Your post about the Walmart car cases (love them!) sent me to the net to find more. They are made by Plano molding company, model 531-500, sometimes called Jammers, and although you can find the occasional one at a time for less on Ebay (you'd still have to pay lots of shipping), you can now buy them from a distributor called Space Savers (www.spacesavers.com) in NC, at $9.99 retail. There may be similar stores nearer you that carry them in this price range. I cannot imagine with all the sewing people wanting them why Walmart won't carry them. <BR/><BR/>I hope work slows down a bit this week (how often have we gone without a weekend posting from Carolyn!???) so that life becomes normal again.<BR/><BR/>Meg in NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-65534269982973159192008-02-11T21:42:00.000-05:002008-02-11T21:42:00.000-05:00I learn something new from you frequently.

Been there too many times before myself. You will bounce back, you must! You inspire many of us, we can not do without you sewing and sharing!

Can you get away for a few days? Go visit an out of town sibling or other family member. No pressure to sew or do anything else.

If it makes you feel any better, I have been unable to sew anything for myself (the BeSewStylish jacket doesn't count - that's work) in about two weeks. I know, cry me a river; but I keep looking at my gorgeous Chanel boucle languishing on my table and wishing I could just tell everything else (except TLo) to pound sand and do what I <I>want</I> to do!Gorgeous Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105281854898289918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-34927153648800584842008-02-09T22:17:00.000-05:002008-02-09T22:17:00.000-05:00Carolyn, thank you so much for sharing the link to...Carolyn, thank you so much for sharing the link to the Mercedes Benz Fashion website. I really appreciate it. Also, I love it that www.style.com lets one sign up for daily fashion updates. When I was employed, I did very little sewing as life was always getting in the way. Now, that I'm retired life still gets in the way but I do sew a little every month. Hopefully, life will let you get back to your sewing and enjoy your blogs and fashion shows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-9066537682624610692008-02-09T18:42:00.000-05:002008-02-09T18:42:00.000-05:00Carolyn, I "over"stand how you feel about the job ...Carolyn, I "over"stand how you feel about the job taking over your life.

What I do to support myself is so far removed from what I love. I have begun to wonder how I would translate all the business skills I learned into something wonderful for myself.
