....did you have to start decorating in July????
Your home is just beautiful.
Here are mine. Finished up on Sunday, but there's much less to do in an urban environment--not that I didn't end up spending $400 on crap at the nursery, which still doesn't include the $650 fake (but very convincing) tree.
Your garlands are beautiful, Kevin!And you have the best red, white and blue tree I have ever seen, usually those colors give a patriotic, non-Christmassy look to a tree, but yours looks very seasonal and festive. Nice job!
We did the white wood trees, sleigh and reindeer on top of an armoire in the blue bedroom this year. Those tags around the reindeers' necks belonged to dogs we owned over the years who are now gone.
Close ups of the blue room tree: .
Brass bowl on the entry table filled with 50 shades of green glass ornaments, lol!
Vase in the LR--- filled with tall holly and big branches with pinecones
dusted with "snow," and hung two metal holly leaves around it's neck gives this a whole new look:
The Irish tree in DS2's room:
More to come, if you can stand it!
I should be mad at you, as I was diligently ignoring all Christmas posts, trying to remain in an Autumn frame of mind for another week or two . . . but once I took a peek at your beautifully decorated home, Kswl, I was lost(LOL)!You've managed to create such a lovely, festive and still very fresh feel throughout your home. I enjoyed every pic, including all of the 2008 home tour. You have a restrained touch when it comes to decorating that really allows your decorations to be showcased beautifully. I loved the photo of your little Lucy, too. Many thanks for short-circuiting my plans to ignore Christmas for two more weeks (LOL)!

The last couple months I've been keeping pretty darn busy, doing a lot of cool stuff! Making Emo Pumpkins for Joann Fabric, celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary, hosting family, celebrating Thanksgiving, and most recently, putting on a craft night for my MOPS group!
Whew!! a really satisfied whew, not an exasperated whew. This is what I love.
We made Nativity sets for our craft night. I fell in love when I saw these rustic nativity sets from Kennakee and ThatsSewPersonal Etsy shops, and was inspired to try putting together one of my own.
A lot of pieces to assemble! All for one craft too, holy moly. In hindsight this was probably not the best option for a large group. Oh well, we had a good time!
Here's how we made our Nativities. It looks like a lot of directions, but that's just because there are 7 characters and a sheep and all their accessories. Get your glue gun cooking, roll up you sleeves, and let's roll!
- Seven 1 1/2" wooden ball knobs, found mine at Hobby Lobby
- 3/4" round wooden ball, Hobby Lobby
- 2x2 board, 96"long, Home Depot
- 1 1/2" x 3/4", 6" long
- 1/4 yd. white burlap
- 3"x 9" muslin fabric (optional, for Jesus' swaddle)
- Four 1x1 wooden blocks
- 46" jute cord, cut into two 15" and three 8" pieces
- 8" stick, from a tree ;)
- Craft paint in light gray, medium gray, and dark gray
hot glue gun, paint brush, sand paper
1. Cutting
I really wanted to use the power saw for this project, but Jason in his infinite wisdom wouldn't let me anywhere near it. So aggravating! What?? You want a wife with all her fingers still attached? such artificial standards men have these days. I begrudgingly let him cut all the boards for me. Thanks, Babe, you are probably right about me and saws. Gimme a high 9!
However you get it done, get the 2x2 board cut into 7 pieces, or bases.
Three 5"- Mary, Wise Man #1, and Wise Man #2
Two 5 1/2"- Joseph, Shepherd
Two 6"- Angel, Wise Man #3
Cut the 1 1/2 x 3/4 board into two pieces
2 1/2"- sheep
3"- Jesus
2. Fabric
You can eyeball it on your own, or download the templates I made here, and here. The Angel wings and Mary's veil are burlap, and Jesus' swaddle is the muslin.
3. Assembly Time!
All the characters follow the same steps.
Paint a 5 1/2" base with one light coat of medium gray. I made my coat light so I could see the wood grain underneath, and it would be easier to sand once dry. After a couple minutes it should be dry enough to sand the edges, and some other spots here and there, and glue a large wooden ball "head" on.
Paint a 5" base light gray, one light coat like Joseph! Sand the edges and glue a head on (here after S&G!). Gluing on the veil is a bit tricky, my advice is to start conservative with the glue and add dots here and there until it looks right! I glued the top and back of Mary's head first, then added glue to the sides of her head, and sides of her body.
Paint the 3" wood block white. S&G* the small head on. It might help to sand down one side of the ball so it rests flat on the block. Glue the swaddle to the base, leaving enough room for it to fold over Jesus' head a bit, and crisscross over his body. I did this on one set, and decided I liked it better without. There was just a lot going on between Mary's veil and Jesus' blankets, haha. Totally personal choice! Finally, glue Jesus to Mary.
*see Mary's directions
Shepherd and Sheep
Paint one 5 1/2" base dark gray. S&G. Glue the stick to the front and tie a 15" jute tie around Mr. Shepherd's waist. Paint the 2 1/2" block and one 1x1 wood block white. Sand the edges and glue the block "head" to the sheep.
Paint a 6" base white. S&G. Tie a 15" jute tie around his waist and glue the wings on the back.
Wise Men and Presents
Wise Man #1- paint a 5" base light gray, S&G.
Wise Man #2- paint the last 5" base medium gray, S&G.
Wise Man #3- paint the last 6" base dark gray, S&G.
Tie three 8" jute ties around three wooden blocks, and glue one to the tallest Wise Guy.
For kicks I made a set in color as well as the grays. Which one is your favorite?
I had such a great time crafting with my MOPS ladies! By the way, if you have preschoolers and you've never been, MOPS rocks! They have them all over, and it's a fantastic friend base and support group. I heart my MOPS <3.
Have a great week! Happy December!!

HAVE: Have these left
This is what I have left:
Aphrodite, Blue Jay, Blue Monday, Captain Kirk large plant, Cinnamon Sticks, Dixie Chicks, Fire Opal large pieces, Fire Island, Gloriosa, Gold Tiara large pieces, Gold Standard, Night before Christmas large pieces, Pacific Blue Edger, Pineapple Upsidedown Cake, Strip Tease one larger pot a few smaller, Spilt Milk, Two miles of Lancifolia!, A large Sum and Substance I will have to dig up, Venusta - large trade, another mini with lighter green leaves no name, and one trade of Embroidery for something special. Many are more than one eye, I'm willing to be generous for something I'm looking for. Most of them are in pots so there won't be too much transplanting shock. Here's a few of what I'd like: Corkscrew, Emerald Ruff Cut, Guardian Angel, Ice Age Trail, Queen of the Seas, Indian Feathers, Orance Slices, Solar Flare, Lakeside Dragonfly, LS Knick Knack, Parhelion, Tidewater and mini or dwarf hostas. Anything different and distinct that stands out in the garden. I also have some other zone 4 hardy perennials left. Prefer larger trades to many small ones.

Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty my best option for a sloped bridge and a more refined tip? (photo)
I was wondering if my nose type would be a good candidate for a non-surgical nose job. I want my nose to be less bulbous and for it to protrude out of my face less. I would also like for it to have a more sloped bridge. Would the non-surgical route be a good option for me?
Doctor Answers 8
Possible changes with nonsurgical rhinoplasty
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is great for adding volume and height to the nose, and thereby creating refinement. However with your nose, you already have good projection and height, so further augmentation would not be attractive. Surgical rhinoplasty would be the best option for achieving your cosmetic concerns.

No good option other than rhinoplasty to have a smaller nose
Only a rhinoplasty can achieve the improvements you desire. Seek out a board certified rhinoplasty specialist with excellent training and experience to start. Fillers are not the answer for you.
Nonsurgical nose job
Injecting fillers into the nose will only make the nose bigger and wider and higher, not smaller. A surgical rhinoplasty can shave down the hump and reduce the columellar show and narrow the tip and bridge line.

Rhinoplasty for bulbous tip etc.
Rhinoplasty for bulbous tip etc. is your best choice NOT fillers. Fillers will not do what u want. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural noses.
Not a good candidate for a non-surgical rhinoplasty
You are not a good candidate for a non-surgical rhinoplasty. Sometimes fillers can be used to improve tip projection as well as smoothing down a dorsal hump. Injections can not reduce tip projection.
Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty my best option.
Non surgical techniques involve temporary fillers, or in some cases fat to fill out a dent or minor imperfections, the key here is fill out. Reduction in size or projection of the nose can't be accomplished with a filler or injection. Only surgery will do.
Web reference: http://peterejohnsonmd.com/facial-rejuvenation/nasal-shaping/
Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty my best option for a sloped bridge and a more refined tip?
NO!!!! You need a full rhinoplasty operation to decrease the size... Best you seek IN PERSON opinions from boarded surgeons...
"Non-Surgical" Rhinoplasty
The term "non-surgical" rhinoplasty is used to describe a technique where the nasal contour is changed or modified by the injection of fat or fillers. For example asymmetries or depressions may be improved. In your case I would not use this approach because adding material to your nose will not make it smaller.

... Soon he was eating from my hands and just would not give up and just sat there until I finally got up and left.
After another wonderful walk around this great city I made my way to the railway station to meet the group and board our train to the town of Thun which is situated on the banks of Lake Thun.
As we passed Thun earlier on the train to Bern I noticed a old paddle steamer parked up in the docks and was hoping this was going to be our ship back to Interlaken ...
Weekend at Berney (3rd-9th July)
... had an awesome time. We had some great fellowship with the saints, and made some great friends which we will have for the rest of our days. We are a bit disappointed about not getting up into the mountains, but we are hoping to get a chance to come back and hope for better weather. We wouldn't be too disappointed about seeing the guys again either. So after 3 weeks touring around in Alpine country, we are now headed down into the French lowlands and on to visit our brethren in ...

After the sticker-shock wore off, we took a short mountain train to a place called Harder-Kulm. At the top there are great views of the town, the mountains, and the surrounding lakes. Thankfully, the weather was good today too. We took our photos then relaxed at the terrace ...

When we finally made it down from the trail, fortunately avalanche free, we had a quick drink at base camp and then it was time for me to say goodbye.

It was quite sad to leave the family behind, but their adventures in Europe will continue… as will ...

Waipouli Beach Resort (WBR), is a luxury waterfront property just 8 miles from the Lihue Airport. This beautiful beachfront resort is located centrally between the Princeville Area with its famed Napali Coast and The Beaches of Poipu.
The resort offers great amenities. It has a lazy river pool, full spa, restaurant/bar, fitness center and is in walking distance from shops, grocery and restaurants. WBR offers everything a luxury hotel does, yet it is less expensive than an ocean view hotel room while providing more than triple the space. Enjoy a wonderful vacation. Reserve your dates today.
Fabulous View! Gorgeous Condo and it had everything we needed! The resort was very well maintained and quiet. We came with our 4 & 6 year olds and they absolutely loved all the different kid areas in the pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful with booking Luau's & sailing/snorkeling trips. We will definitely be back!
We spent a week in this condo and we were very pleased. It is on the top floor with a beautiful view of both the pool and the ocean. The condo is very nicely decorated and I loved all the art. It is very tropical and comfortable with all the amenities for a vacation in paradise. The owner was very helpful. I would recommend to any of my friends or relatives. It is a great location on the island, two grocery stores nearby and plenty of restaurants too. It is an easy drive to the north shore or the south shore. I got up to photograph the sunrises every morning from the beach in front of the resort. This island is absolutely beautiful. Would recommend the Photo Tour which departs a few blocks from the resort and Captain Andy's Northern Star catamaran to the Napili Coast.
We had the time of our lives in Kauai! Walked in the condo--WOW! Lynn, I appreciated all the extra things you provided like the iPod dock for playing music, beach umbrella, beach towels, aloe vera for sunburns, etc! Your luxury condo exceeded my high expectations! The lanai provided a perfect view of the ocean whether drinking morning coffee or watching sunsets. We relaxed in the pool and hot tub and enjoyed a delicious dinner with an ocean view at the resort restaurant, The Oasis on The Beach (make reservations!). Condo is centrally located, less than 15 minutes from the airport. Waipouli Town Center is across the street: Safeway, Long's Drug, Vitamin World, Starbucks, McDonalds, Subway, ABC stores & more. One of the highlights of our trip was taking a tour of the island on the Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Some of the breathtaking sights of this garden island can only be seen by helicopter, and I was not nervous like I thought. Enjoyed snorkeling and seeing the Na Pali coast on Captain Andy's Sailing Adventures . Both of these companies are first class and I highly recommend them. We explored one end of the island to the other, but did not get enough of Kauai. We were sad to leave this paradise. We plan to return again and stay in your condo. It's the best kept secret!
This is easily one of the best condos we've ever rented on VRBO. The location is ideal for exploring the whole island. The resort is clean and new, with great pools and an oceanfront location. But we were totally blown away when we entered the suite: loved the size, the décor, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the view!! We couldn't have asked for more. It made our entire vacation that much more enjoyable to have this apartment to come back to after a day hiking, surfing, or whatever! Not sure which we enjoyed more: the island itself, or Lynn's condo! You cannot go wrong staying here...
We've talked about going to Hawaii for 25 years. We researched islands and places to stay thoroughly. I'll be the first to say I'm picky. This condo did not dissapointd, it was the best unit We've ever rented. Going to sleep at night to the sound of the waves breaking and waking up to the view was one of the highlights of our trip. The unit was clean and had everything we needed, down to sun block and beach chairs. Lynn was fantastic to deal with. Thank you Lynn, This was the best vacation we've ever had!
This is a great place to stay in Kauai. You are in a great location with Safeway across the street and an easy drive to any part of the island in a reasonable amount of time. The unit is great with plenty of room, spacious kitchen, A/C, and washer and dryer in the unit. Great view from the lanai and the river pool with water slides and hot tubs can't be beat!
Owner easy to work with when A/C blew and was prompt to get it fixed again.
We have stayed here twice and would love to stay here again when we come back to vacation in Kauai!
Clean, modern amenities like stainless steel appliances/granite counters. Kitchen perfect for making breakfast but not a "Chefs kitchen" since it doesn't have a gas range. Clean sheets, plenty of towels, & washer/dryer made easy to pack light. Balcony faces pool, restaurant kitchen, & pool waterfall (which was a bit loud) Since I'm a light sleeper couldn't leave the A/C on cuz noise coming on/off kept waking me. 4yr old son loved the pool/slides! Pool patio cleaned EVERY morning 5am so very well maintained. Thurs morn.kids can feed Koi. On-site restaurant:good drinks, food, and excellent service! Wonderful Papaya's Natural Food store across the street & Safeway for all other shopping. Stop-light to cross highway take several minutes (no joke) Recommend walking up to the road towards Kapaa. There's a few shops & restaurants. Bought some sweet authentic made-in-Hawaii shirts for husband. Ono's family restaurants has "da-bomb" breakfast! Even have home-made coconut syrup for chocolate pancakes. Their shaved-ice is pretty good too. Sushi Bushido: great cocktails, service, & their sushi was Ok but I'm a bit of a "raw fish snob" so I like the more traditional fresh fish & not all the rolls with stuff. Ordered a "to-go" from Brick Oven Pizza. Pizza was just OK. Walked to the Bull Shed next door cuz was told they have "grass-fed" local beef there. They were wrong. It's an expensive Sizzler with great ocean views, wouldn't recommend it. Go to Tiki Tacos. Owners are way cool & are all about sustainable local food & leaving a small footprint on earth. Most everything there is organic/local. I had fish, lamb, beef, & chicken tacos. Not as good as tacos from La Paz but still very tasty. Whenever I travel I always try to go to where the locals go. So when in Lanai and Poipu, ate at "The Fish Express" & "The Fish Market" which I highly recommend!!! Mark's Place I hear is good but only open on week-days so I missed out. Ate at Brenneke's at Poipu Beach because it's kind of a "tradition" for my husband and I. Poipu Beach is a great place to take kids as well as Lydgate which was a 5 minute drive south of property. Lydgate is a local beach. Don't recommend the wooden splintered kids park. Places to go: Kipu Ranch ATV Tour(Jurraisic Park&Indiana Jones swing into river!)McBride Gardens Tour:Beautiful! (need lots of bug spray) Waimea Canyon(worth the drive) and Shore Dive with Derek at Seasport Divers (If you have little one and can't go on boat dive)
Other Activities: shopping, kayaking, boating, spa, zip lining

The Smart Lens prototype. Photo courtesy of Alcon.
Swiss drug maker Novartis Group said July 15 that its eye care unit, Fort Worth-based Alcon, will join with a division of Google Inc. to develop and market a smart contact lens for all ocular medical uses.
The smart lens technology involves non-invasive sensors, microchips and other miniaturized electronics that are embedded within contact lenses.
Google's new smart lens technology has the potential to help diabetic patients manage their body's glucose and help people with presbyopia to restore their eyes' natural autofocus on near objects.
"We are looking forward to working with Google to bring together their advanced technology and our extensive knowledge of biology to meet unmet medical needs," said Novartis CEO Joseph Jimenez. "This is a key step for us to go beyond the confines of traditional disease management, starting with the eye."
Under the new agreement, Google[x], a team within Google, will bring its expertise in miniaturized electronics, microfabrication and low power chips, while Alcon will provide the medical know-how in physiology and visual performance of the eye as well as commercialization of contact and intraocular lenses.
The transaction remains subject to anti-trust approvals.
The three Alcon businesses – surgical, pharmaceutical and vision care – generated net sales of $10.5 billion in 2013. Alcon has more than 25,000 employees worldwide, with operations in 75 countries and products available in 180 markets.

Although it's a brunch favourite, poached eggs make Eggs Benedict notoriously difficult to prepare for a crowd.
A snow day is a great excuse to stay in your jammies and make a big deal of breakfast. These cornmeal waffles make a tasty vehicle for crisp bacon. Lie strips directly onto the batter as it cooks. Douse with maple syrup.
This is a great basic scone recipe to warm you up on snowy, wintry weekends. Swap other berries, dark chocolate, dried fruit or chopped nuts to do your own thing.
Recent studies may claim the morning meal isn't that important, but a balanced breakfast still comes out on top.
High in fibre and not too sweet, these moist banana-flax muffins make the perfect start to a busy morning.
How do you like your cereal?
Basil Cheddar Scones from the Messy Baker are wonderfully cheesy, slightly sweet, with a burst of fresh basil. Perfect for balancing on the edge of a bowl of tomato soup - the ultimate fall comfort food.
Saskatoon berry jam is a Canadian favourite once the regional berries come into season; I find that other tart berries pair well with them in jam - chokecherries, huckleberries, raspberries and blackberries all work well.
If you're hoarding cherries this summer, they're delicious halved and stirred into a batch of muffins.
How completely adorable are these? Deviled eggs made with coloured eggs, stood upright and filled to look like chicks coming out of their shells!

Qiagen acquired licenses from Roche and Idaho Technology related to the use of instrumentation and reagents for PCR-based molecular testing. The agreements cover thermal cycler rights and real-time PCR methods for diagnostics and all other applications. In addition, the deals also include rights for high-resolution melting-curve analysis (HRM) technology. This PCR platform can be used on Qiagen's Rotor-Gene Q and adds to traditional real-time PCR. The company believes that it opens up a broad array of applications such as mutation discovery, pathogen detection, and methylation analysis. Qiagen says that it is the first Idaho Technology/Roche licensee that can offer HRM-related instruments and reagents in all formats and for all purposes in research and diagnostics worldwide. "This additional IP portfolio enables us to develop and market PCR solutions based on the most advanced technologies for molecular diagnostics," says Achim Ribbe, executive director business development. "HRM allows additional differentiation for genotyping and can be extremely well leveraged on our Rotor-Gene Q HRM instrument."We now have a PCR intellectual property estate that we believe is truly unique. It puts us in the position to offer our customers in molecular diagnostics, pharma, applied testing, and life science research the latest PCR technology running on the most versatile platform and covering all markets and fields including human in vitro diagnostics."
