Smelly dog is now sulking - I usually have to do 'stealth bathing on him' as he detests the bath/water/hose etc.
perhaps he won't be so quick to go rolling in future - well for a week or two.

thirzah and dibuzzthank you for staying with us!

Well Doh is helping DD1's partner who is undergoing an EXTREME DIY project( do you remember ours 2 years ago?) same lad! So I have had a few quiet hours . Me,Archie and my sewing machine.

I had to get stuck into today. Dd1's partners mother was widowed aged 40+ a couple of years ago and of course has struggled enormously. She had some favourite shirts of her husbands left and a friend of hers suggested making them into bunting. What a brilliant idea, so of course,me and my new sewing machine were asked. It felt so strange to cut up the shirts. But, I have managed a row of 40 double sided pennants. It looks amazing. I have purposely left some of the shirt details on show. Pockets, buttonholes etc. And there was bough material over to make a patchwork cushion . So I am well chuffed that job is done.

Love to all MIAS.

AND HAPOY BIRTHDAY PFUNGI... We Miss you x x x

What a lovely thing to make with his shirts Chalky. By the way I have nearly finished Mrs Twins blankets, should be ready to post this week. Just the edging rows to do on 3 of them, one is finished completely xx

I spoke too soon Hubby came home late last night as he was cold and tired. We had to let him try and he was in good hands. When he rang I had to run and reconstruct his bed as I had stripped it and stood the mattress on its side to air

Its still flipping raining here

Thanks Ginny. I gave managed to make a cushion cover and draw string bag this morning from the remnants so that's that job done and dusted.

Now thinking of the weekend I have packed away the machine,hoooooovered around and set everything shipshape. That wing mast long though as a new idea us bound to pop into my head.

Just sending the gentlest thoughts to everyone with their hands overflowing at the moment. Xxx

CHALKY - I thought I was the only one that talked in slavers/tongues, but I see we have a cosmic connection ( I also have SAUSAGE FINGERS).

f1 - if you don't STRETCH your ability - you will never fit the knickers! ha ha (OK - try working that bit of logic out)

Loves and hugs to you all, I am crafting this afternoon so that I will have at least one thing to update come Sunday

Haha... Do you remember when I was awaiting that cataract op and every other word was wrong. Well I promise I do not need another.... rehtona I od ton deen!!!

That should have read that won't last long!!!

f1 theres a much easier purse further down the sidebar. Red and rectangular. If you can do a square you can do it. Promise x x x

Thanks for kind comments about shirty business .

Must take Archie woof out but have been tidying my craft cupboard. Doh has put new gas filled thingamugiggys on top cupboards so that I can use them. So all in all a bit more room available. And of course all William's arty bits away til next time

psso

Gas filled thingumygiggys for cupboards give you more space ?
