To everyone who is responding

It seems that not a lot is getting through,  although Im grateful for the sympathy:  I may just have to junk this whole thing and start over, something I do NOT want to do, after 10 years of stuff. 

I contacted Blogger and I was told this sounded like something that happened last spring (which it does not), and I should go reread that and see if that's the problem (which it is not) and that was the stellar advice I got from the four star help over there.   I have Chrome on this now, and I surely wish I didn't, it seems to cause more grief than not, but it somehow insinuated itself into nearly every program I have, sort of like the stray cat that you wake to find sleeping peacefully on the bed at your feet. 

Chrome is even less helpful as far as trouble shooting goes.

Anything else, I wouldn't mind, but I just can't respond directly to comments, I have no idea why.  So, we do this.

N.ayisha, if I can, I'll post photos of the loom when I get it set up.  This is a 36" 4 harness loom, collapsible for (ho ho ho) easy traveling (if you have stevedore blood) and storage.  What I love about it, you can fold it up with stuff still in it, unfinished, and drag the thing away to a corner.   And it's an amazing way to use up all that accumulated yarn and such.   I really think a nice coverlet blanket thing would work well.  I could back it with a patchwork quilt made to size,  and have it do double duty. 

Right now I'm doing curtains for the upstairs, from a set of cotton sheets that are no longer fitted sheets, but are also neutral enough to work well at the windows. 

I hate to admit it, but the radiators are working exactly the way we(I) hoped.  He has the thermostat set for 62 deg. and when the temps in here drop to 62 or so, the furnace comes on, and voila, you wake up in the morning to dead stoves but a decently warm room.  Considering it was 9 above this morning, and 2 above the morning before...
