We have had such a wonderful time with the girls we took them all over the place, Stratford on Avon first it was a lovely day we walked by the river and watched the swans for a while, then wandered into the theatre an amazing building even went on the stage, only behind the curtain though. Then into the tourist barge for some info on places to go, then we wandered around the shops and it started raining so we dashed into MaccyD's for a happy meal and a wrap for grandad and me, we took the vouchers from the boxes and went W H Smiths for the £1 books, and some Simpsons Lego (they used some of their pocket money for that) then to finish the day off it was off to the ice cream barge for a 99 and a flake...what a perfect day...just one more thing to do...leave a calling card a little yellow duck, grandad found the perfect place for it, at the feet of Lady Macbeth, I looked online to see if it had been registered and it had so we were all well pleased.

OH has gone to snooker so I am off to watch TV and work on some crochet now I have almost filled a page with my ramblings
Love to you all Annie xx

good morning everybody..... " it's raining again Grandad��" seriously wet here but the garden needs it. We are off on our postponed trip later so hope it brightens up a bit. It's only an hour away. I am fighting with my conscience which says I should leave all my craftwork behind and be full of interesting conversation..... Ummmm ... Well it could be a long 24 hrs!!!!!

pippa so lovely to have had such a great time with the girls. I hope Mum is continuing to make good progress, if a little slowly.

jeanlove that book idea .... I love being friends on Facebook. It's great to keep up with your antics!! Also friends with Ginny , Kathy,Jacqui and Shaz from here. More FB friends are welcome as I find it impossible to post pictures on here.

ginnythat wreath is so amazing. You really are so talented.

f1talking of talents. You are now an official hooker. And well done on the Ice Bucket Challenge. Your hubby sounds lovely

kboss 2010. Great quilt and welcome to the group. Please pop back often.

Kathyhope mums makes are going well. I hope she is still fairly content with her life.. I do know you worry and totally send my love to you on that one.

dibuzzgreat that you are knitting with less pain and your makes are lovely.

I have been so saddened by the news of late. It's no good turning it off,looking away or pretending it's not there. I think the news is far too graphic these days but it is happening. Humanity seems thin on the ground even for innocent women and children. It breaks my heart.

So, I decided,especially after reading of 99 year old Lillian who is on her way to making 1000 dresses for girls in Africa to do something.

So, on my blog I have launched " share a shirt in September" you can read all about it from the link below.

So, cyber sisters if you would like to join in the fun please do. My machine is going to be whirring @1 can make a difference.Devon.me

Will be back late tomorrow after I have proved I can spend 24 hours with hook,needles or yarn !!!!!!!

Hi everyone!

It's Sue from 'SIBOL'.
Just popping in to tell you that we are still collecting Sunshine Blankets for the Elderly, Shawls, Butterflies and now I have invited Ladies to make warm hats, fingerless gloves, ordinary gloves, leg warmers, bed socks, scarves and bed jackets. Not cardigans and jumpers. (For Christmas Gifts this year).

So if you are sitting huddled to that fire now as the evenings are getting much colder and want to use that un-wanted stash up, please do think of us.

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Just got my Daughter back to work she fell down the bottom step and broke her ankle. Still on crutches but things are improving.

Thanks very much

Evening all,
Well I'm really loving Chalkys initiative with the shirts, so have asked the men in the house they have happily said they will find one each but then came the daft statement "cushions with sleeves" honestly I have no hope if anybody wants to send a sunshine boys, pampervan, magic carpet .... Would be much appreciated ! Xx

Also I'm hoping to start a SANDS tonight , oh and I wouldn't mind trying a mandala, I've seen some great paper things online ..... The list goes on , in the meantime h@@@@@@@k gets in the way

Mrs twins - sorry to hear about your daughters fall but pleased she is on the mend xx love the idea of warm gifts for elderly will pop it on my todo list xxx

Pippa - hope mum is doing well xx

Mrs m - how does the forthcoming end of holidays feel? Son wants to go back but I shall miss him xx

Well I've been told to use the bathroom early !!!! Thank you hubby so had better go
Sending lots of hugs to all especially poorly ones or those with poorly loved ones xxx

Not feeling too hot tonight after my my cousins funeral but popped on to thank you all for your kind comments on my wreath. Ds and wifey love it too so I can breathe now. Its amazing what you can make with bits and bobs - can you imagine how much it would have cost to buy???

Chalky will have a look at your blog in a minute, hope your wee break was good, the hotel looks fab.

Mrs Twins I have 4 blankets here almost ready to post, will get them off asap. Sorry about your daughters accident, hope alls well x
