yep on my way, you must have a few rooms in your house for all this stuff, sewing is great just cut out buzzy bee bag, your daughter will miss her boyfriend, wat a pity he cant wait for an other year,long distent relationships are hard aye

twilight23 - 2009-11-14 18:19:00

Hey there Twilight ooooh that was fun aye :) chockie boy was so funny with appletize in a wine glass he didnt spill a drop. Cake was so totally yummy too. Lots of laughs lots of fun. So glad you came Twilight, did you travel to any countries on the way home hehe.

You asked : you must have a few rooms in your house - ok kids all have their own rooms so when they shift out a room is left, so 2 kids left home - 2 spare rooms but now packed up with sons stuff lol

Hmm long distance relationships - yea its going to be hard on them both, he has set her puter up with a webcam so he can talk to her....

Edited by twilight23 at 10:29 am, Mon 16 Nov

twilight23 - 2009-11-16 10:28:00

Morning Twilight :)
I have a pile of 8 1/2" squares all different colours, so am going to cut each square into 4 then make another dissapearing 9 patch, i just tried it and some bits end up pretty small but not too small. So thats me busy for the day :)
We have bright sunshine but it is quite windy.
Have fun with fiddle bum they dont stay little for long....

coalrange1 - 2009-11-16 10:50:00

forgot to tie down one cupboard he got into the nutella jar lol hehe

Edited by twilight23 at 11:13 am, Mon 16 Nov

twilight23 - 2009-11-16 11:12:00

Lol the nutella hehe
Is he asleep yet ...
Im still cutting and pinning, just went and got a few groceries so i wont have to go any where tomorrow .... may be able to sew all day :)
I should be mowing the lawns tho, i still havent done them... i have one of those battery ones ... so nice dont have to trrrrrryyyyyy and start it and you can have breaks while mowing hehe ....hubby is a workaholic so i get the lawns to do, he did them once years ago they looked such a mess he wasnt allowed to do them again, took me a while to realise i'd been conned hehehe duh me he had messed them up on purpose - he admits to it now and will help if i ask him but i dont bother, i just do them its good exercise.
Youngest daughter gone to airport to see boyfriend off he goes to London for a while then France....hmmm she will be upset....

coalrange1 - 2009-11-16 13:46:00

Heya... been a busy weekend with family stuff. Managed to get back into the shop i got the bra extender from to return it (wrong size) got some standard hooks and was eyeballing a pair of snips when i went to pay (el cheapo $3 ones for by my machine) and the lady said i could grab a pair rather than the rest of my refund ($2) hehe

liz_taylor - 2009-11-16 13:51:00

grandie went to sleep at 12 and woke up at 1.30, have cut out 3 more nappy bags not squares just one piece im going to quilt them instead other grandie here now , the sh:::t always hits the fan when he arrives lol but iv got him watching winnie the poo on tv hehe, there is a bit of jealousy with him, your daughter will be sad.
hi liz good to see you back,

twilight23 - 2009-11-16 15:19:00

Got lawns done whew its sooooo hot - not really just hot mowing takes 30 - 40 minutes without breaks. Looks nice when theyve just been done tho aye, makes it worthwhile.
Hi Liz, hows tadpole???? are you sewing any thing exciting ???
Daughter just text - on way home, hubby just came home with flowers and card for her awwwww that was thoughtful...
Ok cuppa time and then back to cutting, awww shame ive gotta cook tea tonight, rather just google something up hehe lol

coalrange1 - 2009-11-16 15:30:00

Not sewing anything right now... But i am cooking dinner for the first time in 10 weeks... mmmm home made chicken soup... made the stock and all

liz_taylor - 2009-11-16 16:10:00

Yum Liz sounds good :)

Ok so heres the disappearing 9 patch as u will see there are heaps of mistakes as to the placing of the patches and i didnt end up binding the edge properly, i just cut the batting smaller and turned the edges under and did a fancy stitch around hehe cheating lol

coalrange1 - 2009-11-16 16:31:00

You dont realise how used you get to pinning raggies together until you pin ordinary quilts together, you think you are concentrating on it but guess not LOL a 1/3 of them were pinned the wrong way hahahaha !!!!!!!

coalrange1 - 2009-11-16 17:51:00

Awwww Twilight youve had quite a day with grandys aye, i hope you still have some energy left for sewing....hey at least with grandys you get to give them back .....they have gone home have they ???
Im going to start sewing now :) yay

Edited by coalrange1 at 6:56 pm, Mon 16 Nov

coalrange1 - 2009-11-16 18:55:00

wasnt that nice wat you hubby did for your daughter
well your quilt looks pretty good to me coalrange, yes grandies left at 5 and still have energy for sewing lol hehe yeh thats a good thing that you can give them back, i really think that chase should go to daycare some times thats hes not here with me all the time, i do spend lots of time with him he eats a lot here, i think young mums give there kids to mush junk food and those bars, he all ways comes with that but i give him bread, cheese and yoghurt, fruit. which he doesnt get much of at home, and he loves milo,
im going sewing now

twilight23 - 2009-11-16 19:50:00

Thanks for comment on quilt Twilight :)
Daughter just gave me a whole packet of almond icing yummy oooooh one of the yummys of Christmas hehe whoa thats bad aye sitting here eating icing.

twilight23 - 2009-11-17 09:14:00

#254306392 asked question on this - hmm maybe 2 meters max do you think ???? seller has lots listings. Quite expensive for whats there :(
We are s'posed to get rain tonight ....
How old is Chase ???
Ok back to sewing :)

coalrange1 - 2009-11-17 09:30:00

lovely fabric but the discription is to vaigue, she said thats it new but when she answered your quistion, she said that she used these in her crafts, if it was me i wouldnt buy it, you might be disapointed, when you bought my fabric, i measuered every thing out in size, and i think she should have to, did you notice that one was the most expensive,she hasnet measured any of them,it will be interesting to see if they sell,well this is my opinion lol hehe

twilight23 - 2009-11-17 11:27:00

chase is 2 in febuary, just had the arial man here, it got damaged when we had some really bad stormy weather about 5 weeks ago, the tv is perfect again lol

twilight23 - 2009-11-17 11:36:00

Your opinion is greatly appreciated thankyou :)
And other grandy - how old ???

coalrange1 - 2009-11-17 11:47:00
