Had a fun morning making salt dough decorations for christmas tree, chockie boy was cutting out the shapes with cookie cutters, then when cooked and cooled he would help colour them with felt pens.......10 year old grandy made some lovely ones too, shes taken left over dough home to make more.

Got email from T&A they are in Manchester today and tomorrow - buying our soccer mad daughter soccer t-shirts hehe
He said weathers not too cold and can even be a bit too warm somedays.

Going to sew now..........

Hi Liz, that would of been a fun day :) i mean today not yesterday.
Twilight mmmm daughter plays soccer too, her bf got her a proper soccer t-shirt with her name on the back. She works saturdays because on mondays a whole group of her friends go to the park and play soccer all day (they all work and all have mondays off or work that night. She loves it, we brought the kids up encouraging them in rugby and soccer, not playing it but watching it, when they were little before a game on tv we would make silly hats and when game was on we would yell and cheer and be stupid but it got them interested and they enjoy watching it now....

Nice bag twilight... Had a nosy at a lovely little quilt shop in the arts centre today, had hubby and liv in tow so didn't buy anything. Also managed to get some sewing machine needles at ballentynes (who's haberdashery section moved and i could never find it) $4.50 for a pack with i'm pretty sure is cheaper than spotlight :D then had to have a nap after all that walking in town

Well, was just heading out the door to get my rubbish bin in, (heard neighbour getting hers in so knew they had been emptied), caught her sticking my bin in our front gate (i also do this for her if theirs are still out when i grab mine), "oh i've just put the coffee on, do you have time for a coffee" yep, so popped over, an hour later just got home and we have a trip planned to spotlight next monday.

liz_taylor - 2009-11-23 11:31:00
1546

yaaay stan won australian idol yaay, thats good liz you can have coffee with neighbour, i dont know mine, everyone in the street go to work, sometimes i feel like the neighbour watcher, i can see the street when i sew hehe lol ( check out all the cars, we have a high rate of burglaries in this area) i think that spotlight have a sale
i am just finishing an unfinished project from my sister first

twilight23 - 2009-11-23 12:36:00
1547

Yup Stan won - dont tell my grandy, shame they are making it such public knowledge tho when we dont get to see it until Friday nite.

Just got email from T&A in Glasgow, Scotland now, enjoying trip.

Just spread out batting for quilt and just have enough - awwww im going to have to go to fabric shop hehe lol not today tho, will get this finished.........

coalrange1 - 2009-11-23 13:37:00

My neighbours on that side are fab, my ex 5th form english teacher and his wife. His wife doesn't drive so whenever i'm heading to spotlight i let her know incase she wants to tag along, have coffee at least once a week. She loves sewing and cooking, is great to talk to about pretty much anything. She's pretty much a surrogate mum for me as my mother seems to have her head too far up her own backside to care about what her family is up too. She also got me a spotlight voucher for my birthday :D

liz_taylor - 2009-11-23 14:15:00
1549

Aww Liz what a sweetheart neighbour you have, fantastic that you have someone you can talk to, and has similar interests,
Have you been cutting your fabric ?????

Just going to sew mine altogether now :)

coalrange1 - 2009-11-23 14:55:00
