Thanks so much for breakfast. I'm off to the gym this morning...I can't believe I am writing that! It's really good though...low key...in fact the exercise session is more of a warm down, so I want to get on the treadmill first! Have a great day!!

Cloth doll bodies, fancy scissors stencis....... I have my stashes in a corner of the kitchen and most of the laundry. Well, who else is going to go in there, right? Hubby has got me filing cabinets, but I know it' time for a sad farewell when the family starts tripping over things.

Welcome henryssix we all have our stashes mine are in the garage sewing room and dining room. Far to much that I will never all use but I just love buying fabric.
Op shopping today and I only bought 3 pieces of fabric honest. and some more laces.
Time for some relaxing now
so I shall go and enjoy my coffee.
Can I invite myself to dinna somewhere that way I wouldn't need to cook for myself heheheheheheeeee

Thanks for the great welcome dilligaf_dah. I have two sugars with mine. I am having a bit of a clean out at the moment, cause it's too much, even for me. But I went out today and ended up (of course) in an op shop. I LOVE journaling, so bought a few bits for that. Did I mention I am also a bibliophile. So three more books have made their way home. The only places that are literally (excuse the pun) book free in our house are the bathroom and loo. For some strange reason hubby gets a bit upset when I say I am going to sell my books. Anyway, they have stood us in good stead as the kids go through school. So have my craft stashes. If the kids want something for a project, be it paper or material related, mum always has something they can use. Has saved us a heap of money(?). Love that poem too. Will copy it out and give it to my mum. She is another crafter/opshopper, with wool, and she knits lampshades, cushions, bags and even vase holders, which don't look as weird as they sound. Time to have an artist date and go through my stash. For some reason, I really can't stand that word. Well, jugs on at mine if anyone wants a nightcap.

Carolev, I had to go back and check that photo three times before I saw your "boo boo" .... So I don't think it matters at all :)
Welcome henryssix ... What poem do you love?
I have been busy today .... I needed a small ironing table to go right next to my sewing table so that I didn't need to move every few seconds to iron when making crumbs. Will post a before and after pic in few minutes

Oh henry just saw yu are from Auckland wow youd have a lot of op shops there. I used to have five 5foot long up to ceiling book shelves full of books and I did get rid of most of them when I went into my grannie flat. Now have about 50 books left. So I did really well. I also got rid of a garage full of fabric over 50 large black rubbish bags were sold plus about 60/70 boxes of fabric. I kept just what I though I would use now heheheeee still far too much and it is very fertile (my fabric piles) they just keep reproducing more offspring. heheheheheeeee
Thanks for the coffeeeeezzzzzzzz I always have 2 black weak ones though with sweetners in them.
Ok Time for me to put my jug on and go and watch a little tv.
Have agreat nite all.

Hi everyone. Not a good day weatherwise today. I'm glad to see we can say pissing here. That's what we had on and off today as well as great gales. I hail from Wellington, and used the ropes between the lamp posts. Oh hell, just showed my age. Still not used to the wind though. It makes me angry when I'm trying to hang out washing. But at least if I hang it out, it will be with my mum in Wellington for ironing. Thank you to all those wonderful people for your warm welcomes. I was saying to my kids that I can see how facebook can be so addictive. But I prefer this site, as it is monitored for abuse etc, and there are a lot more friendly, like-minded people. Went to the $2 Shop today and got some double-sided tape. Oh joy of joys. I love the stuff. A bit of over excitement there. Not much else is happening here at the moment except discussion and a trusty cup of coffee and watching and strolling through sites. It's always fun to find something totally obscure on here. Everyone have a good night and keep safe if you have to go anywhere. Time for another cup.

hello Henry , been cold and wet here with the odd patch of sun shine, been match on tonight hope weather holds for it,

Well I have had a most interesting day. Up with the sparrows to help with a garage sale ...wasn't too hard as I don't think I actually went to sleep last night. Then a long walk with a friend and spent the afternoon sewing.... Making a reversible apron for a daughter's birthday gift later this month. Then I went to watch my nearly 40 year old daughter in her first roller derby event. Who would have thought I would get so excited about seeing a group of women pushing and shoving each other. It's certainly not what I would call a genteel sport for the ladies .... Very fast and I suspect the players have heaps of bruises.
And last, but not least, just enjoyed roast beef cooked in crockpot. Delicious ... And the gravy was to die for!

And hello again from me. We went to a funeral this morning...then a couple of mates came around for a cuppa. We ended up going out for tea...except muttley stayed home to watch his telly...he bought Thai food for himself. Us girls had a fun night out and we are going to the shops tomorrow so I'd best get some shut eye eh? See you in the morning!

hello lovely ladies,
yes I have been awol again. Don't go on my computer much these days.
I have finally got my hand stitched quilt out and have done quite a bit on it now, but, I have to confess..... I cheated a little and did some machine stitch in the ditch on it otherwise I will still be here in 10 years time hand stitching it. I have kept all the picture blocks hand stitched though.
still do my crocheting and have nearly finished my pink n purple one blanket.
Loving out new house and have settled well, been here nearly 2 months now, hard to believe. My baby boy is 13 tomorrow and he is so excited.
Time for a cupa tea, sorry no biscuits baking not been done !!
