They provide plenty of direction, but I have found it easier to drape and cut wrong side out since all of my pieces have been symmetrical. A good slipcover will appear like upholstery until looking closely, but I love the flexibility of washing and seasonal changes.

I'm hard of hearing and can rarely tell from which direction a beeping sound is coming. It generally takes three or four depressions on the cordless phone's "call button" before I can even find the device. Had I been in your place, I'd likely still be looking for the beeping'Susan Lenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828597703914908801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197147697265627399.post-41643323333789200942012-01-22T19:54:09.349-05:002012-01-22T19:54:09.349-05:00Oh Delores!

We have one that the dear house builder put up near the peak of the cathedral ceiling and if the bagel gets overdone in the toaster, that's the smoke alarm that goes off. We cannot get to it and I just want to throw something at it!

One time the beeping went off and on for a couple of days until my husband found a smoke detector that was put in a box under the treadle. Weird but at least there's no more beeping. It's one of those sounds that I can hear with or without my hearing aid.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197147697265627399.post-22842814760132537392012-01-22T00:19:33.303-05:002012-01-22T00:19:33.303-05:00Oh Beth, I had to laugh -- you have buzzing mice? ...Oh Beth, I had to laugh -- you have buzzing mice? <br /><br />Vibrating cell phones always remind me of a dear friend -- Linda. It was back when cell phones were new and she had, for the first time, set hers to vibrate. She tucked it into her pocket while we ate lunch. Suddenly she jumped to her feet while grabbing at her ummm crotch area. You guessed it, her phone was vibrating.

After several hours of hunting for the 'mouse,' I found my cell phone left on vibrate. May all your beeps be little beeps and during the sunshine hours!

Nope it isn't a cure (you still have to get new batteries) but at least with the beeping ceased you can get some sleep. <br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197147697265627399.post-86330011945341992152012-01-21T12:01:48.118-05:002012-01-21T12:01:48.118-05:00OMG, Dawn!
