Thanks Nicole! And Sarvi, I think you may know me too well;)

A few years ago I made fleece slipper socks for everyone in our extended family. The men and boys loved them and have asked frequently since then if they can have a new pair.

I bought the pattern at Joanns but it can also be purchased online here. They’re the Polar Socks for adults and kids.

@admin, you can tell I have been hanging out with a Canadian. 🙂

I wish I could sew but can not

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]

@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]

@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 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]
