As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

Had to defrost the car for the first time this morning, not organised yet didn't have any de icer so had to use my clocking in card to scrape the windscreen, it was minus 1 at 2.30.  Bit of  a shock I can tell you, I went back in for me coat.

Lovely now though 4 degrees and brilliant sunshine, just my sort of day. The house was warm and toasty when I got home.

Off to do some more to my crochet blanket, good excuse to keep my toes warm.

2.30 am    .Goodness me what are you doing out at that unearthly hour 

[ed_blackadder_1]

Sadly I start work at 3 but I finished at 9 so now have whole day to myself, lovely.

[petitecalicocat]

Ah i see , have a good day then 🙂

When i was single i shared a house with 4 other girls , i was the only one who worked shifts & came home to bed as they were getting up for work ..always liked that 🙂

[ilove2patch]

Sunny here too but mighty chilly.

[stan3502]

Bright and crisp day here which will mean another good frost tonight.

Am back in the pub on friday night to do the annual childen in need party (new landlord can't be arrised) so must get myself organised for that afterwork today , luckily loads of the locals willing to help out and should be fun being back behind the bar.

[ilove2patch]

You will enjoy that Stan. I hope you raise lots of dosh.

Apparently it was minus two overnight and there was a frost when I got up.  It's beautiful and sunny otherwise.  The back door is open and the smell of woodsmoke from his bonfire is coming in.  I keep taking great lungsful.  Lovely! 

[ilove2patch]

I just love a lungfull of smoke! lol I know what you mean about autumn smells though. Right, back to the sewing! 

[stan3502]

I thought you'd given up smoking CG but it seems you've just gone from ciggies to bonfires

[petitecalicocat]

Are you sure its woodsmoke CG 

[twishy123]

I've lost an bloomin' eye.....well I suppose I am a pirate fish...

 not mine but one for the sock monkeys....I've cut them all out,sewn on five but for the life of me can't find the 6th...

I know I've definitely cut 6 'cos I matched them all up into pairs...but can I find it?...can I chuff....

Ah well.... off into town to buy some more felt,such a shame that I'll have to go into the craft shop..

I may be some time....

[ilove2patch]

Monkey could have a pirate patch too. It would look rather dashing!

Yes but a trip to the crafty shop is a better option 

[**towery**]

did you check the kittens for extra eyes?

[bitsnknots]

Afternoon all.  I've just finished knitting a hat for my mum.  I thought that I would have had enough buttons for Grace's cardigan but unfortunately, I was one short so I'll have to have a look in town tomorrow.

We didn't have a frost this morning but we did on Sunday morning.  The de-icer had to come out for the first time this winter.  At the moment, we've got plenty of cloud cover so I don't think we'll have any frost overnight hopefully.

Wonder if Swishy Twishy is back from the craft shop yet.

Morning all

I won't say good because it isn't , now I know I live on top of a mountain but who on earth sent me Noah's flood just to test out the theory that I won't drown ???? ............. it has persisted it down all night here and showing no signs of letting up.

The rain and hail kept me awake half the night trying to batter through the windows and its so dark that the office and unit is lit up like Blackpool illuminations.

Just to top it off I have a to  too  t-ach oh you know a pain in the peggy in the mouth area so have got myself into a state already incase it does't disappear and I need the dreaded D word.

Oh well are'nt I the cheery one this morning , right orf to put the kettle on ...........anyone for coffee

[ed_blackadder_1]

Love one Stan thanks, just got back with the dogs and it's blowing a hooly here, going to take me an hour to flatten my hair look like I have had a fright..  We had a lot of rain last night but its dry now so its on its way to you ( the dryness I mean). 

Sorry to hear about the T ache, hope it gets better soon, nothing worse.

Off to paint a chest of drawers now after coffee. Then I shall be carrying on with my blanket,  day off today, must go get some meat out of the freezer for tea.

[stan3502]

Here you go ed grab one of these

Will your meat defrost if you take it out now , mine takes at least a day but maybe thats cos my kitchen is freezing ?

[ed_blackadder_1]

Thanks Stan  

Only chicken breasts they won't take long we don't eat until 6,
