Hi all
Just popping in for a quick chat and catch up

May - nice to see you back, hope you and your family will be on the road to recovery soon,:A
Kathy - love the flowers they really set the gloves off,
mrs.m - love the hedgie story, he sounds sooo cute, glad he is ok now
pol - that scarf pattern looks so easy I might have a bash at that (something else for the ever growing list):rolleyes:
Shelley - the stall sounds like a success, well done
kinsey - bat, what bat....golf bat, cricket bat, flying bat??? sounds interesting
Ladykath - SNAP, I've done two-tone ruffle and mitts in green as well, there's a pic on here somewhere of the ruffle.
Pam - :T on the stall total
k2tog - onlygirl - my tree will look the same I expect, when the girls have finished with it, they will be coming up soon :j
salome - sounds like you had a great time on your"photo shoot" but :eek: what a lot they cost for the whole collection.
Hello and welcome knithappens you will love it in here, but be warned they are all mad as hatters, excluding me of course :rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I have been 'ruffling and mitting' like mad have done a pink set for DGD1, and DGD2 said her favourite colour is cheese....:rolleyes: so I guess that means yellow, so I picked up a ball from Wilkinsons for 97p Should get that done tonight. I have also done a longer one for a friend in an aubergine colour, I am really tempted to keep it and do her another one

Have done a couple of Hedgies, 1 for MIL and 1 for sis, still have'nt started the Pampas chunky cardies for DGD's so better get cracking or they won't be done.

Off for a :coffee:now back later

Thought I would just add a funny which has made me believe the innocence of children has not died

my old neighbour knows a little girl round corner she tells my friend "oooh Im in the play at school and Im a cornflake"

next day she said she had it wrong and it was just a plain flake .......

My friend asked was she sure it was not a snowflake to which the little girl said oh yes you could be right .......

Ive been laughing about that for days ........:rotfl: Little things please little minds

ps anne - dgd2 favourite colour cheese ........ loved it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:- which variety :rotfl:??????

shazrobo

i love hearing what the kids have said, love the cheese colour, and the cornflake lol
my ds 14 was asked by the careers teacher what he wanted to be when he left school, he answered seven foot tall:rotfl:

Great news about your new teeth Jaqui :beer:
Well done Mrs MP and DS for your rescue mission - there are so many hedgie rescue places around that I reckon they must have a special knack for getting themselves into a pickle.
Well done on your fete Pam - should buy lots of little treats.
Hello May :hello: hope you're taking it easy.
Salome it sounds like you are a very effective knitting recruiter and I think knitting and crochet are good things to be able to share. It is so much easier to show someone what to do than tell them. I can never explain myself in a logical fashion in type! Need to get on with (what else?) a ruffle scarf so here's to them and trees with more tinsel than tree :beer: enjoy the DGDs decorating Pippa!

these http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=260496.0 are so addictive
i have already done myself a set and a pair for the next craft fair.Also had to make my daughter who is 6 a pair, so i had to change the pattern a bit, i will get a pic tomorrow with her wearing them

**MONTY AND TYLER TAKE THE TOP ROAD** on the Help for Heroes website



‘... true story of a horse named Monty and his canine friend, Tyler.
Monty, a beautiful Dales Cross Cob, and Tyler, a pedigree black Labrador, achieved 'fame' in the media in the summer of 2005 due to a special and unusual skill they mastered.
The story, told through the eyes of the dog, Tyler, demonstrates a tender and trusting bond between the animals, as well as the patience of their fun-loving owner Sarah
Monty and Tyler were the beloved pets of Corporal Sarah Louise Bryant (N!e Feely), a soldier of the Intelligence Corps of the British Army, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on 17th June, 2008
