nightstands. They're so pretty, and I appreciate all the hard work that goes
into them.

Susan: (writer) I liked the editing tip of eliminating the crutch words. And the finishing sentences with strong words.
(reader) I have two doilies that my great aunt might have made. They came to me after my stepmother passed on. I also have my grandmother's cedar chest that is almost 100 years old and my great-grandmother's library table. I believe it's a Duncan Fyfe table. I received those items of furniture when my dad had to go to a nursing home and we had to get rid of his belonging.
The best editing tip for me is... let more people proof read!
Hi Quiet Spirit - I have a number of doilies and potholders my mother made, as well as one given to us for a wedding present. There's something so special about the connections to past generations through beautiful, handmade items.
Hi Marja - Yes! The more eyes, the better. We get so familiar with our work that our eyes automatically correct any problems. We don't even see them.
