Glad you found the Crafty Needle Holly, she is a really neat lady isn't she. Really helpful but not pushy.
Anyone else just watched the movie on three, husband went to bed, too girly for him but I loved it and cried buckets at the end.
Nite all, going to do some sewing tomorrow.

franny8 - 2010-02-26 23:13:00

Forgot to say The Crafty Needle doesn't yet have a website, she has only been there a few months but last time I was there she said she hoped to have one soon.

franny8 - 2010-02-26 23:17:00

morning all :) sunny and cool here
great day for sewing have started my stash management

twilight23 - 2010-02-27 10:46:00

Morning all :)

Way too hot here and no breeze.
Twilight started your quilt yay you are doing well :)

hope you all have a great day

coalrange1 - 2010-02-27 11:16:00

Afternoon all, back to normal today and have had a very productive day so far. Helped the husband with trimming the trees as the front and then I did some reverse stitching on that batting I stuffed up a couple of weeks ago and threw in the corner. Have rejoined 2 of the bits and is great now so hopefully I will be able to bag a table at quilt group and finally get quilt pinned ready to quilt. So finally the penny pinching might just have paid off. Do have a new 4 metres of bamboo batting but didn't want to use it until I had used up all the joined off cuts.
Hope you are all having a good day. Afternoon tea is just being served:

coalrange1 - 2010-02-27 16:08:00

Hi Coalie, no not me the husband is the cook and he does turn out a pretty good scone.
What are you quilting now? You probably have said and I've missed it.

franny8 - 2010-02-27 16:34:00

well, been arguig with the overlocker this afternoon, have got it down to the reason it's skipping stitches is either the needle is the wrong size or it's stuffed. so will try some different needles once i been to the shop

coalrange1 - 2010-02-27 22:13:00

Fran they are such lovely gardens.
i wonder if stan went to the olympics with Twilights cousins ? oh dear if he did her dishes will be piling up again unless of couse he comes back each night :)

coalrange1 - 2010-02-27 22:15:00

Grief that is scarey Coalie, guess we are OK but these things seem to have far reaching effects.

franny8 - 2010-02-27 22:15:00

Yes Coalie I can honestly say the gardens are the most beautiful place I have ever been and if there is just one place I could go to again it would be there.

franny8 - 2010-02-27 22:16:00

I am off to bed now so will leave a nice hot chocolate and bikkies for you all. Stepsons birthday tomorrow, bought him a fish smoker which we know he wanted so if we are lucky he might keep us in smoked fish as well as all the lovely fresh fish he gives us.

Hope Twi doesn't have too much washing up saved for Stan he mightn't finish it in time to drive the Twilight Express to Vancouver Island.

franny8 - 2010-02-27 22:21:00

Nite, nite

franny8 - 2010-02-27 22:21:00

Yum thanks Fran mmmm
sweetdreamz to you.

earthquakes are scary stuff, in that report they said there was no tsunami threat to ause and then they changed it that there is eek
a few years ago there was a big earthquake overseas and a few days later we picked up lots of shells on the beach that were deep water ones that we had never before or since found on the beach.
