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

Oo la la ! Norty merlin.

I've never had much chance to try curry as hubby wo'nt eat anything like that, so I got one from Tesco to try. It was called vindaloo. I didn't like it.:|  It tasted ok but I was scared I'd set the tablecloth on fire when I breathed out.  I only ate the chicken and put the rest in the bin because I daren't give it to Lottie or the chickens.  I had to fill up on freshly made apple sponge pudding and custard.:-x

[chickengrandma-2008]

Send her round here merlin.  Can she clean windows? Muck out chickens?

Daughter's just been round injecting day old chicks in the neck with vaccine.  The neck is thinner than a pencil, you have to watch the needle doesn't go right through and stick you in the finger!:O

[****merlin*****]

:Ovindaloo is one of the hottest curries you can get chickengrandma

i am not a fan but if you want something more mellow, try a tikka masala, it has a flavour but isnt spicy at all, although its an indian curry, it was invented here in Scotland, as people here couldnt take the heat of vindaloo etc

[****merlin*****]

she said she would clean windows, and would inject the chickens, but anything poop related isnt on the agenda

[ilove2patch]

Korma is mild & creamy as is Butter Chicken or Pasanda. I love curry but couldn't eat a Vindaloo! 😮 lol

[**towery**]

good grief even I  cant take a vindaloo, or madras - i have to make sure i dont lick the spoon or my fingers if OH has them

i love a korma, or dansak, or biryani sometimes

[chickengrandma-2008]

I don't think I'll get it again.

I was just telling my son about merlin's flange.  His reaction?   😐                He thinks we all belong on the funny farm.:^O

[****merlin*****]

i am familiar with that face too chickengrandma, 2 of them, OH listens to me on the phone, when i finish? silence, he is waiting on the punchline, i say no no that was it

i think we are easily pleased here:^O

[chickengrandma-2008]

At least he listens merlin, mine keeps interupting with, 'Is this going to take long?' or 'Can't you hurry it up a bit?' or 'Is this one of your epics? Can't you just give me the important bits?'  I don't know why I bother anyway because he never remembers what I've said, and then he starts with all the questions, 'Who's coming?...Why?...When? Who's coming with them?' etc.etc.  X-(  X-(  X-(

[****merlin*****]

:^O

he does listen, even when i think he isnt, he listens to them as well, but EVERYONE else? he says, "bulletpoints", i have to laugh because when he is on the phone i usually know the person on the other end, and can imagine their faces:^O

i alos know when he isnt listening to other peoples waffle, he glazes over and i know he is "working in his head" thinking measurements etc:^O

[chickengrandma-2008]

We might do that too but being women we can do it without making it so obvious, and follow the story as well!:^O

[ilove2patch]

Morning all. It's a rather dull, grey morning here. It has been so sunny all week I was getting used to it. I have finished my bag & will post some pictures later.:-D

[ilove2patch]

By the time I got halfway through my walkthe sun was shining.:-)

Morning

Foggy here again - kind of getting tired of it.

So here's some dolly pics to brighten things up;

[*hippyfairy*]

These 2 are the ones that I've been slowly making for the past week!! I can make one in a few hours if I fully concentrate and do nothing else!

[learning2me]

They look fantastic Hippy - sure they'll sell like hot cakes 🙂

[****merlin*****]

i LOVE the top picture with the heads together, it looks like its straight from a glossy page of a toy shop brochure/advert

good luck with them finding "new homes":-D

[****merlin*****]

bought something(s) and i am not quite sure what i am going to do with them, but thought they were funky enough to share (super service from the seller, i only bought them yest afternoon and they just arrived)

they are lightweight so wont pull on anything i use them for, thinking brooch of sorts, Lolly would love this, hmmm ribbons? lace?

i dunno

[petitecalicocat]

Blue one is made from 6 circles of fabric folded in half & gathered to make petals . Join petals together add botton in centre .

Red is towo circles one large one small garhere around edges add button .

Both broaches have a broach pin  glued on the back or you could use a safety pin 🙂

[learning2me]
