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

[stan3502]

Sounds like you will have a busy day then Maggie are you all going out somewhere or is it a day in making things with them.

Mail straight back to you by the way :^O

[ilove2patch]

You have two replys. 🙂

I am off to the docs at 11.30 as my knee/leg is still very painful after a fall several weeks ago. Then I will be enjoying the company of my lovely family.:-D They are staying until Thursday evening I think.

[ilove2patch]

Back from the docs. I have a hematoma under my kneecap. It will get better over the next month or so! 😐 He said to try not to bump or knock it. He didn't need to tell me that as if I do I touch the ceiling! lol

Afternoon

Got back last night after a long weekend sailing on the Thames.

Saw the Olympic rowers as the processed up the river at Henley, then did the town in an open topped bus.

Also saw some of Reading Festival - and some very odd sights 😉

Now busy with wasking, shopping and housework as I'm back at work tomorrow.

Managed to finish another Tractor Jumper while I was away..

[learning2me]

Couldn't even get a picture to attach, let alone show in my post :_|

[learning2me]

Third time lucky?

[chickengrandma-2008]

Glad you had a good time Mags, lovely jumper as usual, he's one lucky little boy!   I posted the tractors on (was it Thursday or Friday??) and as soon as I had I saw you were going away so were they there when you got back?

[merc1_clocks]

What a beautiful jumper..I'm envious of your talent  :-x

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

lush jumper Learning, i love little boys in "proper" clothes

real life has been at the forefront recently

i dont think i like it

and it gives me too much time to only think about things i could be making!

[ginap.123]

Left home this morning to make my way to darkest Kent, locked the door, looked at the grass in front of where all the recycling bags/boxes had been until last night & spotted....... my ring!
How I didn't tread on it ( bare footed) when I bought all the bins/bags through to the back

[captainbovine]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! well done Ginap.

I've been the hospital to see about me sore hooves, and I've got to have TWO flippin ops, one on each foot, evidently I've got spurs in an unusual place on my heels:-(

I am not a happy cooX-(

[cat-knitter]

Yay ..... thats brilliant news Gina, I'm so pleased you  found it 😄

rubs CBs hooves for her ..... it sounds a painful thing to have 😞

😮 at both feet being alike

Lovely to see merlin back too 😄 I thought maybe OH was home & you were a little tied up :8}

I'm not to keen on real life either ....... I much prefer "my own little world" 😐

[kitten347]

How lucky was that Gina?  Glad you've found it 😄

Ouch CB - both hooves?  They won't do both at the same time will they? :_|

[stan3502]

Ouch CB that doesn't sound good, your poor poorly hooves.

Soooooooo glad your ring is safely back with you Gina.

Waves to merlin

[merc1_clocks]

Gina....that's fantastic news! I bet you couldn't believe what you were seeing  😮

Capt...poor you, the clipper is coming to see to those hooves  😮

[rainydaywoman11]

Hugs to all the folks who need them )))RL((( - I'm with ck - my little world is much more restful.

Poor Cap - have they said when you are likely to go in?  You just have to think that you will feel better, and painfree, once it is all over.:-x

Calico - I don't know how you did it, but you have sent me your chest inf.  Was at doc first thing and have slept all day, so not like me.  I hope you are feeling better.

Towery - I missed you had mentioned Gleneagles - you would be welcome - I don't do mornings - and lunch is always home made soup, or OH goes into a decline:^O

Little unicorn is bonny Gina, glad you found your ring.

[captainbovine]

stan...I'll have to go to Wrexham to have it done, can you supply an hourly dose of Guinness for me? oh no hang on that's no good, it'll make me wee and that's going to be hard.

OH and I have been trying to work out how I can do stuff as I can't hop to save my life, I'm too heavy:_|

[merc1_clocks]

capt...what about shuffling along on your bum?  :-x

[captainbovine]

I'd love to but I can't get down on the floor!!! well I can but I can't get up again.......I'm stuffed I know it:_|

last time I had to use crutches (the old under the arm type) I couldn't get used to them. OH spent his time wazzing up and down the street on them while I sat and watched him:^O

[chickengrandma-2008]

Hubby had made a very solid low stool for sitting on to milk the goats.  It was about 10 or 12 inches high and had four very sturdy legs made of 2"x2" timber and a plastic covered foam seat.

It wasn't a work of art, but my mum found it invaluable when she broke her foot.  Hubby put a caster on the bottom of each leg and she was able to sit on it and skuttle herself around, pushing with her good foot.  We called it the 'grannymobile' :^O but she really would have been helpless without it.

You'll have to get mr bovine to knock you up one up!
