thank you. if it helps, i don;t see my ability to say no as being that good :) i'm always wishing i was better in that regard. perspective and priorities. the older i get the more i realize how important and complex they are.

btw- i have a small chunk of a blue gray velvet material. you interested? i am thinking you might give it a good purpose in life. don;t know the fibre content (it was a gift) likely upholstery velvet. i am trying to go through the fabric stash and reduce it to a sensible size.
