Quiet day at work, yippee.

skippie1 - 2012-12-28 17:49:00

Ok girls i need some help...i am looking for specialty prints/designs on fabric and have found 'thumpercats' on tm...does anyone know of any more please?

grizzvk - 2012-12-28 18:22:00

sorry Grizz not sure what you want to know, Thumpacat has a web site as well as in trademe is that what you mean you want web sites ?
otherwise click in quilting / fabrics and then either gallery or look through the listings.

coalrange1 - 2012-12-28 18:50:00

Grizz I will happily look through my stash if there is a particular print or design you are after and I dont live far from a fabric shop if you want me to check it out for you.
Another grey and murky day here in Chch, I wish summer would come back. I have had a bit of fun with some bright fabrics and a mod design making a mug rug today. I will show you wnen it's done:o)

hmm still the wrong one, click into the above go to miscellaneous down the left side and in there is a retro dress pattern fabric about 1/2 way down page

coalrange1 - 2012-12-28 20:09:00

ta Coaly i love the red roses hmmm lots to think about..got our local shop to revisit then i will make a decision.

grizzvk - 2012-12-28 20:38:00

Helloooooo. How are you all? Grizz sounds busy...I rea d a book today as well as going shopping with the girls and guess who bought nothing? My own fair and luscious self would be that one. Are you impressed? Shopping on the web doesn't count, right?
Grizz...have you ever bought off shore? Good bargains to be had as long as you are not in any hurry for them. The prices are soooo good. I only ever buy sale items and get fabric for as little as $4 a metre.
Skippie and Dilli...the sooner you try flounder the happier you will be. It has a lovely mild white flesh and is sweet and tender.... Ooooh almost orgasmic!
Coalie what have you done to muttley? We haven't seen him since...I think he is still running, poor man!
Not much more happening here. Home on Sunday.

jumbobon - 2012-12-28 21:14:00

coalrange1 - 2012-12-28 21:50:00

Maybe muttley has gone floundering. He might want to put another smile on jumbo's face seeing as flounder has some therapeutic benefits

wee5 - 2012-12-28 22:01:00

Less than half the New Zealand price...and that's jfrom the emporium! Yay!!have a grrrreat day!

grizzvk - 2012-12-29 12:06:00

Ooh Dilli...a uniform! Have you checked grizz's gender??! I will use the zips for little purses, for shutting people's gobs who say things about chastity belts, for sealing fabric envelopes in a pretendy sealy way, for garnishing salads, for riding to town on when I run out of petrol, for tying together for escaping from prison....and on the list goes. Watch your back wee!!

jumbobon - 2012-12-29 12:54:00

LMAO oh Jumbo keep them coming especially for shutting peoples gobs with hehehaha...and Grizz's gender is all girl thankyou very much! brought me some zips yesters too jumbo BON...is that ya surname?
