    That's the alternative mabel, i could do that but i'd like to try out putting fabric and clay through the pasta machine together as it makes nice folds that hang like a dress would. If i manage to do it right :-)
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Ahhh I see Paula- hmmm have you tried Ebay for lace?I got some nice pieces from there although it was nylon so would melt, must be able to get cotton ( just twigged that you probably wrote cotton and it put bottom instead!)

    looking forward to seeing the new stuff Saucy !

    Think Ive just had an idea for another M word using one of the bits of fabric 2cats sent me :-)

    :wave: NLID I am planning on having another play later!! You have sooo much potential on your hands...you must be really excited!!!

    If this reaches its potential, I will be a very very happy man

    Unfortunately for you guys, I have a plan in place for this product which will make a massive difference to the whole ebay experience, not just selecting the products - but it will only get the 3-4 weeks worth of (Full time - 60+ hours a week) work to develop this software, but any project of that magnitude has to have a minimum amount of revenue to justify the time spent. At the moment I am speculating time in the hope it will generate the revenue - I hope this time next months Im looking back and saying good gamble lets add on the additional features.

    And god I hate Turbo Lister - spent ages this afternoon getting nowhere with it and am now cursing the thing!

  • Ooohh exciting! Is that website up yet? I only realized last night that I've got a few friends who do burlesque at events in Birmingham, I could pass it on if you like?

    Hi Paula, the wedding dress through the pasta machine sounds amazing. what about freecycle/ freegle for small bits of cotton lace.
    I've had such a lovely day today that I could quite easily cry. does that sound silly? what a difference a bit of sun makes. This is perfect weather for me. warm enough to be out and about without coats and not so hot that you melt and have to smother everyone in suncream. Its so relaxing to feel some warmth and a nice light breeze.
    anyway thats enough weather wittering from me.

    Not silly at all Jo, i think i know exactly what you mean and feel the same - simple days outdoors with sunshine are the best. I've been on the beach throwing small pebbles into the sea with my nephew, there's nothing better.
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    Saucy - I'm glad you are going to go and see what its like. and taking one of your own notebooks is such a cool idea.

    also on the idea of drinks you could get some cheap lolly molds and make yourself some refreshing lollies from fresh fruit juice.
