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 thought of you today Merlin. We were in this posh shop & they had an american juke box for sale. Red, white & chrome. It looked amazing!

[*chez*]

we have loads of large wooden beads at work.. but I think they are all painted in very bright colours..

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

i want to paint them anyways chez

we looked at having a jukebox maggie, i would so love one, but we just dont have the space or i would have one in a minute

[*chez*]

The sort of wooden beads a child would thread on a shoe lace?  if so I'm sure a couple could jump into my pocket.. any choice of colour?

[hiddengems2010]

Aww sorry merlin afraid i'm no help on that one 😐

Maggie you seam to do well with craft shops down there,

nearest one that sells a small selection of beads and quilting fabric is at sheffield, only about 20-25 mins if theres no traffic 🙂

Chez what do you do, do you work in crafts ?:| tell me to mind my own if you like, anyone else would :^O

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

:Ooh you cannot "liberate" them chez
what would they stick up their noses then:^O

oh brill, bet ya love it 😄

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

are you really chez? i didnt know that
i used to do crafts with primary ones when mine were at school, just as a parent helper they asked me if i would do an hour a week, i loved it, and it ended up 2, 2 hour sessions

[*chez*]

I have a moan now and again but can't bring myself to leave!

They have cottoned to the fact I try to sew.. the drama costume cupboard is full of my creations..

I'm helping with a class tapestry in the summer.. but my real love is the environment.. I take the gardening club.


new timetable kicks in tomorrow and I'm in reception in the afternoons so liberating red beads should n't be a problem..

in fact I just checked my work bag..  no beads.. but 3 multi link cubes, 4 broken pencils and a chewed up bit of jigsaw are lurking in the bottom..

I love nursery years (kids) they are so impressionable, and easy to guide, its when they older like 23-24 i cant cope :^O

Hubby and I have just been trying to get the new Christmas tree back in it's box for the first time.  We've got it in.:-D.............................................apart from that part of it in that big plastic bag over there.:^O

[*chez*]

lol.. I do little ones under sufferance.. I much prefer key stage 2

[chickengrandma-2008]

I used to go and help out in reception when my two were at school, about 30 - 35 years ago.  There were no such things as classroom assistants then, just some of the mothers who had the time.  None of these checks either, I used to help dry and dress them after swimming as they had a small indoor swimming pool.  Come to think of it, it was mainly undressing/dressing them for PE too!

[hiddengems2010]

lol CG, why is it that things never fit back in the packages they turned up in ;\

I am sat doing something that i havn't done since i were 15-16

Sat eating sunflower seeds 🙂

[chickengrandma-2008]

Yuk!  You'll start squawking like a parrot next.:^O

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

[hiddengems2010]

[*chez*]

sunflower seeds are for planting.....

and for proving the Fibonacci sequence

[hiddengems2010]
