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

[captainbovine]

hellooooo one and all...

I has made somefink today, Can't show you guys as it's a suprise for someone. I'm sure they will let you have a peep when they get it.:-)

OH has been trying to enlarge a pattern for me on our photocopier, it's taken him ages, but still it's kept him quiet!!:^O

I've done a bit of gardening too, bought a lovely pot for my clematis, took it out of it;s old pot and then found out the new one isn't big enough:O I'd even trimmed the roots. So it's gone back in it's old one for now. I paid £35 for that pot too!!!!! (well £14 was my winnings on the National so it wasn't that bad)

I'm sure I'll find something to plant in it.....hhhmmmm I would like another Acer]:)

[bitsnknots]

The weather hasn't been fit to do any gardening here today.  It's blowing a gale and we have had some rain.  I just got on with my knitting.

Glad that Huggles is having a good time.

our windows are rattling with the wind............ was gorgeous all last week...so i decided to wash all my curtains........ took me bejesus ages to unwrap them from the line.:-(

[mandymoosie]

Huggles have fun in the sun 😄

PCC I hope you have a wonderful time 😄

Welshie....poor you 😞 hope you feel better soon and hope you can get to grips with your pattern 😄

Hello one and all :-x

CB you've been doing similar to me today regarding the gardening. 

I needed a big pot, some gravel for drainage and some fancy, pretty stones to go on top, for my lovely new lavenders.

I have grown them indoors, I bought 4 plants, and have ended up with 2 live ones, one is fairly strong and one is super strong and growing really well 😄

OH and friend went to go off to get what I'd asked for, whilst I was preparing dinner, the bloomin battery on the car had gone flat:-(..........OH had left the side light on all night last night :_|

AA came and got it going and off they went again, so have now got my new pot and the rest of the bits :-D...........just now debating whether to re-pot now or leave it till tomorrow, feel really sleepy following dinner!!!

My pot was £18, nice big large blue glazed pot, got it at a little garden place in the country 🙂

Love and hugs to all :-x

tara, an acer is a maple tree. I have a large one in the border and one that is low growing and spreading, that's in a pot. I also have one in another pot that is a patio one so it won't grow too big. Now I have a matching pot I guess I need another acer to put in it, then I have a pair I can put on the steps:-)

Is Von (pcc) away to Paris yet?  Just wanted to say to look out for the Lovers Bridge over the Seine (close to Notre Dame) -  you attach a padlock with a wee note declaring your love, hopefully for your OH.

I last saw it 3 years ago - and it was pretty fully then.  There were noises the Govt. wanted to stop the practice, but don't know if they have.  It's a lovely sight.

Mind you, these past few months, there have been times I'd probably padlock my OH to it and leave him there, lol  B-)

[ginap.123]

& don't forget that once you've done the padlock up you're supposed to throw the key into the Seine so that the padlock can't be undo.

[rainydaywoman11]

do you suppose Gina that the Gendarmerie would consider it an offence, if I did it, that is? :^O

** wonders how long it would take them to 'unbolt' him **

[learning2me]

Morning

Just off to my craft group, then lots of jobs to do as I'm having a day at my sisters tomorrow, then working the rest of the week.

My OH is back on Saturday. Where has the time gone 😮 Had planned to do so much 😉

and they are very expensive, although, in my opinion, worth every penny for the show they give.  You have to look after them though, beautiful 🙂

Oi!! You!!! Get to bleddy bed:^O:-x

OK, prepare for *thud*.  Peeps here last week from letting agency for Sports Events. Ryder Cup, September, 2014 - Golf apparently.

Price for little house - for a week - £5,000 - for 2 people - would that be acceptable?  FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS - less their 12 and a half percent.  And now I'm expected to sleep?????

Offered the same for the guest part of this house - 2 bedrooms both ensuite.  Are golfers rich?  They want the accommodation for the film/reporting crews.  Wanna come to Brazil?? World Cup - that's football - I'll take Stan. ]:)

Just back from income support appeal for youngest son. Judge has allowed the appeal, he is entitled to both income support and housing benefit back dated to December 2011. I know it will take months to get it all sorted and back pay done, but just relieved that it will now be right for the future.

[merc1_clocks]

Just back from Wrightington Hospital, will be having 2nd hip done within the next 8 - 12 weeks, maybe sooner if he has a cancellation 🙂  X-ray showed there is hardly any hip left now!

[bitsnknots]

Welshie I hope that they get a cancellation for you.  I bet your in agony.  Both of my hips are bad but my left one is worse.  Last I had my left hip x-rayed a couple of years, there was wear on it then but it has got worse since.  I do find that both hips seem to be worse during the night for some reason.

[chickengrandma-2008]

You might be able to take my place next Tuesday welshie!  They rang me at 8.30 this morning to say could I go for another blood test today.  The one from Thursday showed low sodium levels. Anyone know what that indicates, the young nurse I saw today said have more salt on my chips.

Hope you get in soon anyway. :-x
