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

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

[twishy123]

[**towery**]

afternoon

you all seem busy 🙂

how did Lolly get on with her first week of college?

its muggy here, can't work out if im having hot flushes or its just the weather 😐

been trying to read a book but keep getting disturbed  lol

[petitecalicocat]

Merlin i cant believe your letting bunting win go get it girl :^O

Very nice & sunny here at the moment so im sitting in the garden .

Got really pee'd off with this chest infection not improving so went to our local hospital walk in centre this morning .

So i saw a lovely Dr who was very understanding about copd & has put me back on steroids for 5days plus a much stronger Anti B Augmentin 625mg for 7days.

Fingers crossed it works

[chickengrandma-2008]

Hope the new meds get you right again pcc.  It's a bit scarey when two doctors disagree about treatment isn't it?  If these meds do the trick, will you trust your own GP any more?

What's the trouble with your bunting merlin?  I bet they turn out just super like all your other stuff.:-D

[borzoi369]

Muggy here too Towery, not helped by cat and laptop trying to share my lap 😄

With Jennies permission ( StMichael ), a picture of part of her birthday bunting that Elphaba kindly made - excuse the photos etc behind the pic 🙂

Afternoon

Just got back from Craft Fair.

It stayed fine, but a bit windy. Not enough sales though as I think it wasn't advertised very well.

Sold some fragrances, but no tealights or burners.

Only half a dozen metalmen.

We are absolutely shattered as we've been on the go since 7am.

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

evening

shame about the fair Learning, but it gets your name out there

She was only there for an orientation day Towery, she doesnt start for a few weeks, but she got her timetable, and is pleased there is plenty darkroom time. She did a bit at nightschool and loved it, looks like a great course for her

:|bunting

well i took your advice and kept at it

had problems taking a pic as i couldnt stand far enough back but here is what i could get

[stmichaelrules]

Sorry I don't have a better pic of elph's fab work... the banner was so large I couldn't fit it all in and decided birthday was what i was celebrating... BIG time 😄

The whole banner goes from one corner of the room right across to the other and says...

"Happy Birthday Jennie"

My pride and joy 🙂  ...and is staying put for ever!!!

Thanks to sis for arranging it and............ very much to elph for the stunning craftwork and design. :-x   :-x   :-x

[borzoi369]

Waves to Sis - long time no see 😉

That's great Merlin - as we expected it would be 😄

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

its not really

its not as pointed as it should be

i wrestled with them for ages

normally i learn what i do wrong after the 1st time

the only thing i can think of is i used the same material on the back of all of them, and it was thicker

i am thinking maybe a little too thick

IF i make any more i will use the same thickness (thin material) for back & front

i quite enjoyed making it though

[stmichaelrules]

Waves to Sis - long time no see 😉

waves back... and now wondering who on earth I had lunch with B-)

Hope others have had a great w'end

[chickengrandma-2008]

That bunting looks absolutely fine merlin, but let's have the whole American diner look.  All your American stuff and you in your short sticky out skirt, pony tail, bobby socks and sneakers.:^O

[borzoi369]

i quite enjoyed making it though

Wow, we'll remember that 😄

And lovely lunch and company Sis 🙂

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

you REALLY dont want to see that chickengrandma, trust me!

i wish this sofa would hurry up

i want to have things up on the wall but need it here to know where to place things

i dont like waiting on anything!

[**towery**]

morning ladies, too sunny here, so im sulking atm

was very hot last night here, the threatened rain never arrived

my ir**ing pile is huge, will wait til cool tomorrow tho, big rain forecast

[chickengrandma-2008]

Morning ladies.:-D

Very nice and sunny here too.  It was so hot last night, 27 degrees in the kitchen,  had to put the air conditioning on.  Babysitting duties today (although the 'baby' is 6 yrs old!)  Guess what we're going to make......................bunting!!:^O

[ilove2patch]

Have you got Buntingitis CG?

Last day of sunshine this week according to the forecast!

[chickengrandma-2008]

We've got a weather warning for tomorrow, torrential rain.:-(

After trying her at sewing last time I thought if she made the flags (single fabric, stick a few bits on) then I'll string them up for her.  Her cousin's bunting is still here and I think she'll fancy that, but she had the doll so,  'Tough'!!

When is Amy going home Maggie?
