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'm still making Monkeys Maggie, I just don't post pics as often, I wouldn't know where to start with dolls  :^O   & I'm going to make another sackboy after the weekend if I can get another small zip.

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

:|sackboy is burning a hole:^O
 
and stoopid cat thinks she is a chicken and the mouse is an egg
she sits on it all the time
:_|
she goes round and round and actually positions herslf on it
wonder what it will be when it hatches

Thank you for the 'welcomes' to Amberley.  Thinking of drying wood etc. for fires,  it's 23 years today since the Grreat Storrm!! and we've still got wood from that!!

I'm making a skirt for my daughter. I'm not using a pattern so it might look more like a balaclava or something!:^O

I'm sure it won't CG 🙂

Offers to go & take mouse back ...... it seems to have created an identity crisis :^O
At the moment I am getting, why haven't you made "me" one from  Son (sackboy) ............ goes off hoping I can still get eyes 😐

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

she has never ever played with toys
she must have had about 20
and we all make things on strings etc for her
nothing has ever taken her fancy
i've sprayed stuff with kookamonga (my last cats went nuts for anything with that on it)
still nothing
 
last night i slipped it out from under her and put it in Bradleys bed:^O
he came through:_|X-(
its given me as much entertainment as the cat!

Yep Merlin - a witchie for you - can't promise when she'll be finished though - depends if I get sidetracked!!

Menfolk are all out in the garden doing the top bit of hedge they can only reach if they can borrow a huge ladder. They cut one piece off - it was over 10 feet tall! Fortunately that was the biggest bit - still over all its now 3 or 4 foot shorter than it was -still over 25 foot tall though!! Neighbour beyond doesn't mind - the hedge is actually 2 rows deep - his bit is the same height and he cut loads off last summer.

Am being driven mad by a smoke alarm - house is not burning down but it keeps going off. Am thinking the wind is blowing dust in from outside. After the 20th time I attacked the alarm with a broom - its dead now!

:^O :^O Hippy i like your style, the last alarm i attacked was with half a house brick, I think we should bury them together :^O

waves, cos i wasn't in then 😄

Pmsl @ Merlins cat

Will have to go read the thread again cos i can't remember what else was said :^O

[hiddengems2010]

here are two out of the 3 got the other to finish

All the girls are 2 years old & within months of each other, so i'm hoping they will be ok with them 🙂

Ps i used pillow stuffing ( new cushion ) 🙂

[*hippyfairy*]

They look great Gems 🙂

Just told MrHF about the alarm - apparently I am to buy another one! and he'll put that one up. Guess that so if this one goes wrong, I'll get the blame - not as stupid as he looks 😉

[hiddengems2010]

Hippy - Thank you :-x

When your choosing your alarm get his opinion before you buy, then if it does go wrong you can half blame him 😉

[ilove2patch]

Lovely dollys.:-) Mine goes off when I cook chops! :^O

[hiddengems2010]

Thank you :-x

must remember to avoid Maggies dinner invites 😉

[ilove2patch]

A wise plan Gems! lol:^O

[*hippyfairy*]

We have another alarm downstairs - is cunningly used as a dinner gong - it goes off and the menfolk know its dinner time!!

[**towery**]

are you all bad cooks?
or are the alarms in bad places?

[ilove2patch]

I am a good cook really but do like my chops crispy! lol

[hiddengems2010]

My alarm was the shed one, sure the neighbours thought i had lost it lol, I know hubby did 😄

Likes a bit of crispy belly pork & bacon now & then 🙂

Have just made another Star Taggie for my second Grandson.

His Dad has also asked for a Sock Clown for him, so may do that tomorrow.

[mushy*peas]

Morning people 🙂

It's all doom and gloom here. A very good friend rang to say her hubby has had a heart attack (50) and told me not to go and see him as he needs quiet.  Is she suggesting I'm noisy :^O  SHe said I'm the only person she can say that too as I will understand, and I do.

My Tuesday man has just been carted off in an ambulance.  Don't know if anyone picked up on it a while ago as I mentioned he has been diagnosed with cancer.
 
He was carted off in an ambulance a few weeks ago as he had not eaten for a week and didn't quite know what was what, plus he is not talking properly.  They kept him in all day, did two blood tests and then sent him home saying they had no worries about him.  He has never left his bed since and has only had Build Ups for food.  Hasn't even had the results of his biopsy and bone marrow test.
 
So, allegedly he has a lymphoma which is either treatable or curable, but I think he has just gone downhill because he is a worrier. and now they won't treat his as he is not fit enough.

Sorry to go on.  Had to tell someone. 

[**towery**]

((MrsR))
hope there is good news for them both
 
dont apologise for letting it out here
