Helloooo...I have surfaced from the dark depths of my shed...and am beginning to see the light.
LOVE the bright colours twi. Is the whole quilt raw edged? It is stunning,
Get well soon carol...nothing worse than feeling miserable.
Dilli...go to skippie's for coffee. She has a whistling kettle for the hob...I defy you to bust that one!
Enjoy your time alone ness. ah...hear the quiet?
What colour are your hands coalie? I still have bits of dye clinging to the cuticles on 3 fingers...where the gloves leaked.

Jumbo it does stay around the cuticles forever aye, mine are still hot pink but if the gloves leak in a few minutes they will be olive green and lilac too haha

coalrange1 - 2012-04-29 15:36:00

I think it is but the dead skin is still hanging on for grim death & where the new skin is growing at times feels like Chinese burns. Thanks for the hugs. I love the white/patterned fabric that you have a bid on, love the piece with the music on it. Good luck.

you only get emailed if you are outbid now if you tick the box when you bid on an auction. thats probably better at least you have a choice.
it may have been there a while but i only just noticed.

We have been really lucky to get away with a few cracks in the walls & garage floor, but the lawn & garden path are no longer even.

dilli is probably checking her broomstick to see if it can stand up to the wild gusty winds that are happening at the moment
