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

aaawww Stan, there's nearly a smile breaking out there isn't there? she's always looking so serious bless her, what is she thinking about eh? she's gorjus!!! I bet she smiles for her Nain though doesn't she?

Chris, there's loads of crumble left, it's got loads of crunchy bit on top too....heh heh heh that's the devil in me

[bitsnknots]

Morning all.  CB, I'm on my way.  I still love crumble.

Mum's not had a good night.  We don't know whether it's palpitations or what it is but she wasn't so good during the night but not as bad as she has been in the past.  This is why I didn't ring for the paramedics but  I'll ring the doctor's at 8.30 to see if I can get her in to see him this morning.  I wouldn't care, when I saw him the other week, he was only saying that he hadn't seen my mum for a while.  Methinks he'll be seeing at some point today.  I'm beginning to feel like I live at our doctors surgery with one thing and another.  Never mind.  Everything will be sorted in the end.

Morning, hope your Mum is OK Books. Has she had a flu jab yet?
eBay is treating me to a peruse of the early days of this thread! I'm learning lots! It goes to a different early page each time I look and before I scroll down to the last page!

[bitsnknots]

We have our flu jabs on Wednesday morning.  Just managed to get hold of the doctors and I have got an appointment for mum at 9.50 so I'll take her down then and see what he says.  I'll be back later and let you know what is happening.

Morning all.

Looks like its a day at the docs for me too as Mr S has a 5pm appointment  (he must be bad as he actually called and made his own appointment and wants me to drive)

[bitsnknots]

Just got back from the doctors with mum.  He's pleased with her blood pressure and heart rate but she has had to have blood tests done with the practice nurse.  We've both had our flu jabs done this morning so it saves us going back on Wednesday.  Mum was told back in May that they were referring her to the heart valve clinic but we haven't heard yet so they are going to chase that up.  Just got to wait for the blood test results now.

Hope that Mr S goes on alright at the doctors later Stan.

[**towery**]

good lucky to all the poorly peeps

lovely sun here again, still warm in the sun, not much wind either

[bitsnknots]

We have had some sun today but it's mainly been cloudy with hardly any wind about.

[**towery**]

looking at the weather forecasts its going to be about  10 degree cooler by the weekend, huge cold fron coming down from  iceland

bbrrr......

been very warm again today 21 degrees inland of us

[chickengrandma-2008]

Yes, it's been beautiful hasn't it, the only complaint is we've had no rain again for weeks.   It'll be strange to feel the cold and have to put a sweater or a jacket on.

Beautiful baby pics ........... including an upsidedown Charlotte
Grumpy, I still keep ending up on random early pages too, I start reading them but then end up having to go without posting as I have stuff to get on with

I'm back on babysitting duties tomorrow, I got Imogen back this evening .......... I love her to bits & even though she limits my knitting time, I wouldn't have it any other way

[bitsnknots]

Morning all.

I can see where you are coming from CK with a little one limiting your knitting time but you're right, we wouldn't have it any other way.  Little ones are just gorgeous.

[petitecalicocat]

Good afternoon everyone , im feeling much better , just need a week to catch up now 

[bitsnknots]

Glad that your feeling better PCC.

[captainbovine]

glad your mum seems to be OK Chris, I've had me flu jab too..no reaction for me but two of my friends have had the sore throat and feeling yukky. Lucky me I got away with it!!!

Hope Mr S is OK Stan, keeping me fingers crossed.

hugs for them that want them

[bitsnknots]

Thinks I'll take one of you hugs please CB.  It's very kind of you.  My mum feels a lot better today apart from feeling tired.  At 81, I think that she's entitled to feel tired. 

My left arm is a bit sore from where I had my flu jab yesterday.  Mum's arm isn't hurting though.  Never mind.  I don't think my arm will drop off though - if it did, I would be armless wouldn't I?

[captainbovine]

seeing you've got a sore arm, here..... It does hurt for a day or two but it's not that bad is it? ..... we're a couple of old crocs aren't we? hahahahaaaa.

Just watched the episode of Downton Abbey that's caused a stir...hhhmmmm...I think the more episodes they make the weirder they get.

[bitsnknots]

CB, I don't think that we could get a good body out of the pair could we?  My mum and I very often say that.  My heart's ok and mum's isn't.  It's just that I need a full skeleton transplant but I don't think that they've started doing them yet.  Also, I agree that your arm hurts for a couple of days but it's nothing major.

I've never watched Downton Abbey 'cos I've never really fancied it.  We're watching Great British Bake Off at the moment.  I'd like Ruby to win 'cos I like her.

[captainbovine]

I can't stick those judges on that. Preferred Mary Berry's cook books meself and I can't stick that fella either.....

I'm just mooching about on here as usual, OH is watching Ice Road Truckers....ya need cotton wool in yer ear'oles to blank out the cussing

[merc1_clocks]

Ear plugs for CB...
