Thankyou my dear sweet forum friends!

My ankles have decided they want to be balloons so yes, I will be taking care of myself. The last thing I want is to spend my last weeks of pregnancy in hospital due to high blood pressure!

Nicole I hope Jed was ok. How extensive was the damage?

Our header is heading for the scrap heap and we have quickly…[Read more]

Thanks mim22 for your condolences. The funeral will be on Thursday and then we can get back to normal.

Jennigirl I would LOVE to renovate! The laundry first then a much needed update to the bathroom. My poor boy’s bedroom drastically needs a makeover and as for the nursery! Well I think a fresh coat of paint will make it worthy of growing into.…[Read more]

I am half way through a little lisette 1893 in size 16 (whaaat?). Fabric is a black embroidered voile chosen by miss Imogen herself. I hope to complete it tomorrow afternoon / evening. That will leave a solid day of sewing Wednesday to try and get something else made.

I might have to try and locate something for Noah rtw.

I have had “personality clashes” with machines before! I feel your pain!

It sounds like your machine is suffering some sort of complex or disorder cybele. The sooner you get a “diagnosis” the better and then it can go to therapy and you can get sewing on something considered “sane” again. Yes! Take the deal and run, it seems like a good one.

Thanks ladies! I haven’t started the sewing yet. I pulled out the blue “love” fairytale dress last night to see if it would still fit but I was met with grumpy preteen sounds. Just trying to save time when it all seems to be rushing and there never seems to be enough time inbetween the millions of things that have to be done (even though…[Read more]

Sewing for a funeral. Just a top of some sort for me to go with the knit skirt I have already and I am hoping I get time to do something for the kids.

I hate funeral preparation the week is always so busy and I have had it with busy weeks full of interruptions.

I am very much looking forward to getting this sewing project over with so that we…[Read more]

Oh yes he did thanks Nicole. Who said it took a week? More like a day.

I spent the week running around after kids – 4and a half hours at the doctor’s waiting for my 10.30 am appointment just to get medication for a recurring cough. Then a trip to the hospital with the other one to get meds for an infection because we had no doctor available.

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”.

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]
