Jacqui is wonderful, isn't she! Kendall is such a lucky duck!

Yes, you would think Kendall would be seen wearing a nice shawl or two. What a waste.

The P-Vine has been the recipient of two of Jacqui's pieces of fine art...

BTW, we have been looking for that address since the move so that a formal "thank you" note could be sent...

On that whole "polishing a turd" thing, I'm betting it's possible. You can polish mud and come up with a dorodango. I'm guessing you could polish a large-is turd, and call it a doroDUNGo. I think it's likely no one would want to, and a high fiber content would definitely wreck it.

Anybody got a photo?

Where did my post go?

A few months ago the TV Mythbusters proved that you really can polish a turd. I won't remember what critter it was from, but they polished it to a nice gloss.

Something has to be done about Jacqui; it's hard for anyone else to come off as really classy, so long as she's around for comparison.

Dan - I was blown away by what your girls did for their mother - couldn't let that go by unnoticed. Good for the Post Office, getting it delivered so fast.

Bobert - I'm just happy the second shawl made it to the correct address.

Kendall didn't get a shawl - he got a bedspread - you can see it
here. It's a bit too big for him to wear.

Those are definitely his colors, though Jacqui. Maybe just a beanie?

Wow, Jacqui, that is so intricate! Who wouldn't want to go to bed with that on them!?:-)

There are a bunch of us who have been recipients of Jacqui's largesse and passion for keeping her fingers busy. MMario has done a lot of them, too. In fact, we even have a thread for the Handmade Catters Shawl Recipient Club.

Jeri, thanks for the next project for Morgan and I to do...mudballs...wonderful. My sisters once made mud cookies and it was told me that my brother started to eat one before he realised what it was!

LEJ - I made him a couple of beanies for when he's working under the car. He won't wear them in public though, says it would spoil his street cred.

Beautiful Jacqui.....We love ours too and your work is wonderful!

As to turd polishing.......So even if you can polish one:
1) Would you want to do it?
2) What the hell would you do with it?
3) Why even try?
4) Do you know anyone who would want one?

Coprolite (fossilised dinosaur poo) can be polished - you can buy it on ebay.

Jacqui, I have interested parties who would pay a substantial cash award for a photograph of the Captain in a crocheted purple and white beanie. In fact, I can't think of a Mudcat Auction item that would have a greater demand.

I saw the shawls before they shipped - a stunning shade of sapphire blue. Beautiful.
So is the bedspread.

Mine is a work in progress. LOL I am about to get some abuse.

Are there photos of these shawls? They're all works of art, I'd love to see them! (I agree with Jacqui - she sent them to some very deserving recipients!)

Thanks for the kind comments - I HAVE to give away a lot of what I make - otherwise we would be up to our necks in shawls!

I have seen doorstops, composed of fossilised animal dung. They are called coprolites, and are black with a shine to warm the heart of any drill sergeant.

Case proven!!......given time, you can polish........

Jacqui is a treasure .. and Spaw ... I can't stop laughing .. I tell you Spaw keeps me going. I get depressed and he calls and I feel 1000 times better. Gosh they broke the mold with him.

Now back to Jacqui ... Beautiful girl, beautiful heart and soul ..
great musician, and a master artist ...

I think the captain is more than blessed for sure !!

Thank you for all that you have done for my family ..
you and the Captain ... in my heart and family to me
