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
that's exactly the way I am! I've got as far as making a list of what I need to do!
One of my to-dos was to phone my mum & tell her that the Sky bloke was going round on tuesday to fit Sky for her as a christmas present (we;ve paid the first year upfront for her). She just beat me to it as Sky sent a letter to tell her about them installing it on tuesday & she didn't realise it was addressed to me until she opened it & she just phoned me.
couldn't think what else to get her Maggie, she's very hard to buy for, the girls have clubbed together & bought her one of those table top ovens so that she doesn't have to put the main oven on just for herself (she's been hinting that she's like to get one).
The set top boxes don't have the kind of programme she likes (history, crime, biographies etc) so we bought the knowledge package for her which contains all of these
LOL Merlin. just trying to imagine the guy in Slaters trying to measure a turkeys inside leg!!!:^O
well I've just, for some reason had a mad burst of energy & scrubbed the bathroom to within an inch of it's life (even getting on my hands & knees with a knife to remove the old glue where we've recently taken the other flooring up), tidied (very vaguely) the kitchen, given the christmas tree a drink & vacced the front room & hall. Now back to no energy again!!
Going back to what Merlin said, daughter had a phone call from her mate who was just driving home past homebase, her mate was crying. She'd just gone past an accident & the body was still there, covered with a blanket. What made it wore for her was that the blanket was surrounded by carrier bags. Obviously someone rushing around trying to finish the last of thier christmas shopping. Daughter phoned her hubby (who she'd been moaning at about not being able to get to argos to pick something up) & told him to come straight home after work. nothing is worth that & it makes you appreciate what you've got.
So stay safe everyone & take care.
OK, now I need some advice! have found evidence of a mousie under the sink (& it's not one of Catknitters), there must be a mouse entrance somewhere there as it's the same place we had one in the spring. we have a humane trap, which catches them alive & the one we caught in May was taken over to the park & released. Now though, I'm gonna feel guilty if I release one into the snow! What do I do with it when we catch it? I did think of putting it in the shed where it may be a bit warmer (I'm a total softy), any advice?
:_| The accident.
It's obvious gina, set the trap and in the couple of days it will take to catch it, merlin will have knitted it a nice warm jumper and matching bobble hat, and then you can let it out in the park.:-D
A mouse is for life & not just for Christmas (can you tell I just made that up)
Perhaps I could release him in someone elses shed (next doors has a broken window!)
Sorry, I'm far to soft for something more 'permanant'.
Love it CG! get knitting Merlin, but bear in mind the last one was caught within 24 hours, so knit quickly!:^O
