I love ideas borrowing from all sources, so I worked out a similar tassel design on vas.

Since then I have never appeared on television or radio, or been written about-m,newspaper article without being associated with the "hug" label. The sad part of such labeling is that it suggests I am a gimmicky individual who, by hugging everyone in sight, is not to be taken seriously. This is hardly what A person, who has dedicated 'his life to the better understanding of human love, would hope for. Its true (hat I value hugs In fact, I feel they are essential to good health and a long hf People feel isolated and lonely without them. Hugging is natural and I have never thought of it as any big deal. Were Expected I was raised in a large Italian family where a hug and a kiss on both cheeks was expected. In fact, it was a punishable offense not to hug grandma, grandpa and the long stream of friends and relatives who regularly passed through our home. It didnt take long to discover, however, that not all the world loves a hugger. I was reprimanded by teachers and shunned by many of my peers who called me weird. It seemed sad and puzzling to me that I had to be jjf.wKT Trompe LOeil Tassels Cleaning routine SAY IT WITH STITCHES! Light duty liquid detergents are designed for washing dishes by hand.

This effect is known as trompe Toeil, which so means literally fool the eye that from a distance, my tassels appear just like the ones at Versailles. To create a pattern for trompe l'oeil tassels, I suggest starting with some graph paper and colored pencils or markers. Work with the colors in different arrangements, using light and dark shadings along the edges, on until they look paper. To transfer your design to canvas, simply count the stitches from your graph. You can work with rug wool on a No. 7 canvas, as I did, using the design for a footstool or the border of a rug. Or you could work rows of tassels with a fine wool on a No. 8 canvas to make a most unusual drawstring evening bag Or, just as at Versailles, a design of tassels on long, rectangular canvas would make wonderful drapery tiebacks. , October 6, 1985 W7 Making someone feel valued might be just a hug away BtAcC LX Sunday Make housecleaning less of a hassle by doing cleaning jobs regularly.

It also made me unhappy to think that many were missing the joy and contentment a hug produced In my travels outside the United States. I became delightfully aware that in most countries people hugged and kissed in greeting In Asia, for example, men and women alike walked hand in hand, arm in arm, often embracing A Minor Sensation However, on my media tour of England when my book Lttitij, Loving & Learning was published there, hugging caused a minor sensation The media announced my arrival by saying that Dr Hug" from the United States was coming to change Britons habits. One London newspaper even sent a group of attractive women through the city to hug people at random and make notes for what the paper called a scientific survey." The results were surprising even to them. Most people interviewed said they loved the human contact and wished there were more ,f it in their country. There were, huwiver, those who felt it infringed on their space or that it was appalling Year after year we are presented with interesting and verifiable research that suggests hugging is healthy. Touching, by Ashley Montagu, describes the positive effects of hugging. Touch Therapy, by Helen Colton (Zebra Books), teaches one how touching can enhance ones life. To my knowledge no one has claimed that a warm, caring hug can be detrimental to your health. Wherever I speak, people line up and wait for hours to share a friendly hug, often decrying the fact that they get so few and need them so much. Isnt it interesting how we reserve our embraces for such intense emotional occasions as sexual acts, moments of extreme elation, tragedy or catastrophe? We rush into the security of anothers arms after earthquakes. floods, accidents, etc Men, who might never do so otherwise, pat and hug each other with wild abandon after winning a game or accomplishing a successful athletic feat Family members gathered at a funeral find special comfort and tenderness in each other's arms, even though it is not customary for them to be affectionate with one other. It is natural for us to want to show affection, but for some mysterious reason we equate tenderness with sentimentality, weakness and vulnerability. We are often as hesitant to give a hug as to receive it. So whats the big deal? Hugging is a very human affirmation of being valued and cherished It feels good, costs nothing and requires little effort. Its healthy for both the hugged and the hugger.
