Evening ladies - i too have wondered how and where maytaurus is? Maytaurus if you are lurking we hope you are ok and thinking of you xxx

shelley - i love it!!!! thats the tatt not your hubby :rotfl::rotfl: glad i made at least one man happy today!!!! xx

fete was really lovely - it takes me back to being a child and being taken to allsorts of fetes by my family - NO wool on the white elephant stool hmmmm BUT i did win a jean paul gautier perfume set (wooo hooo) and a bottle of rose fizz!!! on the bottle stall so how about that and MIL brought a huge tea bread loaf which was delicious - DS was missing in action for two hours watching punch and judy and magic shows and we enjoyed a lovely pot of tea under the trees - it really was lovely and relaxing

DH's gran (ds's great gran! - 88 years old) has been teaching me to crochet this afternoon dont think im going to get bitten by that bug but i have to admit it grows quick !!!

pipsmum - i luuuurve hobbycraft - dont get to go much - i divide my time between card making isles and wool (although wool is a bit expensive) -glad you enjoyed it! xx

elaine - thinking of you and hubby - hope things are a little easier tonight xx


anyway i have been whittering - lovely to hear about the animals in france and how you are getting on jean and kathy xx - best go - baby hat number 4 on the go xx

Hi all,

This is rare for me to pop in this late, dh is on bedtime duties with ds's so i have a few minutes of peace,

Shelley - your tattoo is brilliant, I had one done years ago now and I've been meaning to get one done with ds's names too, just can't decide on a design.

Elaine - Hope things are better for you all soon, ((((big hugs))))

Kathy and Jean - I love hearing about all your goings on in France, it sounds heavenly with all the fields and animals running around. You'll have to sort your barns out so we can all come and visit, we'd need a ferry just for all our wool.:rotfl:

Maytaurus - Sending you ((((big hugs)))), I wish I could post lovely pictures like you do for all of us, hope you feel up to posting again soon, we all miss you.

Dpixie - I had an email from kemps too, I ordered some wool earlier in the week that was on offer and they got it too me so quick, I'm well impressed as not ordered from them before, but isn't it just sooooo tempting, all soft and fluffy, but any way getting too much of a stash now so will have to knit a bit quicker.:cool:

Night night all, I've waffled enough, see what happens when you get five minutes to yourself, it's not good for me, I'm sure.

Going now, promise.:Dxxx

THIS WEEKS TOTALS

25 ST pads/covers
3 Animal blankets

It should have been more I was trying out a Cat Cushion on the knitting machine and it came out far too small, so I will give that another go this afternoon and see what happens next time - I am getting ahead of the manual for the knitting machine so I was bound to come a cropper at some stage in the game - hey ho that's all part of the learning curve I suppose. Off to catch up with the postings on the forum then I believe a glass of something cool in the garden.

Thanks for all your totals. I'll be doing the update tomorrow morning, all being well.

LC Wilson - you've been really busy! I hope things are going as well as can be expected for you and your family.

Elaine - I hope your DH is doing well.

F1 - thanks for the amendment to the pattern. I'm knitting a bunting at the moment, and will try your crochet one next, so that was good timing!

Jean - 'my' cows are all flaked out in a circle in the field, with the babes in the middle. I don't know if that's what they intended, but it looks lovely. I find them so relaxing to look at. I think there are two still pregnant or, if not, they're the ones eating most of the grass!

We had a dull start to the day, then a mini-thunderstorm, then a few hours of mugginess, and now it's clear and sunny. I wish it would make up its mind! Don't faint but I've been helping DH to clear the barn - for a workshop for him, not a knitters' retreat; well, not yet, anyway. I've been moving 45gallon oil drums and planks of wood - difficult when he forgets that he is a foot taller than me! Still, most of it's been done and he's happily 'playing' in it now!

Anyway, must go and check on the dinner.

Hope you are all having a good Sunday.

KathyXX

Hope you are all well, am in the middle of another bunting and am going to give F1widow's bunting a try later on again as I couldn't get the hang of it when I last tried. Sig is correct.
