Ah, I see we have a Limerick newbie who’s not familiar with the form. Here’s a sciencey example:

There once was a young lady named bright
Whose speed was much faster than light
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

So ours above should go:

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and…[Read more]

Hey, I’m a Keymaster?!? What the heck is that?!?

HAHA! That is hilarious! I remember having a hard time when I first went to London trying to get some uneaten food packed up at a restaurant. I asked to have it to go, then asked for carry out. I was down to miming that I wanted to eat the food I had paid for at another time and location and did not want to simply dump it into a napkin. Finally an…[Read more]

Thank you all for your feedback! And thank you Admin and Todd for all your hard work getting the little bugs worked out. I know this is going to be great!

@dubhels2003 – you’ve just reminded me of a funny story that happened to my brother – he and his girlfriend were backpacking around England – it was freezing, so they went into a shop selling clothes/woolly things and asked for a ‘beanie’ – the little old lady was most taken aback and insisted they had the wrong shop, and they needed one further…[Read more]

We used to call what you call those (lemonade with icecream) spiders. Don’t ask me why.

When I was in the UK at age 8 we would buy sweets (we call them lollies) and pop was any fizzy drink.

Just to twist the words further, we get the “dags” off when we crutch sheep! My mum used to refer to loose threads hanging off a seam as “daggy bits”.

@admin, I am sorry, you are doing a lovely job.

I used to do limericks with an international chum and the results were so funny.
I would rhyme llama with banana, for example.

I should start a thread here…..

I will, and see if anyone plays along.

I did get some sewing time in this week – a Bess dress & a tee for me, but aren’t feeling the vibe today.

As for Christmas sewing – I don’t have much planned, but I do want to make up some tote bags for teachers’ presents (although no biggie if I fail on this – they all get a tin full of caramel slice and one of my mum’s gorgeous felt Xmas…[Read more]

Heidi, you are kind, you remind of an Aunt of mine who never wed. She made us the most amazing gifts, we adored her.

My go-to teen boy gift is a shoe bag, like the drawstring bag in the LTTS book (I know you have that). I also like to pop a small pack of wet ones and some Scuff Stuff shoe polish in it.

Voila, a travellers shoe cleaning kit.

Christmas sewing?? I haven’t even thought of Christmas sewing! I am still sewing for baby and squeezing in a few things for the big kids. I have a funeral to sew for soon which even though it is the most morbid of events to sew for I really need to start on, just in case it is all in a rush!

I will have to give Christmas sewing a miss this year I…[Read more]
