Seems I misunderstood, and then misinformed you. I CAN have categories, but it isn’t a simple matter of Rich “importing” them from the old program. He has to build them from scratch, which he will, and then I have to go back and manually categorize all the old entries.

In the meantime, let me share with you some pictures of the 19th century shirt Catherine K brought for show & tell. Hopefully, I’ll put up details of the monogram and cuff. Catherine’s been sleuthing trying to figure out which ancestor owned the shirt. It’s definitely a shirt (man’s garment) not a shift/smock (woman’s garment) but the initials don’t match her family. The ‘S’ matches the maiden surname of a 2 or 3x grandmother, but why would a man’s shirt have her maiden initial? If artifacts could talk…

And let’s try something else. I’ll try putting in a picture of Deb’s shawl. I think the name of the pattern is Wing of the Moth. It’s just lovely. Let’s press our luck and try a side shawl view, shall we?

Although the whole recategorizing process sounds suspiciously like housework (which I avoid if at all possible) I promise to chip away at it, restoring the ability to find back entries by those old categories.

See you soon.
