Well here you've got it, Jumbo and I went to Spotlight, straighten the HALO, we walked out having bought NOTHING, now isn't that good, even we thought so. So as we had been so good we took ourselves of for lunch and a coffee.

thanks Twi, I will have another look to see if I really really need to buy them.
Edited: don't think I'll bother one has gone up to $24.50 for scraps, no thanks I leave that one. THey're going mad to be paying thoses prices. Edted again: oophs that was not the scrappy one but pieces.

dilli, what you need to do is just imagine that you are in BSB when you go into your room with your boxes and shop at home, see you even save yourself the trip. Is like me looking for wool when I have half a garage full, couldn't find what I wanted or willing to pay exorbitant prices for the yarns. So went shopping in my garage and found what I was looking for, hehehe something that had been sitting there for a while, like 1kg for $14-00 was bought from a little outlet shop years ago.

skippie1 - 2012-05-03 16:28:00

thanks skippie will do that this weekend heheheheeeeee

dilligaf_dah - 2012-05-03 16:32:00

hello girls hope you all been sewing hard making up for me not doing anything

carolev - 2012-05-03 16:48:00

But skippie didn't enlighten you on the Dutch shop eh? THAT was another story...
Have taken down my quilting frame and stored it away...I haven't used it in ages so now I have more space on my table in my shed. It's good too. Even surprised myself

jumbobon - 2012-05-03 17:45:00

hehehehehehe jumbo the dutch shop I would not mention that either heheheheeeeeee
Skippie spoke to my sister tonight re the table clothes and she doesnt mind what size etc. so What colours are your one and email me the costs etc and Ill get back to her. She said to say thankyou for finding the link. that was exactly what they were looking for.
Nice and cold here
cuddles up to a hot water bottle me is.
Jugs on for lots of hot drinks.
Had pizza for dinner I cheated didnt feel like cooking Grandie thought it was super good. heheheheheheeeee

dilligaf_dah - 2012-05-03 17:56:00

dilli,I think that after looking again re the table cloth that mine are a bit heavy as they are real Persian rugs, so I think it might be better if she goes with what is on that website. As for going to the Dutch shop, they are essentials, we need food. I got healthy food like cheese and dutch drop, rookworst and zuurkool.

skippie1 - 2012-05-03 18:16:00

look at these yummy cupcakes there is even a fabric cupcake

Which one of those words means licorice in Dutch? Mmmmm?
Noice cakes twi....I'll have two please...

jumbobon - 2012-05-03 18:48:00

Drop jumbo, DROP, I did say we could go the Dutch coffee mornings so you can learn to speak the lingo

skippie1 - 2012-05-03 18:55:00

auction 471041331 bulk lot of fabric - pastels went for $42, someone was desperate.

bhs47 - 2012-05-03 19:10:00

b I thought that a lot of that fabric went for far too much they may have read the auction wrong though. as it stated 2 metres in some auctions and maybe they thought they were all 2 metre pieces rather than 2 metres in total. I had to read a few of them twice.

dilligaf_dah - 2012-05-03 19:22:00

skippie thats cool will get he to buy some from that place for the table clothes. Many thanks though.

oooh yummy thanks twi!
got off my butt and have sewn 2 blocks today, only 4 more to go. (such a drag, I just want it done already!) Got a letter saying the property manager is around for an inspection on wednesday so time to spring clean again. might be easier to send the kids to their dads next week, that way my house will actually stay clean once Ive cleaned it lol

ness315 - 2012-05-04 12:53:00

Holly! thats come up so well! clever girl!

ness315 - 2012-05-04 12:54:00

Love the quilt Holly, very clever graduated colours. I have just got back from a very moving funeral,. One of those ones that make you question what you are doing with your own life and what people might say about you at your own funeral one day............

wee5 - 2012-05-04 13:07:00

Ness if it wasnt quite so chilly you could of put a tent up outside for the kids haha aww a little frost wouldnt hurt them hahaha
Hugs for you Wee
Holly quilt is gorgeous, do you have more dyed fabric for the border if not maybe you better dye some more haha did your sisters dyes arrive ?

Afternoon all, jan that is sad to read stealing all the baby clothes, but maybe that person needed them more then your friend and it's nice that you can help her to replace them all.Do come into the thread more often.
dilli , hehehehehe having a Oma nap, but as you said the DVD player is a gonner.
Nice quilt holly, do you need more fabric, am sure between all of us we can find some.
Wee, (((hug))) funerals are so sad, I cry even if I don't know the person as I feel sad for those who are left behind and are having to miss that person.
Coallie, how is your quilt coming along.
Ness, house inspection, don't like the sounds of that ,always creates work.
Twi any pumpkin soup left, love soup.

skippie1 - 2012-05-04 17:06:00

well looks like Ive lost my sewing table for the night. But I wont complain, both the kids are busy drawing away and not bickering so I will try not to break that magic spell and leave them to it lol.
Hi jan nice to meet you, im kinda new around here. its very kind of you to help out your friend like that with the baby clothes, shows what a big hearted person you must be

ness315 - 2012-05-04 17:54:00

Skippie the raggie was being sewn with the X's then i thought it would look better with a purple flannel as well as the white soooo have just dyed a flannel sheet, will see tomorrow if its any good. so no sewing now till thats done.
Hello Jan oh thats dreadful, all the baby stuff. thankgoodness you can knit and help out. you need to come in more often, unless youve been lurking you have missed some yum cakes haha :)

coalrange1 - 2012-05-04 18:58:00

coalrange1 - 2012-05-04 18:59:00
