 I hope you fired her. She will eventually steal from you if she hasn't already.

So, why are table runners always made in 72 inch lengths? That is just not long enough for my dining table. All the cute ones are too short and it's annoying. My table is 66 inches long, so the table runners dangle 3 inches off the end, which looks stupid.

 Runners don't need to go from end to end.  Make your own.  I have the opposite problem, my table is 100"

You need to go to a local quilting shop and ask if they have customers who would custom make a table runner for you.

For the right price, I bet someone would love to take the job.

Good luck.

 But I want the cute ones I see in the store, with bunnies and flowers.  I think it would get very pricey to have one made for every holiday and season.

When you're 2 years old, have ignored your bowl of peaches that you wanted, decided to eat them 2 minutes before lunch is going to be fixed, and have a whopper of a tantrum because you can't have more peaches.

Me too. I want two actually. Need one for my dad. Thinking about his nickname. I have the words Madre and Sorella (mother and sister in Italian ) on my right calf. It's got a design around it. I want to do his nickname on top of my shoulder. It's Hoppy, I want to have a halo over the O.

 You would love our eggs. They are blue and brown! The one farmer that sells us eggs has a cult following because the shells are so pretty. They are the only ones DD will let me buy now. They are delicious as well as pretty. She (the farmer) feeds organic feed to the chickens and they are cage free. And delicious. 

I would love if you came shopping at my store - but getting the stuff home might be an issue for you! Lol

LOL Yes it would! We just found a farmer near here who raises organic chickens. They sell egg, in tons of colors!, for next to nothing. It's about a 30 minute drive but DH and I are thinking about going out there. We also found a place out by us that raised all organic, no hormone, no antibiotic, low fat content beef. It's kind of pricey but we're looking into it.

 If you can buy half the cow it would be pretty economincal I bet. We just bought half a pig. When you look at what you get in total, it is a pretty good deal. 

Our farmers here have CSA's. It stands for community supported agriculture. You pay a flat fee every month to the farmer and you get a set number of items in return. One of them is a 5 bushel basket of assorted produce, PLUS all the flowers and other assorted produce you can pick. It's a great deal. The chicken farmer I was talking about does one too and for $50 a month you get 4 dozen eggs and 4 whole chickens (ready to cook) a month. Her eggs retail for $5.29 a dozen so it's not a bad deal at all either. If you like chicken, which we do.

Actually, that's another first world problem of mine. I can't decide if I want to commit to the CSA that requires me to drive to the farm. I would rather commit to the one that delivers to my store - but that one doesn't have as good of a selection.

I think they were selling the eggs for $3.55/dozen. We had just bought three dozen for ten dollars when we saw this. So we need to wait a bit. You have to order the cow the season ahead of time. I guess so they know how much they need. Ironically I heard on the tv today that doctors are saying meat that has been treated with antibiotics are making kids more immune to antibiotics. Not that this is an issue for me but I did find it interesting.
