    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.

    Swimsuit or bathing suit for swimming, crayons for coloring, and I think I’ll avoid saying ‘dag’ until I’ve spotted it in the wild a few more times, I don’t want to inadvertently offend.

    It’s interesting the way meanings change over time, too. Both geek and punk were once things you’d never want to call yourself.

    Nearly finished Trixie’s Bubble dress.
    It is so cute it should be compulsory sewing.

  • Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 11 years ago

    I finished Trixie’s Bubble dress up to hand sewing the bodice and buttons/buttonholes. Hugo was studying for exams so her nursed *held* her so I could get stuck in.
    I couldn’t finish the sewing as the house was filling with insects. I have no idea how they all got in but they were going for the lights. So annoying as Jed was reaping until 1:30 and…[Read more]

    Justine is spot on with dag.
    The dress style of ‘daggy’ is less complimentary, ‘dag’ is more affectionate.

    A true dag is a product of sheep waste and wool, don’t google image it.

    Crayon here.

    We now regularly use ‘amaze balls’ and ‘awesome sauce’ in our current vernacular. We call them ‘britterism’s’ from the awesome Brittney.
