Evening everyone :T.

I voted for mel again today at work - can i sneak another one in tomorrow or will it be too late .

Hugs to everyone who needs them - feel so sorry for everyone who is having a bad time at the mo - illness in one form or another seems to be giving everyone so much pain so more hugs.

I tried to be a good bear and list some stuff on eBay tonight but I can't get the b!!!!! pics on - so will try and do a sneaky at work tomorrow - don't understand why I can't get on MSE but I can sell stuff on eBay .

Got another bag order today :j I have 1 done 1 to stitch up and 4 more to make and I'm half way up a scarf as I got fed up with fluffy stuff last night.

Back to my needles

Paddington those orders are really flying in now! Well done!! sounds like you have been really busy so don't wory about the ebay stuff..it can wait.. you put us all to shame!!

Jammy I love working 6x12 and have been making one page every day for a year now, sort of like a diary, to record those little things that are so special to us but I forget. I got sidetracked and stopped but wanted to start back up again this week so I can glatingly bind my wad of memories together at chrtistmas. The Shimelle class looks really great and I hope you get on well with it. I love her christmas one (as you know). Shimelle is a lovely lady, if you ever need any advice or want to know what submittals are open at Scrapbook Inspirations, PM her on UKS or send her an email. I have got her details if you want them, seriously she is so kind and loves cupcakes, I sent her the cutest little pottery cupcake to say thank you for everything she did for me.

God I ramble.

I think the competition ends tomorrow night. I hope one of you wins the blog candy.. would be SOOOo cool!!!

Thanks PLM - I am making up my own class with a mix of Shimelle's free ones. I can't wait for a big class to come out from her. I think you should run your own Shimelle-esque classes, longer than a page. You would be superb at it

Thanks plm - I need the space in the spare room to store my selection of fluffy wool rather than piles of stuff to eBay :rotfl:. It's in the biggest size shopping bag from home bargains at the mo but I got some real bargains on ebay over the weekend so have another 14 balls to [STRIKE]hide from OH[/STRIKE] get in there .

Am just glad that I didn't bid on the 19 ball lot or he would have gone spare .

Thanks a lot Jammy, you have great taste so that means a lot coming from you. She has just recentely been signed up as a garden girl at two peas so she has been really strained lately, spreading herself too thinly. A few people have been complaining that her classes haven't been received the love and care she used to show. I think you might find some cool things over there or you could mail her and ask what she has planned xx

Yeh but c'mon.. you are running a very sucessful handbag business here!! I think that you are onto something and perhaps you should knit a whole load and have a christmas fare? There are two people on here looking for purses as gifts.. who knows how many could be for christmas :T

Now there's an idea - my bestest customer rusty is first in the queue for the xmas purchases as organised as ever .

there's some fabulous fluffy wool with ribbons upstairs that I'm itching to have a go with and I found some gorgeous Primani handles this morning (was only 2 minutes late for work :rotfl:)

Whinging update:

My poor oul' grandmother's back on oxygen, there's no bed elsewhere at the moment but they're looking, and my mother has been feeding her her lunch as the nurses claim to be too busy. Apparently, what they're actually doing is mostly hanging out in the nurses' station drinking tea while call bells go unanswered.

I know people need breaks, and I know nurses work hard, but it's logical for everyone not to have a break at once when your job involves a roomful of seriously ill people who can't do anything for themselves.

I do hope everything goes ok with Gran, just so sorry u are so away, but glad thats mums there. U take care, uve got junior to look after as well. xx
