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

[ilove2patch]

Have you no upstairs other than the gallery then?

Decs are down here, they live in the top of the meter cupboard, it's too high up to store anything thats needed too often!  need to do a good hoover,my artificial tree drops more than a real one!

Might have to make myself some bunting, there is a very bare space when I take down the xmas bunting.. ( mind you said that last year) think my first sewing project of 2014 will have to be draught excluders.

OH has gone to help my daughter with some stuff and made me promise that while he is out..* I won't move nothing*  yep I can manage that.... Going to move the bed and all the junk under it to see if it makes room in the bedroom for more shelves!

Not at the moment Maggie, but son has plans!!  That's why he built the roof so tall, it'll be the only three storey bungalow in the road!  

He has the planning permission to put the windows in, so up here there will be five bedrooms and three bathrooms.  

[ilove2patch]

That's going to make it a very big house CG. Good job you have a cleaner!

[rhubarbcity]

I don't like going up into the atic very much, it never used to bother me, but it is that first step out of the atic onto the ladder that i don't like now. That space looks amazing CG.

Have just been messing and made the twishy one some fishes

[chickengrandma-2008]

That'll probably be after our time Maggie!  

She'll love those Ruth!

Looking forward to seeing what you do Ruth. You are very inventive. I loved your map postcards.

Afternoon all.  It's rather on the cool side here at the moment.  If it stays like this, I think that there will be an extra blanket going on the bed tonight. 

I'm getting on well with the jumper I'm knitting.  I bought some wool in the sale at the wool shop in town earlier on in the week.  I went in the wool shop again this morning but they didn't have anything I fancied.  Mum wants me to take into town to the wool shop next week so we'll see what they have then.

my deccies live in the cupboard in the bedroom, all in plastic boxes out of the way. The tree lives in the garage.

I love sea horses, Twishy should love those Rhubarb. you are such a clever one.

I have an American folk art doll here that needs a tickling up, the stitching is bad, so I'm going to do something about her, or she won't last five minutes.

[rhubarbcity]

After several attempts, the first knitting card, the needles where made from a brush thingy me jig
