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

We put our tree in a pot for the winter as it was such a weak looking little thing. All it's leaves have fallen off now, I don't know if it's just because it's autumn or if it's dead!

The bag is in a drawer with all the other things that 'might come in handy one day':-D

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

it will be dormant chickengrandma
thats why they sent them out now

but if you are in doubt
get your nail and scrape away a wee bitty of the bark
if its green inside its still alive:-D

[chickengrandma-2008]

I expect it will be ok merlin. Hubby likes getting dead looking plants and nurturing them back to health, even when we don't want them!:^O  He goes to the local greengrocer's every day to get their spoilt fruit and veg for the chickens and there's often various plants in pots that have 'died'. He plants them all up with his special 'chicken manure' and they usually spring back to life.:-D

I havn't got a tree to nurse, but if i did have, i would put a piece of quartz next to it and speak to it often ( the tree that is )

walks off before anyone calls me loopy 🙂

[cat-knitter]

[hiddengems2010]

Leaves quickly cos i'll get the blame for something - rolls eyes, wanders off 😛

[cat-knitter]

Admits nothing 😐


Quite fancy's a tree 🙂
would need a garden to put it in though :^O

Don't panic if you get an email saying that the sewing group has closed. I have just deleted the old group to see if the new one will run better without it. At the moment it won't recognise me as group leader so I cant let people join.

[**towery**]

lol

why did you just not start a group then delete the old one when everything was up and running  ?

[ilove2patch]

We have one up & running. That is still there. I deleted the one from before the changes. Ebay kept it as read only which we don't need now we have the new one. The new one is not recognising me as group leader so I can't send invites or allow people to join as it says I am not group leader. I was thinking that might be because the old group was still lurking in the background!

[**towery**]

i cant understand why they arent working for you

i sent a invite as a mod wed or thursday
the invites got through with in the hour
and the old groups still there too

have you a mod to try to sen invites?

[learning2me]

Morning ladies.

Just read that email and was a bit puzzled Maggie 😮

[ilove2patch]

The new group is still there.:-) I have been getting 'requests to join' from people & when I click on 'accept new member' it says I need to be the group manager to let people join. It just doesn't recognise me as the group leader. Thee is another group leader having the same problems. She has been posting on the New Community thread.

I can always make the group public for a short time to let people in but this is a pain!

[**towery**]

have you just tried  inviting their ids? instead of the accepting


sun, cloud, rain here all day so far

[ilove2patch]

Yes I have. It only lets them in if the group is set to public. I have made me, under a different id, co manager to see if that works. I need someone to request to join now to see if that works.:-)

[chez0_3]

you have a request......


( not that you'll guess who this is!!!!!)

[ilove2patch]

It works on my co manager id.:-D It doesn't recognise ilove2patch! lol

[**towery**]

i guess you'll just have to juggle id's sometimes maggie

getting a bit annoyed with the mess, nothing seems to work for everyone
