I should add that I no longer know which days "bush market" is on, but the shops are always open.

I've been in agony since first thing monday morning with a kidney infection . I've been diabetic 10 years and it's only the second one i've had so not too bad. Most of the pain has gone today i just have a fever but it's getting better thank you .

I'm off to Birmingham city centre for a gig soon and wondered if I could combine a bit of fabric shopping at the same time. Does anyone know of any markets/fabric shops within walking distance? I normally use the modern collection from Clarke and Clarke (pastel dots and florals) and would also be interested in felts, haberdashery, etc, no saris or silks.

I used to work in Brum many moons ago and I vaguely remember an indoor market near the Chinese Quarter. Is that still there?

Hi all, just catching up a bit - thanks for your comments on my draught excluder. Turns out he does such a good job of stopping draughts though that the bathroom ceiling is starting to go a little ... black ... through lack of ventilation, so he's been moved and is now just an odd-looking sausage dog

ta da!! i finished my little Welcome Gnome wall hanging! i'm quite pleased with it, but dont look closely at the binding, ok?! i dont have time to write about it now, but if you're interested its all here, including where i got the free gnome pattern: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23rdspiral/5042430523/

This is fabulous I love it - some gorgeous fabric squares in there. I recently went for a mooch in The Cloth House in London - very very nice but not cheap sadly. I think there are a few fabric places on Berwick St actually, and it's not far from Liberty.

Look what I won on Ebay for the princely sum of £8.70.

No way! Amazing, how funny that the belt costs almost as much as the machine! You lucky thing!

Is anyone going to the Stitch & Knitting show at the Alexander Palace this weekend?? http://www.twistedthread.com/pages/exhibitions/viewExhibition.aspx?id=26&view=travel

My Mum is going to have the boys for me so I can go. However, I am currently not working so have to watch the pennies!

If you have a lot of time on your hand 23rd spiral, another idea for you (although tickets are £15)
