[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

I was embroidering three flannels with a name as a favour for a friend to give to someone.  The blooming machine kept leaving half the first letter off for some reason.  The flannel was getting a bit the worse for wear by the time I'd picked it out for the third time!  Did it in the end.

Evening all.  Is it me or is it quiet on here tonight?  Methinks that peeps are busy doing other things.

[captainbovine]

oh so do I!!! I thought it was just me....I found some other thread that a man on a galloping horse wouldn't notice it didn't match, actually it was a good match. I'll post a piccie tomorrow, if I say so myself, Mr reindeer looks real cute, and my pattern too!

takes a bow and leaves the stage........

Ohh nice monogram CG 🙂

[bitsnknots]

Evening all.  Thanks for your comment Merc about me being one of the talented ladies on here.  It is very kind of you.

Apart from going for a swim and a food shop this morning, we've had a quiet day.  I am thinking that next Sunday won't be like that because I have a feeling a certain 2 year old may want to stay the night with us.  That should be fun!!

Morning all.  It's a bit overcast here at the moment.  Not been outside yet so I don't know what the temperature's like.  I see that there's bad weather forecast.  I hope not 'cos I can't stand wintry weather.  It should be banned.

Hugs to all that need them.

Pops in & sweeps away the cobwebs, pick up Twishys choklit wrappers, clear away CGs brandy bottles & steal a few balls of yarn that Books has left around  ...... & leaves

Morning all.

Must learn to be a bit tidier in future mustn't I?

Hugs to all that need them.

Morning. A bit of a nothing day here weatherwise. Lots to do so I will see you later.

[petitecalicocat]

good morning everyone ,                         brr its another chilly one today think its going to be a day in my sewing room , its warmer up there 

[chickengrandma-2008]

Good morning, quite grey here today although it's supposed to brighten up later.  We'll see.......................

I had a pneumonia/ meningitis/septicemia jab yesterday,  it's a bit blooming sore, can hardly move my arm!!! 

[wizilizi]

Oh, not just me then - I had a flu/pneumonia jab last week & oochy my arm was sore for a couple of days

Mind you, the Doctor punched it into me 

[ilove2patch]

I had the pnumonia one last year & I had a very red, heavy & sore arm for a week but with this years flu jab I had nothing but a tender spot for a couple of days.

[petitecalicocat]

Yep sounds about right for that type of jab , hope it feels better a day or two 🙂

Not much being done here today .

Im feeling better now the chest infections gonr but having had steroids for 7 days i feel a bit yuck now they are getting out my system . had planned a quiet day sewing day but not getting far , got  side tracked tidying up the sewing area & finding 'lost' items  

[chickengrandma-2008]

Have you finished all the steroids now pcc?  You should have spread the last day's dose over 2 or 3 days to cut down very gradually.  Hubby has to do that every three weeks.  He has three a day so on the last day he takes two and has the last one the next day or he feels pretty rough.  Hope you feel better in a couple of days, and just look after yourself, you don't want to be ill over Christmas!! 

[bitsnknots]

Afternoon all.  It cold here at the moment and it's also a little bit breezy.  We've had strong winds forecast for tomorrow with gusts up to 54 mph.  I'm going out for lunch with a couple of friends tomorrow as well.  I'm also going out for lunch on Friday and I'm going out for my tea on Saturday.  Oh what a social life.  It's either all or nothing.

[captainbovine]

I've had a busy morning, I was up at 8.30 making mince pies! 3 dozen of them, some for work some for us. Then I had a friend over for coffee to tell me all about her cruise she went on with her sister, it was fascinating. Then I made some little felty gingerbread men for our lapels for work. Now I'm trying to type but my eyes are drooping....where's my fleecy blankie..........

[ilove2patch]

[twishy123]
