Over to you.:-D

Good morning Merlin and all that follow. Chilly here this morning too.

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

i just nipped outside in short sleeves

wow thats exhilerating!:-D

i have uncovered my sewing machine and eyeing it up suscpiciously, its not going to have resolved itself sitting there but optimistic me lives in hope:^O

[petitecalicocat]

Good morning ladies 🙂

My sewing machine is still out on the dining room table .....i have plenty to sew just need a bit of motivation !

[chickengrandma-2008]

Morning.:-D

Nippy here too with some tiny tiny snowflakes.

My machine is always out.  I have some trousers to take up for daughter today.:-(

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

my machine was supposed to always be out

we had the extension built so i had a craft area

then everyone else moved in here and so we sit here now instead of the lounge:|

i hve sat in there once in the last 12+ months and that was only because there were 8 of us here at the time and there is more room in there

i should make that my craft room, but everyone would probably follow me there too!

Morning all 😄

It's pretty chilly here too...I'm sat in me wollies cos I can't get the stoooopid boiler to re-light X-(

Anyhoo......my next project is a new dancing dress for Swishy daughter..."this one please mum" ...I've a feeling I may be some time :^O

[twishy123]

oooops pic would help 😛

[twishy123]

[huggles1253]

Not sure how but rows with other half have resulted in me being at work on my own & him having a lie in. X-(

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

that dress is stunning!

i'd wear that

i love it!

i am looking for peacock feather types fabric but havent found the right thing

do you buy those (like applique type things) or do you embroider them yourself?

:-(huggles

[huggles1253]

Too right 😞 Huggles. Plus I have the worst headache in the world from drinking cocktails last night & I may never touch alcohol again. :_|

Son sold his van on here last night & I KNOW I spoke to the buyer about collecting it but I can't remember ANYTHING about the conversation! :_| I'm going to have to admit this later which will start it all off again plus I have vague recollections of agreeing to have a tattoo done with eldest son! :_|

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

jeez huggles

you need to leave the cocktails aside

they are causing more problems than they are solving

but you DO remember inviting me for a months all expenses paid holiday in switzerland dont you??:^O

[huggles1253]

Of course I do. But it was the Southern French Alps where we own a cupboard. 😄

[welshtoff]

Morning Ladies.  I don't usually post on this thread, but just giving a heads up that I have been sent a huge box from my Mum, which contains all her materials, zips, bags of lace, bags of elasticated banding, threads, all sorts.  am going to try to sort stuff into groups and hopefully will put lots up on the MDCC auctions as from tomorrow.

[twishy123]

Awwww huggles :-(......

so ya don't remember lending me that 'item' last night either then? ]:) I'll give it a quick rinse before I return it...and you were right,marmalade does help it slide ]:)

I've bought some embroidered peacock feathers as a cheat but I'll have to do the celtic bits myself 😐

It's not allowed to be exactly the same but it will be very similar...well I live in hope :^O

If you post a pic of that 'irish dance dress material?' you've got Merlin I can let you know if it is what you think it is.....if that makes sense 😛

[chickengrandma-2008]

You seem to have worked that wrong huggles, it should have been hubby at work and you having a lie in!  Ring him and tell him to come in as you have 'flu' and need to go home to bed.B-)

Lottie is going to the vet's this afternoon.  She seems to have arthritis in one back leg.  It's been coming on slowly for a year or so.  Sometimes she's ok and other times she limps.

Have you seen the picture I put on of the fallen tree?  There's a patio under there somewhere!:O

[huggles1253]

Sounds great! I'll bid .....although I don't think I'll be turning on the sewing machine today.

[huggles1253]

And where's Numpty? Just tried to phone her to moan about husbands & she's out galavanting. X-(
