Hi all :j
esmer - my buttons will be posted next delivery -thanks for that link:T (need ideas of loads of stuff to do with buttons now.............lol:rotfl:)

My friend just phoned -so thrilled with all the stuff I'd made her -really inspires me to make more when someone is so delighted. Do need fresh ideas though........something I've not done other years otherwise everyone will be having much the same...........lol:rotfl:

Nurse rang to see how OH is getting on with his injections -he's doing ok though hates doing them. She says once his scan results are through (not had scan appt through yet) he might well be on warfarin for the rest of his life :eek: eek !!
Jan already full of medical appts.........!
Working on principal that we're likely to be a bit skint so pressies will be cheaper than this year (if poss)

Hi all

Mary, have you ever tried Japanese quilting? There's a pattern I know which takes minutes to make and you end up with a complete quilted square (stitched through wadding etc).

Can be used as a coaster, or add 2 more squares and a nice toggle or button and it can be a small bag. Make more squares and make it into whatever you want.

Esmer what's happening with DD now?

Sales.....................DONE!

I may never be able to move my arms again though! LOL!

Whats Japanese quilting, sounds easy

Natasha is tired, hot and grumpy...... and if she has a flu, probably sore too. I'm keeping her temp down with calpol and nurofen. Mum came down to watch her for me, so I could get to Mr Ts and get more calpol and nurofen and some other bits and bobs.

Natasha is sleeping next to me on the couch. been sleeping for over an hour now. I need to go and clean up

Hope you are all well x

Angela - thanks............have to look that up. Still got load of freebie fabric samples waiting to be used for something.

esmer -hope Natasha feels better soon ((((:o))))

Hi all

It's worrying when a child has that kind of illness, hope things improve soon.

I'll put a link on the 2011 thread for instructions to make that Japanese all in one square when I get a chance to look through my bookmarks. It takes a couple of minutes from cutting it out to the finished product. So definitely work a go.

Not a great night temp shot upto 38.9 I have got it down to 38.1 with window open, just a cotton sheet and nurofen. She is sleeping now and I'm like a hawk. Her temp was a constant 37.5 today, hi for dd but that was manageable! 2 hrs after going to sleep and it's shot up.

Will let you know how she is x

Thanks. Been a battle all night! No sleep. Her temp has gone down at last. Just going to keep up with the meds, but not any better later, will take her to a&e she might need an antibiotic. Good news is, it's been raining here, so snow nearly all gone.
