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

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

😞 will it be lots??

i suppose you need to work out how much it costs you in real terms

when anyone moans about say the tv license i always say i dont mind paying it

where else can you get hours of entertainment on tap if you want it for a couple of pounds a week

how many hours of enjoyment will you get from your machine?

enough to perhaps sweeten the bill a little

[learning2me]

Morning

Fingers crossed for your machine PCC 🙂

Merlin, wew use Avon SSS as well. Also the green mint shower gel works too.

Busy here getting OH ready to go away this afternoon. I then have 10 days peace and quiet before I join him 😄

CK, if you look in, hope your mouth is feeling better.

Morning again

Merlin thank you i will try some of that, many years since i had avon, niece still orders through her work place so i will get some, cant imagine how you put up with all the midges without being constantly bitten.

Thrybergh county park is close to us and it has a lovely man made lake, lots fish there too, and its beautiful to walk around, but due to pesky midges i dont go that often.

Pcc hope the bill isnt to costly, just think you can ew till your likkle hearts content when you get it back.

Mags great to read your mum is doing well, hope all remaining tests are clear.

((( to everyone that needs em)))

[ilove2patch]

I am back at last. We were held up for over an hour because af a very bad accident. We were only about 10 cars behind it. There but for the grace.....etc.

Too late to collect Damson so she will have to spend another night in kennels. Another £9 to pay too!

[chickengrandma-2008]

My son popped in to see me today with his daughter from Portsmouth.  She told me she came in an aeroplane!!!!:O  It's the first time he's flown alone (except when learning)  I'm glad he didn't tell me before he did it but I know he'll be taking her back again tomorrow.:_|  She obviously didn't know she was flying here and one of the first questions she asked when they got in the air was.........................................................'Isn't there a DVD player?:-('

[petitecalicocat]

Just got home , we went  for a meal after being out all day .

Collected my machine , havnt had chance to try it out yet, cost £50 so im happy as its not as bad as i expected it to be:)

[ginap.123]

back from my birthday meal at a local hotel & got given my belated pressies & cards & then uploaded Mexico photos to FB & completed a Tesco order for delivery tomorrow as we have no food in the house

[learning2me]

Wow CG - being picked up by Daddy in his aeroplane must be the stuff of little girls dreams 😄

Happy Belated Birthday Gina. Hope you had a good night :-x

OH went away yesterday so I'm having a nice quiet day doing exactly what I want B-)

[hiddengems2010]

Lucky little girl, i bet she loved it 😄

Just finished a custom order so having a sit down with a cuppa and catching up on some tv.

Oh and here is a picture of my untidy workable area, well its only part of the room ... darnt show you the rest, but I ill tidy it all up ready for my next session 🙂 better still Merlin are you busy ... do you have a few week spare please, you can look in all my wardrobes and storage area's 😉

[*hippyfairy*]

Afternoon 🙂

Belated happy birthday to Gina 🙂

😮 @ CG's son piloting all by himself. Lucky grand-daughter 🙂

Busy doing nothing much again - resting foot and sewing/crocheting. Rather too warm for either at the moment but not much choice!

[hiddengems2010]

Aww hippy, it must be awful for you, it would send me wappy not being able to do my usual, how long have you got left with it on.

[*hippyfairy*]

3 weeks left in plaster and then they'll take it off and see if its healed up. If so then its time for physio so my foot can return to a normal angle. Trying not to think what if its not healed!!

Normally I think how lovely it would be to have loads of time to make stuff - however the reality is less appealing. Probably just due to lack of mobility - I can't easily get at supplies in sewing room. However I do plan to spend some time in there tomorrow finding all sorts of bits so I can start making a few christmassy bits for my folksy shop.  Need to raise some funds as I'm skint at the moment and can't do my little cleaning job 😞

[hiddengems2010]

3 weeks probably seems ages away but it will pass quickly, hopefully all will be well and part of your phsyio will be running up and down stairs collecting your latests bits for your makes.

You could have done with a small work box next to you with the days bits & pieces in, mind having said that, when weve got everything in front of us, westill want something else lol

[chickengrandma-2008]

Don't wish to depress you hippy but the friend I told you about had to wear a moon boot for another six weeks once the plaster came off.  Mind you, he snapped his, I think you said you'd done something different didn't you? so perhaps you'll miss the moon boot out. Even with it you'll be much more mobile than you are now won't you.:-D

I've been struggling all day to do something that should have taken me half an hour!  After doing it wrong and having to unpick it, and it was triple stitching so that it would be stronger, and then the overlocker kept clunking and coming unthreaded. I can't even see the eyes never mind thread them, so had to keep waiting until hubby could come in and do it.  Then we realised that one of the needles was slightly bent.  Put two new needles in and it went like a dream.:-D

[*hippyfairy*]

CG - I could cope with a moon boot - least it would mean I could walk without the crutches and it could come off at night. It does depend on which Ortho person you see at the hospital - some favour this approach and others done - mind doesn't often use them but its not ruled out. Mind was just partially torn.

Would be happy to be mobile indoors even if I couldn't walk into town & back. I could get lifts and just potter around the shops I like.
