lv the basket joy.
Coalie and you said I was bad heheheheeeee Lv the fabric though
well ok I am waiting on two more auctions (of fabric) to arrive so I can finish my cutting out. ummmmmmmm I didnt buy more fabric honest heheheheheheheee
Why is it when you start sewing the fabric you dont own look more interesting to work with?????????????
Cake looks great My grandie would like a kitkat cake with peebles on top for her birthday. But she is helping bake it this year.
Hope everyone in CH CH is OK. and just when things looked like they would settle downat long last too.
Been cutting out all day
Have nappies to sew tomorra and me wheat bags and some jeans to take up.
Very wet and cold here today
My hotty gets cold very quickly at the mo heheheheee

Joy basket block looks fantastic, pat yourself on the back its perfect.
haha at the can opener or takeaways tis the same here, whole family loves cooking and are good at it cept me, i dont like it at all. Gee you go to sooo much effort to cook something they eat it and poof its gone, nothing to show for your effort except dishes hahaha

coalrange1 - 2012-05-15 17:39:00

I'll join the I don't like cooking club too...but muttley doesn't do too well on takeaways so I try to seem keenish...
Stan? No way! But after one and a quarter hours he did fix it, so mustn't complain.
The basket is sooo lovely joy clever clogs. How many are you going to make...a quilt or a bag?
Sorry about the cake ness...but I reckon I left enough crumbs to go round. Happy Birthday to your DD from me. I remember being 10. Walking seven miles to school on metal roads in bare feet with a crust of bread to tide me over for the day...the scrape of the slates...the strap from the oh so crabby teachers....
Oh yes, I remember....

morning all, boy am I pooped after last night efforts with the kids, AND they totally kicked my butt bowling lol. I will have to hang my head in shame now hehehe.
Yes wee there is about 1/4 of the cake left. I sent 1/4 to my ex hubbys house since he didnt manage to get a slice last night trying to keep the kids reined in.
Oh shell that cuppa is going down very nicely right now, thank you.
Joy I forgot to tell you your basket looked lovely, cant wait to see more of your handiwork :)
Have cut out some more toy parts but almost out of stuffing so might have to make the pilgrimage to the fabric store in a day or two to get some more. I hope everyone is having a good day, and may all your fabric stashes be big ones! hahahahaha
