Evening all,
Been a windy dull day here today..been doing some googling and came across tunisian crochet, looks and sounds very interesting..
Went to bed eventually last nite after i straightened a few things, was scary stuff.
was roast chicken legs here and veges for tea..
have been crocheting squares for another granny rug, mixed colours, it will look a bit like josef's techny coloured dream coat !!
bed time soon after some more googling

Evening all, thanks for dinner coallie, was just lovely. Have been busy stitching a bright boy quilt with applique monsters, just gorgeous, lot of work though as it is all custom quilted. Will ask the customer if I can put a photo here to show you when it's finished. What colours is you next quilt coallie.
Work for the next two days so not a lot of stitching get done.
Shell, I love crochet granny blankets.
I finished knitting my socks, well were mine, now they are daughter no 1 socks.
Holly at least it keeps you busy making all those booties. Mind you it doesn't keep Dilli out of trouble making all those nappies.

Was at coalies before you skippie loved the roast chicken and the wonderful puddings/desserts.
Thanks so much for the loverbbbby dinner and the coke zerosssssss.......
Was very cold going down on me broom though must use twi twilight express next time it has central heating. So that would be a lot warmer to travel in on these cold nights.
Have finished all the mending now so can start with the elastic sewing tomorra. Did a few today that matched the cotton on the machine.

My friend had a clothing factory and closed it a few years back now and her other friend had a lot of fabric stored in her shed. So both had been doing a clean out of the shed. Hence they droped a big bag of fabric of for me for the dolls clothes etc. They have given me so much fabric over the years rolls of it....... but my supply from them was empty so they stocked me up again.
Will go through some of it on sunday. cant reseist it heheheeeeeee
Most of the boxes we went through twi when there was lots of it was from the factory. Some I just can not use for dolls clothes.

Thank you coalie...breakfast is well received here. There is a wee bit of sun...at last...hooray!
Glad you are feeling betterer coalie. Bl***y meds! Cursed without them as well as with them eh? Hope to be a bit more productive today. Tried something yesterday but was not too happy with it so will try again today. I also got some carving stuff for stamp making so will have to have a go at that too. Fun fun fun. You all make sure you get a dose of fun today as well!!
I suppose we won't hear too much from skippie over the next few days. She will be 'otherwise occupied'! I must take my Mum's walking stick around to help her out. She could end up a bit lame at her age!!
