secret ingredient to round out the flavor..... liquid smoke! (or even smoked meat) everyone always asks what gives it that little extra oomph!

They have one of those beer crate buildings in Brussels - near the Atomium. I think it's some sort of Museum... probably about beer.

It makes any roadtrip more fun! On our way to Cincinnati last month my aunt & I visited the largest horseshoe crab in Ohio!

Another place to check out upholstery supplies is in Quincy on Water Street (not far from Quincy Center). It's called New England World Wide Upholstery. I've bought lots of supplies there and costs are reasonable.

Peekay -- PUMA City has already spent 34 days in Alicante, Spain at the start of the Volvo Ocean Race... this is it's last stop on the current tour but be prepared to see it pop up in the future!

I'm taking an upholstery class at the moment and our teacher is having us use cotton to give our chairs their padding/shape. Not the cotton batting you find in a quilt shop, but a roll of cotton that you can rip off to the shape you need.
We do use a little foam on top to give it more shape, but he tells us that cotton lasts 100 years... foam only 4-5

They're from IKEA - not sure if they still have them. I got a few last spring and they have lids so you can use them to store things in as well.

I started making wedding quilts for friends, and now everyone is lining up for one. They get to pick the colors and a few patterns - those I know well enough get a suprise I pick out.

I use it the same way - the magnets in it are actually strong enough that I only have to use one (not back to back) and it doesn't come off at all. You have to pry it from the fridge when I go to clean it.

I have used this toaster/micro for 3 yrs now and it is still working great. It's smaller size means you have the toaster, but it doesn't take up more space than a regular microwave. I do have to agree that I don't use the microwave as much as the toaster.

i've attempted a similar project - the singer book mentioned above is the best i've found... make sure to set aside enough time to work slowly on it AND it helps to use the previous covering as a pattern (easier to modify than going from scratch)
Good luck!!
