    This can be great fun.
    The person who finishes the limerick starts the next one.
    Lets see if this takes off….

    Here we go 🙂
    I have so many patterns already….

  • Nicole replied to the topic Divided by a common language in the forum off topic 11 years ago

    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.

    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]

    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.

  • Wow! Too cold for the coat! That would be an experience we here never have! Ususally it is too warm for the coat!

    I am up to sewing – yay! Done the front bodices and the back and am in the middle of sewing the hood, just got to trim. Then topstitching and applying the extra bits and pieces.

    My aim is to get through the vast majority today – and…[Read more]

    I love the new format but it takes a long time to load, longer then Flickr.

    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.

    Nicole has said Tildy is a dag, I think it means cute/funny — she was doing a cute pose in a photo. I’m not sure if it’s something you call your own kid, but it would be too familiar to call somebody else’s kid a dag? Can it apply to animals or nonliving objects?

    And what are maccas?
