THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

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

That's my type of garden Carol.  I don't like regimented gardens and I think that cottage type gardens are far better.  One of my neighbours very often stops and has a look at our front garden and she always says that she sees something different every time she looks.  I'll have to start putting the bedding plants in soon and then I'll take a photo of the front garden.

When it is hot I do my gardening first thing in the morning and in the evening, and do my indoor jobs in the middle of the day, I shall be up early with the dogs tomorrow, so I will do a spot of clipper warfare when I get back,  mine is so wild and wooly because we have been doing the fensing, so it is now time to get going.

now I've got a bit of an idea how to crop down pics for here I'll take some pics of our garden.

mind you, I'll have to find the cd for the laptop too!

I love my garden, I try so hard to keep on top of the weeds.

Oh do post some photos CB - I'd love to see how it's come on in, is it a year since you moved, or more?  Are the teddies out yet?  Do you have clematis?, ours were absolutely amazing this year, smothered in blooms, so so pretty.

[rainydaywoman11]

Sorry Chris, that was rude of me, I meant to include you in my request too.  And thank you for the compliments

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh wont you be the belle of the ball Maggie.

[ilove2patch]

Well I don't know about that! lol Handy for travelling in though. It is a bit creasy as it's a linen mix. A bit of bad planning there but I fell for the fabric.:)

[stan3502]

Not suprised Maggie it's beautiful and works so well for the jacket

[bitsnknots]

No offence taken Carol.  I did some weeding this afternoon ready for putting bedding plants in. 

I love the jacket Maggies.  It's beautiful.

I've started knitting baby clothes ready for our new arrival.  Steph didn't want us to knit anything for Grace when she was born but she did want plenty of baby grows.  I've knit quite a few things for Grace.  We'll have to buy something for her for when

[captainbovine]

wow Maggie, that's one lovely jacket, you'll look real nice in that.

Rainy...yes I have one clematis which flowers from March through to October, it's got lovely dark purpley red flowers on it, my friend bought it for me. It's doing better this year than last. We've been in this place 2yrs now on Sunday!!!

I will post just as soon as I find this flippin' CD for the camera download...gawd, men and tidy just don't go in the same sentance bless 'em!!
