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

[chickengrandma-2008]

I've read the first one.  Thought I'd wait a while to 'cool off' before I get the next one.;-)

[cat-knitter]

Oks will give em a go ........ thank youuuuuuu 🙂

at least I'll know what all the fuss is about :^O

do I need to keep em out of OHs sight 😐

I don't really read much, I tend to stick to light hearted easy reading ones when I do  ( shopaholic & milly johnson type)

[cat-knitter]

I like martina cole books too 🙂

[chickengrandma-2008]

I usually go for books set in the 40s/50s/60s.  I've liked all the Joan Jonker ones ( Newcastle area) and the Helen Forrester ones (Liverpool area)  They remind me of my childhood.:-D

[hightara]

i like clive barker too maggie, have you a kindle, cause ive got tonnes of books

[ilove2patch]

No Kindle Tara & not much time to read these days. It's something I only seem to manage on holiday or if I am poorly. Thank you for the offer though.:-D

I have read the first 'grey' book & wasnt impressed so dont think i will bother with the rest .

I have just returned from the opticians .....agian .

They agree that the vari focals arnt working for me  & also agree that my long distance vision isnt bad enough to really need them ..atm .

So im having the new frames fitted with lenses for  reading & using the computer .   I have to wait now while they are done but will get a small refund when i collect the new ones ...phew:-D

Afternoon all

First day back in the office and I still havn't caught up with all the unread mail yet,what is is with blokes and envelopes can't they open them and is it sooooooo much more trouble than clicking the buttons for the E type ones 😞

Glad you have managed top sort out the glasses PCC nothing worse than wrong lense type for headache problems.

Taking youngest to the doctors in ten minutes. I have a feeling he might have glandular fever and am hoping it isn't! Keep your fingers crossed!

[ilove2patch]

Oh I hope not. That can be nasty.:-(

[hightara]

glad you got yer goggles sorted pcc

everything crossed for youngest huggles

heres the curtains i made for táras room, and the dreaded pillowcase i winged.

oh and the grid thingy, i put up in the kitchen, and a couple of the floating shelves (thanks to stan sending me an electric screwdriver)

[huggles1253]

He's OK it's a sudden eruption of wisdom teeth! Painful and giving him swelling and a horrible headache but nothing dangerous or catching! The last time he went to the doctor was 7 years ago! Bad mum! I always say, you'll be fine and send them off to school!

[ilove2patch]

Well done Tara. Really gorgeous curtains.:-) How come your photos show & mine don't.:-(

Glad it's just teeth Huggles. Dose him up with Paracetamol.:-)

[rainydaywoman11]

Evening all.

Your curtains are really lovely Tara.  Did you make the little string of hearts too?  I'm decorating the bathroom and am fed up already!  Only been doing it a day- too many fiddly bits to paint around.

Nice to see numptz back and hope you had a good hol.  If you like to read Cornwell & Connolly - you should try Donna Leon (set in Venice) or James Lee Burke (set in Louisiana) - they are fabby books.

[huggles1253]

The doctor has given him co-dydramol so the teeth must look bad.

[huggles1253]

Dorset weather not looking too good for next week! Could you sort it out please Maggie!?

[petitecalicocat]

Pleased your son is ok huggles , my hubby has toothache atm so will sympathise with him .

Lovely work Tara , i especially like the kitchen rack thingy:-D

[stan3502]

))))))))))))))))))))painful teeth((((((((((((((((((((

Bedroom and kitchen looking fab hightara,I also have the same storage/racking in pub kitchen as it's so versatile and keeps surfaces free of clutter.

Weather supposed to change for the better on Wednesday and hope it's true as eldest lad and family going to Cornwall for 5 days with eldest grandaughter and all she wants to do is go to the beach and swim.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Glad it's just the teeth huggles. My son had glandular fever when he was about 17/18.  I've got a photo of him laying on the sofa and he looks terrible!:^O

Lovely curtains tara.  That rack looks very handy, can you reach the top?

[huggles1253]

This holiday really needs good weather! Imagine us all stuck inside together for a week! I'm starting to drool over wellies and macs!
