twilight23 - 2012-05-06 09:50:00

morning all. was a very wet but proud mummy yesterday. the kids had soccer in the pouring rain but both of them won awards, my girl got player of the day for her team and my boy got hardest trier! next time I will remember to take an umbrella and gumboots thats for sure!
Im pretty much out of ties for my quilt now and have already raided the nearest op shops so might have to go further afield to find the final few.
Very tired this morning and Im going out to a friends for dinner tonight, hope I dont fall asleep on her hahahaha

love the colours Holly they are really lubberly they will look good on the quilt wont they ?
4.2 earthquake here just over an hour ago and now a 4.1 in christchurch hmmm whats that huge moon doing ? yuk.

coalrange1 - 2012-05-06 12:52:00

I'm baaaack! Good afterbull constanoon...and what a lot of chatting has gone on.
Love the colours holly. I had a similar result when I tried a purple from a red and blue too...obviously the red and blue are made of different pigments. I haven't done it with the ones I tried...but if you put a few grains of the powder on a scrap of white fabric and then mist them with some water, you can see what the original colour were. But I like the browns too....
What a bunch of pigs to take baby clothes...what for? I just don't get it.
I had one of those down the throat thingies years ago...I was sedated and typical of me...I went out to it! Just as well by the sounds of things...
Hope to see skippie some time today and catch up with her goss. She is coming with me to the SPCA this week. I think I will get two cats. DD's ones aren't spending as much time here as I thought they would so I will get my own!!

haha yup Twi thats me :)
i like second pic, will keep a copy may make it.
have ya have ya looked at the super moon tis quite something and yes tis bigger than usual.

coalrange1 - 2012-05-06 18:17:00

Hi there you there. Yes coalie...did look at the moon before it was covered by cloud but didn't notice a significant difference...observational skills lacking!
Haven't contacted skippie. Phone is flat as a pancake...or a worn out battery...or something! Useless me hasn't got round to charging it either. Will do tonight.
BTW holly I checked my red and blue and they were not at all different as far as pigment goes. Then I thought...silly old me...red yellow and blue are the primary colours which means of course that they cannot be made by mixing colours. Shucks...some people are the silliest alive eh?!!

jumbobon - 2012-05-06 19:50:00

Evening all, me here, have been busy in my room. Machine is stitching coasters, boy 1200 suddenly seems lots when you see them being stitched. Jumbo great to hear you are home, hope you feel rested.

skippie1 - 2012-05-06 20:00:00

i agree Jumbo the moon looks the same as last night now but when it came over the hill it was cream coloured and did look quite something, oh well never mind :)
Skippie, 1200 coasters ! gosh are you planning a party.

coalrange1 - 2012-05-06 20:32:00

jumbobon - 2012-05-07 07:29:00

Good morning, it's a misty start to the day in the Bay.
Dilli hope your shoulder is better today.
Breakfast is ready, come on shake those legs and get out of bed.
My 1st batch of coasters is of the machine. now some cutting to do and finish the edges, that will keep me busy for while. I have 4 cats here who think that their being starved as I have no cat biscuits this morning
for them, better do some shopping today of they will leave home.
Holly, love you fabric, it's always a surprise that what so nice about it, but not when you are wanting a particular colour.
Shell, how is L at the moment, is he settling better at school.
Take care and have a great day.

We have had the spa pool 3 months now Coalie and it gets used everyday. One of our best purchases ever.

wee5 - 2012-05-07 07:54:00

shell156 - 2012-05-07 08:11:00

Morning all nice blue sky here but very chilly !!
Love the colour of your fabric holly tis nice !!
Skippie - yes he is doing a little better, a new classroom and teacher this term, they have done lots of visuals for him to show him what and who he has and does each day which is helping alot. Hes not doing friday afternoons now as by then hes knackered so i take him to the aquatic centre for a nice swim and play in warm pools to finish off the school week..

Not sure whats doing here today, walk the dog as usual then home for hot shower and housework !!
Have a luffly day all.

shell156 - 2012-05-07 08:17:00

Oh Lincraft, what is that shop like, Spotlight? how tempting Wee, do tell us what stash and specials you get.
Good to read that you are having so much fun out of the spa pool. Do the boys go in by themselves or do you need to go with them into the spa.

skippie1 - 2012-05-07 08:18:00

wee, might just catch up with you at Lincraft. Heading that way after dressing is done on leg. Will be around lunchtime. Hope we run into each other.

Frosty morning.

Hugs to franny and all those who need them:o)
Lincraft is like a mini spotlight and was a rather disappointing shopping experience for me today. I got some neutral homespun and some osnaburg fabric and a couple of balls of scarf yarn. Sorry B, didn't see your message till I got home, I was there about 9.30am. I hope you had more success than me.

wee5 - 2012-05-07 14:45:00

Dilli, Joy you are both more than welcome, enjoy.
here on the kapiti coast at the post office we can only use their bags or boxes to post anything, they are trialling it. its ok but means you cant brown paper wrap anymore.
Wee what is osnaburg fabric used for ?
Dilli it was Twi that brought the videos here :)

coalrange1 - 2012-05-07 15:21:00

Ooooops so sorry Twi many thanks for the video ..........

dilligaf_dah - 2012-05-07 15:23:00

wee, sorry we missed each other, got to Lincraft just before twelve & did manage to find some more fabrics to add to the stash plus the home spun that was a really good buy at $4.50 a metre. Also bought two cutting edge rulers, square & rectangle. They sharpen your rotorary blades while cutting your fabric. They were a good buy. Have come home with a smile on me dial & a stash to boot.

bhs47 - 2012-05-07 15:36:00

what is osnaburg fabric used for ?
Coalie - it is used for Cross stitch & can also be used for machine embroidery. It is an embroidery fabric.
