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

Had a lovely evening. Meal at Carlucchios with OH's younger son (40 last week) & his lovely girlfriend & one of the bigger grandsons (18 next month).

Have finished all the squares for the knitted coat now. Lots of sewing up to do. Must take pics of my waistcoat!

[ilove2patch]

Well done on the coat. I will be envious when I see it!

[huggles1253]

You might not be! :^O It's a lovely pattern for dipping in & out of. If you like the finished article you are very welcome to the pattern back, it's not something you'd knit twice! Wool cost about £40 but it's very unusual. I bought a lovely flower button for it made from coconut shell. I also bought some 'invisable' thread to sew it up with but I can't find the end! :_| I'm going to use black cotton instead. The Nomad wool would be a nightmare to sew with.

Maggie, do you have the Chaldon paypal address?

[ilove2patch]

I will message you.:-)

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

[ilove2patch]

[numptz2012]

Spose getting dressed might help:8}

[petitecalicocat]

Good morning its very sunny here & my cat is soaking it up

Merlin this house is full of 'nooks' & stone walls, not cladded real stone, lots of Boris spiders live in the walls too:-D

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

our last house had (real) exposed stone walls

i had a wee round brush thingy on the hoover tube to sook all the dust off, no matter how many times they were sealed they seemed to bleed dust

 i loved them, OH didnt so much

its one of the few things we cant agree on

he likes new/modern/sleek

i like old & cosy

dont mind spiders

wish stoopid cat didnt play with them though

she kills them and leaves them 😞

[petitecalicocat]

Same here i hoover the walls too but it makes no difference really.

This house was built by an architect for himself so its a bit odd , so it suits us 😄

[twishy123]

hoover the walls...:O

*thud*

[chickengrandma-2008]

We used to have Artex on the walls in the kitchen (yes, I know, but it was a long time ago, all the rage dontcha know!) and I used to have to vacuum the dust off them.:|

[petitecalicocat]

Sorry Twishy for giving you such a shock but i simply have to do it or the boris's take over :^O

[twishy123]

in that case you're forgiven :^O

not right keen on Borisesssss..:|

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

i hoover the ordinary walls, i put a cloth over the end and give them a swoosh over

the do get dusty

[petitecalicocat]

Merlin i wish you lived near me :^O

[twishy123]

[petitecalicocat]

I prefer the hoover brush , it helps dislodge the 8 legged none paying guests;-)
