hehe Dilli are you sewing or seeing sparkles ? lol
i walked in the shoes oh my gosh they are high but you dont notice that there is no heel, i didnt walk far cause i dont like heights haha
oooh better hide them from Jumbo mm they would leave marks on muttley but then again he would get sympathy if the marks showed rather than how he suffers now with no marks to show hehe
sewing blocks together now .......

Fritters, did you have fritters without me, Oh well I will have to be quicker next time.
Coallie, the quilters have their AGM this Sunday and we will (hopefully) sell some of our home dyed fabrics to the other quilters. Today I have dyed lots of strong dark reds and rusty browns, a lime green,yellow green, turquoise and only one dark blue. So tomorrow will have to do more blues and maybe some lighter colours.

skippie1 - 2012-09-11 23:13:00
36139

Well that there 'whispering' didn't fool me you two. I heard every word...and I missed out on the fritters too...I think the next batch might be even betterer.
Had a good night out at stitch and bitch...I took the books I bought in Hamilton with me to have a read of.
It is so cold here tonight that I might have to wear something to bed!! That will be a shock to the system ...not to mention the cats...
See you on the morrow. Sweet dreams. Do silly old moo cows dream ?......
