many of us have done that bhs (including me)...but look at it this way, being married to the wrong guy just kept us busy until the right guy was ready for us!

Plenty dust bunny's in this house especially as the doors are open. Have been busy fixing a quilt for a client and it's needs top stitching before Queens Birthday weekend.
Yep the dude is my first love, including the ups and downs we are still together. Yeh Ness, have fun with your sister, I'm kinda jealous now, no sisters for me in this country.
Well better go and see this lady and show her what I have been able to achieve with her quilt and see if she is happy with what i have done.

thanks Dilli i had a couple hehe :)

coalrange1 - 2012-05-28 19:12:00

Thank you coalie...have just had tea and that will finish it off nicely. I really enjoyed my day at work too...it was real fun sewing with the kids. They are doing accessories for their wearable arts and I had to help them sew oversized ties which they will then paint. Awesome fun.
Oh b...dreams are free so dream on I say! Nothing happens by chance you know. Sometimes we have to wait and see why things happen as they do. ( Deep and emotional...not like moi at all at all!!!)
What is everyone up to tonight?

jumbobon - 2012-05-28 19:18:00

what am i doing tonight, handsewing binding gosh my life is sooooo exciting lol

coalrange1 - 2012-05-28 20:21:00

I am knitting and have almost finished Missy's fingerless gloves:o)

wee5 - 2012-05-28 20:44:00

i googled button quilts and found this, looks good for such a simple quilt

hello Wee, hope you are all well now, fingerless gloves sure is getting cold enough for them. im so not enjoying the handsewing, i used to do lots and now i cant sit still long enough to get much done, maybe i will put the darning foot on and sew it.

coalrange1 - 2012-05-28 20:54:00

I love that coalie...so dainty.
I had great intentions of sewing tonight but my eyes are a bit tired. The rest of me is willing but the focus has got up and went...
BTW did I tell you about the present we got from Tabitha last night? She brought a mouse inside and dropped it by the food bowls! Isn't she clever? Thank goodness it was dead... She has gone outside again now so maybe we will get another one. Yum!

jumbobon - 2012-05-28 21:02:00

I am still crocheting my granny rug, its getting big now, im just going round and round not doing little squares, thought i would be different !
Lovely present jumbo !!

shell156 - 2012-05-28 21:08:00

jumbo you'll have to show/tell Tabitha to catch rats they have more meat on them heheheheheeeee
Thanks for the dessert coalie had some for snupper.
Love the quilt but would not use it on a cot me be to saftey conscious with buttons and babies.
Have an order for some nappies so will have to sew them tomorra so the 9 squares on the back burner yet again. I will get it done I will get it done I WILL GET IT DONE heheheheheeeee ONE DAY..........
Have a great nite all

dilligaf_dah - 2012-05-28 21:50:00

The button quilt is gorgeous Coalie, so simple and effective. I picked up Mr 9 from school this arvo and he said he was cold. I felt him and he was burning up so dosed him up on paracetamol. It looks like i will have company at home tomorrow:o) The gloves are knitted now, just need to sew them up in the morning cos i cant stitch black at night.

Night night all.

I forgot to say thanks for the name of the rat book Jumbo, what a great story to teach life lessons. It is sold out on both fishpond and book depository so I will get it when it is back in stock.

wee5 - 2012-05-28 22:07:00

so true Dilli about the buttons and babies.
Shell the crochet blankets are lovely to keep you warm as you are making them.
Oh Wee hope its a 24 hour bug Mr 9 has and nothing more :(
sweetdreams.

coalrange1 - 2012-05-28 22:29:00

Evening all, home again. Nice jumbo, Tabitah is feeding the family, wait till they bring them in alive and then let them go.
Knitting myself some socks, looking warm and cosy, have to turn the heel and then it's the foot part, knitting goes really quick and it's fun.

skippie1 - 2012-05-28 22:41:00

Morning all! Skippie will be able to put her foot in it without even trying once her socks are finished! Home today so hope to get things done. Breakfast is ready and waiting...I'll see you when you get here!

jumbobon - 2012-05-29 06:54:00

oh thanks jumbo I could just do with a bit to eat now. Been up since just after 5am & starting to feel peckish. You are right about things happening without a reason. I know that is why DH had to trip over my feet on the train, otherwise we would never have spoken to each other. hehehehehe I keep falling for him alll the time don't want to count the number of times he's had to pick me up.

bhs47 - 2012-05-29 08:15:00

Morning all, thanks for the breakfast, love that first cuppa tea in the morning.
Jumbo will come and see you after my haircut around 10 AM. Still reasonable warm out, forecast didn't sound to good. Hope to get a quilt on my machine today and start stitching.
Yep B, reason for everything, just as well we don't know it all would be boring.

skippie1 - 2012-05-29 08:48:00

lol b thats clever and funny good to start the day with a laugh.
Thanks for the brekkie jumbo see ya when mes gets there.
Nice and sunny here this morning so me going out to pick up the silk fabric me bought for edging the quilt. (Honest I had to buy some heheheheeee - what I had in me overfull stash was all boring ).
Have a great day all.
Enjoy the sunshine I am sending to everyone.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ hugs }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} and nice cuddly warm huggies to go with the sunshine.
Now for me coffeeeeeeessss

aww thanks B;o) I didnt want to spam everyone but if anyone is interested in doing surveys online which earn money for Mr 9's special school let me know and I will send you the link. I get one to two surveys a week and each is worth $1 or $1.50 and take between 5 and 15 minutes.

i have just layered 5 fabrics together to make a faux chenille quilt. Am going to start sewing now. Mr 9 is home to supervise me and to keep the fire stoked, just a cool 10 degrees here.

wee5 - 2012-05-29 13:56:00

well emailing exboyfriend has sent me searching my roots (pardon the pun) again. Have spent all afternoon reading about Belfast, looking through old photos & videos all on Youtube. What interesting time relearning about my city of birth.

bhs47 - 2012-05-29 18:02:00

b....!! Roots?? Oooh I think this is getting a bit too hot for me to handle....!!
My sister was also born in Belfast in 1941. My brother was born in Wales and I am the first Kiwi of our family. Hooray! I got first in something!
Been stitching today and I am happy with what I got done. Maybe skippie will be pleased that I completed the task she set me...she will be in laterer on to check up on me. I'M NOT SCARED!
Whachu fullas doin'?

jumbobon - 2012-05-29 19:05:00

oooh B said a 5 letter word oooooh hahahaha gosh tis no wonder my puter packed a sad and crashed ( even before i read it it knew it was there LOL )
quilt finito yay pic maybe tomorrow, all sewing stuff put away and have reading to catch up on and emails to catch up on, oh yeah and those dust bunnies are still lurking too....
Jumbo are you sure you arent the tinsiest bit scared haha

coalrange1 - 2012-05-29 19:25:00

Been back on the trail of the past since dinner timer, this time been searching out the Showbands & enjoying good old Irish music.

coalrange1 - 2012-05-29 22:21:00

Coalie...I have done that once to our eldest daughter when she was 6. She said shit ever so sweetly and looked defiantly at me as she said it. I explained that if she said it again I would have to wash her tongue with soap so that it only said clean words. The little sweetie looked at me with her two top teeth missing and smiled as she repeated the word. I took her gently...and I mean gently...by the hand into the bathroom, wet the soap and spread it generously onto her extended tongue! She asked for a drink of water. It was denied. I didn't hear her say it any more. Maybe that was when the under her breath thing started??
Skippie has been in and we had a good old chin wag about all the crafts we have tried in the past. An awesome night.
See you all in the morning...I have some playing to do on the computer.
Diiiiilllli! Diiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllliiii-
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!! Are you okay? Never known you to be so quiet....

jumbobon - 2012-05-29 23:12:00

Jumbo, they have all gone to bed and they can't hear you.
Hope that all those kiddies don't get whooping cough, nasty bug to have.
Bl..dy cold here tonight, it's 0 degrees outside already, so it will drop to -4 at least.
First sock is finished, a legged man would be pleased but I need two, will start the next one tomorrow.
Well nearly bedtime just waiting for my blanket to get warm.
Sweet dream and stay warm.

skippie1 - 2012-05-29 23:31:00

Up you get lazy bonses...the frost will soon thaw and the sun will shine...don't waste a ray of it!
