Knit Your Square To Give Your Share - Part 3

In_Search_Of_Me

I'm here - been cutting fabric all morning (need 500+ patches for my quilt!!) and pottering! Lodger is away for w/end so feels quiet! Puss cat feeling better as playing but still not 100% on tummy front but that could be the anti biotics as well!! Shes been chasing fabrix, mice and anything she can lay her hands on!!

I'm here, but first chance I've had to pop in. Been doing some serious packing and cleaning prior to visit to sister. Will be taking some knitting with me, of course, and hopefully will have Internet access to keep in touch with you all.

Made it - at last. Due to last nights rotten storm we had no phone/broadband connections this morning so like ISOM I have been cutting out for AA. Just done, so soon as the DH gets the workroom knocked into shape I will be in sewing heaven.
I have a couple of patterns to make this afternoon and will make a start on the chooks too. Its rugby on TV so I need to keep myself occupied. Hope you have a good time with your sister Seakay. Will call in a bit later

Hi everyone.

Seakay - have a great time!

Jean - it's been really windy here and the rain has just started. DH has just gone out to get some more French plugs for all our UK electrical things. The continental adaptors we've been using are wearing out and driving me mad! He asked if I wanted to go with him but the thought of being dragged around yet another DIY store was not that appealing! Hope you're work room is finished soon.

Well, I've been sewing in the endds of my squares; not quite finished but will post photos when they're done. Then I shall take a break and make something else.

Anyway, hope you all cope with the bad weather they've been forecasting.

afternoon all, first chance i've had to come online all day, had to take a friend to hospital this morning, and stayed with her til her son could get there this afternoon.
ian keeps texting, asking if i fancy going shopping or anything next week, had to tell him no, and to stop texting me, feeling low again, like i've lost a good friend, cos he was a good friend some of the time, and i enjoyed his company some of time. feel a bit lost and alone, not even looking forward to summer, as ian always came on days out and holidays, and i'll be on me own with the lads.
time i stopped moaning and got some knitting done, thanks for lettign me off load everyone
hugs all

Helloe to one and all
Quiet on here today-- I think everyone must be busy clicking and hooking!!

Shaz - Sorry this is happening to you. Consider that Ian may just want to keep you dangling so that he can be horrible. Would your best friend treat you the way he did when you met up last. Someone who truly loves you ,loves you inspite of your so called faults. A soul mate would. Save yourself for someone who loves you for who you are not who they want you to be. Just a thought -- I should keep knitting!!

Well I hope everyone else os having a good Saturday and those with lovely plans hope they go smoothly.

All puppy bits done !!!! So having a break before sewing up !!

Has anyone else heard that some charities are turning down handcrafted toys because the stuffing may not be of certified standard? I am a bit worried by this because I would hate to waste time and materials if they are then going to be rejected and goodness knows where they end up.

So until I have been in touch with Lou or someone can help on here I am going to try some simple hand puppets which don't need stuffing.

I'll pop back later to see if anyone has any info-- Lots of love Linda
