Happy Birthday Mambury_party_

See you all tomorrow

TH X

Ahh TH - i hope you feel better soon, the procedure sounds horrid to bring on cramps. I suffered from IBS a while back and found that peppermint tea helped x

Munchki - i have no idea on blankets sorry - i'd like to buy a wizard of oz one but i know that won't reflect popular tastes. I also like owls, and flowers and little birds, stars, trees, bubbles... i'm not sure that's very helpful though as i have unconventional tastes. I'd like a blanket to look yummy and snuggly covered with things that i love. It'd be for snuggling though and not for display lol

munchki

Em, that is exactly what I wanted to hear, your personal preferences lol!!!

big flowers, tiny flowers, what type of backgrounds? I have found retro, and flowerfaerie fabric, have found some amazing tattoo art fabric and stacks of animals and birds lol

Now just need to take the plunge and buy two or three or a few more lol, to start with!!

Evening all - my evening has not gone according to plan lol, but I'm going to go have a fly with a black bag in the bedroom shortly and that'll make me feel better for having done nothing so far lol.

Munchki, I love flowers, something really kitsch and old fashioned, stars, faeries, stripes, anything with lots of wonderful colour! There, that's my tuppenceworth and it didn't hurt!

Mabel - pml @ the Kim & Aggie comment - but you're possibly not too far off the mark!!!

Had a lovely day apart from the kids bickering and whingeing, but heyho thats par for the course!! Still, I'm doing a swap with the sister in law this week. I have her two tomorrow and she has both of mine on Friday so I am going to have my hair done. Now all I need to do is decide on a haircut!! Do I go short, or keep it a bit longer??? hmmmm!

Thank you for all my birthday wishes..... I have ablosulty no mney making today whatsoever...well, apart from the few ebay sales that came in by themselves!! I shall get back to work tomorrow....

Munchki - I love fabric and I lean towards japenuse charachter stuff, kitsch and retro and my fave fabric designer is Alexander Henry.... I could cover my whole house and wardrobe in those designs.....

Just a few links for sites I like (never ordered so can't help there, but I do like to drool!)

Munchki, I have loads of links saved if you want any of them, just let me know.

Hi all :-) Munchki can you PM me your linkedin addy please? :-) As for fabric,hate velvet (just feels icky to me) like swirly type designs, black/ turquoise/brown , stars and moons, some florals but not too kitschy. Tattoo art fabric sounds fab

Welcome back Evenstar we missed you hope you are Ok

Hi TH-I have IBS and its bloody painful so you have my sympathies, i tended to get it more when I was due on so the doc changed my pill and now I dont have periods (sorry for too much info!) and therefore less IBS.Also save a fortune on 'womens things!'

Made my £1 today by buying OH's mum some milk whilst i was shopping and she gave me a fiver instead of the £4 and wouldnt take any change yay!

EMminently

Wow I LOVE all those fabrics too - thanks for sharing those links Mambury x

munchki

thank you thank you thank you.........all wonderful thoughts.......I am having a blast searching for fabrics, I love the feel and shimmer of some oriental ones, and the retro and days gone by feeling I get from others. I so miss sewing and creating and can hardly wait to get started again!!

Think what I might do is buy 1.5 metres of a 4 or 5 and then a co-ordinating back for each and have a stab at them to just get a feel. Also going to work on a rather special one and play around with some beading and perhaps a bit of 3d stitching by hand.......oh I can see time slipping away quickly from me now lol xx

I would love one munchki but with two dogs think it might get chewed :-( perhaps when puppy grows out of the chewing stage then i will be placing an order

Yay my website is fixed btw woo-hoo and I have an idea for another piece of jewellery, is taking a bit of construction tho already have 5 prototypes on the table!

munchki

doubt puppy would chew but thanks for the added motivation.....

I just found the coolest fabric with all different choccies on it heheheheh
