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

[**towery**]

what about  plasticine in the bottom,  layer it to make it look like  sundae

[**towery**]

a trolley with wheels?  CG

[chickengrandma-2008]

Those glasses would look nice with layers of different coloured marbles and the 'ice cream' on the top rhubarb.:-D

Yes towery, custom built so the bottom crate sits in a little recess and I can push them all from the front door in one go. 😄

[ilove2patch]

Clever.:-)

[**towery**]

chickgran  have you somewhere to keep it the grandkids wont find to use if for kiddy japes

my 2 got caught sledging down stairs in  trays  as my mums once, thankfully she just has a straight flight

what did you have  CK?  beef  n all trimmings?

[chickengrandma-2008]

 Yes towery, hubby had sanded the wheels to make them clean for indoors so he didn't want to put it outside (when I told him I wasn't keeping it indoors!) then he found it just fitted next to the hand basin in the cloakroom in his egg room.  As I never go in there, and neither does anybody else if they have any sense, I let him put it there. :^O

He said when I get my new hip he'll fasten a chair to it and I'll be able to get around the house!:|

Yes a sunday roast 🙂  .... are you ready towery ....

I had a sml mixed meat ...... there was Pork, Chicken, Beef, Stuffing, Yorkshire pud, roast & new potato, carrot, peas, diced swede, battered parsnip, Cauli, brocoli, gravy 😄

All tasting "home made" & not reheated & microwaved 😛

No I didn't eat it all, no one ever does, there portions are HUGE ... yet they do a med & large plate too 😐

lovely little pub with a reputation as big as there meals & very reasonable  🙂

Hello all, we went out for lunch today and, trying to be good, I had a salad. Didn't enjoy it! Everyone else had yorkshires and yummy stuff! I have been on a strict 1200 calories a day diet for three weeks now. Not working at all! First week lost 2lb, second week put it back on, third week lost 2lb. Given the carp results and only having alcohol at weekends it's not worth the stress! I've never dieted before! It's murder! I WILL be ten pounds lighter by New Years Eve!

Merc, I think we are all shocked that someone we know suffered at the hands of HS. Did you suspect he was 'wrong' or find out afterwards? Tell me to mind my own business if you want.

Evening

Sorry not been in. Mum is getting worse instead of better. Turns out she had a fall on Saturday morning, but didn't want to tell anyone. The demons are back every night and are now jumping from the ceiling onto her bed.

It obviously isn't just a water infection as she has now finished the antibiotics.

We are due at one hospital tomorrow for her 12 month cancer check, so I'll tell them what is happening and see if there could be any connection. The Doctor we saw last week, from another hospital, is due to ring me for a phone consultation tomorrow afternoon, so I think I'll be taking her back on Tuesday.

In between visits, I've managed to make a couple of cushion covers for Grandsons. Have also sewn up two Aran cushion covers and started 3 origami trees,

[huggles1253]

Learning, I know they are experts but ask if her sodium levels are OK. My Dad had problems with his. 

[learning2me]

Will do - in fact I think I'll ask for every level to be checked as she can't go on like this.

[ilove2patch]

She is lucky to have you Mags.:-) What are the origami trees? Is curious.:-)

[learning2me]

Thanks Maggie.

The folded triangles Maggie. You said you had the pattern 😉

[ilove2patch]

Oh yes. The Japanese folded ones.:-D Quilting group tomorrow so I am off to bed in a minute.:-)

[ilove2patch]

Morning. Chilly & very windy here today. Glad I shall be sat in a nice warm hall all day. Tomorrow I am going to a huge fabric place in Henley on Thames. It's a SW Quilters coach outing. No money to spend but that is probably for the best! lol Damson is off to the kennels for a couple of days.

[stan3502]

Morning all

Lie in today as have the morning off ,going to college to get a haircut.

(((((((((((((learning and her Mum)))))))))))) what a horrible thing for you both to be gouing through, do hope you get some answers soon.

We have a little place two villages down that does the sort of dinner you had CK infact if you finish off the large meal they give you a free drink (they don't have to do it often though IYKWIM)

[cat-knitter]

Morning all 🙂

"NO money to spend but probably for the best" .......... whats the betting Maggie manages to find some kind of bargain & doesn't go home empty handed  😉

I hope RDW is ok, I've not noticed her post for a while 😐  sending you a bucketful of comforting vibes if your looking in RDW :-x  I would send choklit but that Swishy one may intercept it 🙂

I don't mind you asking huggles, but it's more than a sentence or two to explain.

I will gladly tell the whole story ( I still think people should know ), but it's long, & it's sad, & I don't know if this is the place to tell.

I'm not out to upset people, & it will.

I'll leave it to you folk to decide.
