Love all the makes.  We do have some clever people on here don't we?  I'm not doing much at the moment.  I can't knit at the moment because my left thumb is playing up and I can't decide what to do on the craft line.  I just feel as if I should be doing something craft wise.

Oh Twish, you must have patience, I loathe working with cord edging.  Your curtains are lovely. You must have a big kitchen (so many windows),  eerm could we have a pic of the kitchen too (loves houses).  

 

I have made 5 pairs of curtains recently, but can't upload any photos because they are too big Woman Sad  I have instructions from Stroppy, **bleep** proof, step by step, to make it right, but haven't tried it yet.  For a Luddite like me it's a challenge, lol.

 

Love the bag Maggie, I made a bag too, out of oilcloth, turned out lovely and I keep it in the car for shopping.  Good to see the thread back on track.

Och Twish you don't have to tidy up for me, I'm your chum, so I don't see mess heart

 

This past year, organising himself, teaching him how to cook, showing him what went where - he had no idea where the pots and pans were - I went through all the cupboards and toook out all the bits that hadn't been used like forever.  Bowls, and utensils, and gadgets and Lord knows what - filled 4 boxes - off to the charity shop.  Was then able to take the excess stuff from the worktops and put it in a forever home on a shelf - result.  And I haven't missed one single thing that went away, I recommend.

I need to do that too....aaarrrgh this font size is going bandy again, I can hardly see this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

we have far too much stuff in this house, and I'd sorted out stuff when we moved 2yrs ago, but I'm such a magpie, I need convincing that I won't need stuff I give away.......

 

lovely curtains Twishy, you is a clever bod! I shall be planning my summer swap now.

We are like that CB.  It's very rarely we throw things out.  In about three weeks, we are having a new garage.  The old one is coming down to make room for the new one and the old one needs a serious sort out.  I'm dreading doing it.

Yay CK is back from her continental travels, well, how is she?  Never mind the holiday, how is she? Sorry for being a mad thing, I hope you had a lovely restful time.  I can't post any pics either now - what happened?

 

Coldplay on Graham Norton - I luuuurve Coldplay - haven't seen them and he says no big tours planned.  Oh nuts **disappointed**.  I haven't had time yet to listen to their new album - been getting down to Tamla 'baby, baby, baby don't leave me', jiving round the kitchen.

 

Sorry, it's pill time - can you tell? Woman LOL  I'll say N night now - sweet dreams to all x.

Love the makes again.  I still can't decide what I fancy doing craft wise.  I've been in the front garden weeding again this afternoon until I got interrupted by our local councillor asking if we could sign a petition to keep our local pharmacy open.  Our GP's surgery is moving in a couple of  months and there will be a new pharmacy there.
