Good morning everybody and lots of love tucked in.
I think Pippa is so soon home so I hope this grey rain disappears before then!

Ginny I hope things go smoothly for you and your Dh this week. I think waiting for results is a terrible time.

Kathy lots of gentle thoughts for your family.

jeanhas that cold packed its bags yet and is your kitchen finished yet.? Is your Doh UK bound with all the Christmas stuff soon?

We seem to have been thin on the ground with Christmas ideas this year. Remember the wristwarmers and ruffle scarves?

Mrs Moneypennyhow is the Christmas Fayre preparations going?

F1 hope all ok.

Shaz have a good rest x

So many people to think of xx

Well my eye is beginning to feel like it is the right size again which is a relief. Typo getting better too I think.

I am busy with a bright Chevron blanket just now as we have a new Great niece or nephew on the way in the new year,

Hope to hear from some of the Mia's soon.

re christmas fayre, im thinking i need to make some more keyrings and little bits as im not convinced i have enough. its catch 22 isnt it i could spend every day making things and then be left with loads or i could sell out quickly and have an empty stalll early. im not going to make it to the beginning of the fayre as we dont pick DD1 up from trampoling till the fayre starts so im goping to be about an hour late getting there will possibly miss the first rush but ill still have fresh stuff when people are coming round later. ive got some big flat open boxes that im going to arrange the stuff in to take so if its busy when we first get there i can just put the open boxes direct on the table and sell from those till i get time to set out properly, that way i can stick labels on the ends of the boxes with detaills prices etc on.
last year i took a christmas tree and little wicker backets for things but people didnt seem to want to take from those. and i made loads of mmagic reindeer food but none sold. i think the kids there were too old so i ended up giving all of it away either to houses with children in the street and the rest to the local primary for their 4+ class.
i think im panicing over nothing because DS2 wont be there to help becase after all whatever i make is funds the school wouldnt have had.

glad your eye is returning to feeling like normal size. dont do too much will you you need to be resting.

Mrs MP am posting you parcel tomorrow, octopus's or is it octopi? 10 weather worms and a few crochet balls. Hope it all helps x

fell over the cat earlier and dont want to take my boot off! still I can sit and knit/sew/crochet

I have no flippin idea what to make this Christmas chalky, crocheting a throw for Mum that she asked for, she should have a laugh co she got my the wool from her CS :rotfl: Scarf for son, wrist warmers for Dd and jumper for my darling DGS. Need something very fashionable and simple for Sis in law, cos thats what she wants to be and really is ... fashionable and simple Other than that just messing about with patterns. xx glad your eye is getting better hugs ginny

mrs-moneypenny

ouch Ginny hope you are alright, is the cat ok?
put your feet up and perhaps have a nice soak in the bath later.

thank you its very kind of you to help the school out with things.

CHALKY - Kitchen - was all finished on Monday the 8th OCTOBER ....SIL and her Beau rolled up for lunch on the Tuesday 9th October BRING ME THIS ROTTEN COLD........I have a jolly good mind to not let her come back again as I am STILL coughing and spluttering, still it isnt life threatening so I will just have to get on with it.
Yep DH is off the the UK next week on his annual trip to visit his family - he is also visiting some of mine so I must make sure I finish the C shopping this week YUK YUK YUK.....
I have just finished a dozen little sparkly pink/silver butterflies to go on the memory blanket for April Jones (LH WELSH TAFIA ladies are cobbling it together). I can't find my mojo anywhere, I have managed about a hundred snowpeeps in total but I can't count them towards anything - I only stuffed about 50 sent the rest FLATPACK! I have about another 30 to go for the local school and that will be me.
I have a notion to make a lovely thick jumper - similar to the christmas themed one that your baby William had on ONLY big enough for DS....there again perhaps he would prefer a raindeer or a santa....oh decisions, decisions - at least they can be knocked up on the knitting machine in a couple of days, so perhaps when DH leaves I will get the impetus to get stuck in.
Love and cuddles to everyone, I do hope you are all saving yourselves for the festivities of next month. You never know I might have shaken this cold off by then!

Hello all Ive been away for a few days again and Im so dizzy at the moment so for all those I dont mention Im sending much love and hugs and lots of thoughts tucked in too xxxx

chalky - have pmd you xx

You are right not much christmas bits made from me this year - it came upon me so quick had all good intentions in January .... Ive made so far a frilly scarf for mum, angel charms for Mum and sisters (as they all have the charm bracelets - pandora/Thomas sabo (other makes are available tee hee)) and a few other bits and bobs ...

mrs m - oh phooey should have made more for you - will start earlier next year ....... ask me in January so by October I might be with it :rotfl: xx

kathy - am hoping you are well - am so sorry to hear news of BIL - hope Mum is ok and you of course xxx

ginny - was it you or psso that was gyny visiting? - if you I hope you got on well and obviously are waiting anxiously with lots of prayers for OH's news xx

psso- if it was you that went to gyny hope you got on ok??? I think you were suffering with a cold last I saw hope you are feeling better soon xx

and finally
roamin - am on my way with Lemsip, etc will only be requiring to stay until after New Year :rotfl: could you cope with me until then - I promise to do all tidying etc and let you be a lady a leisure in your sewing room in return for a stay with you and look after you ............. xx
(I should admit at this point that MIL & FIL are coming for christmas :eek::eek::eek: have invited themselves and i seriously need an immediate cure for my agoraphobia and collywobbles so I can go in opposite direction) xxxxxx

Isom, mrscd, sock-knitter, pippa,k2tog (lovely to see you the other week on here x), maytaurus (still think of you and hope you are well), mrs twins, and any others my fuzzy brain cant remember - special thoughts and lots of love and a big hug too xxx

I dont know where time goes - cant even say whether ive been doing anything really - have knitted quite a lot and been spending ages on puter looking up lots of bargains for christmas - comparing lots of sites etc and getting ideas - its amazing how much you save if you do shop around, plough in any vouchers or club points etc but boy it takes hours - is this just me or have anyone else found this ..... ?
Have also been doing lots of "home work" as part of my therapy
OH has had his anesthetic assessment today ready for nose op on 3rd December fingers crossed that they dont cancel it for third time
Anyway am off to have a quick scoot round ebay - love to all look after yourselves and hope all those suffering will be feeling better soon x

Mrs_Twins

Chalky so pleased the op went well for you!
Love and best wishes Sue

Ginnyknit, sorry I'm late replying Should be a mail in your box.
Love Suex

MrsCD

Ginny hope the foot is a bit better in the morning. It's a good reason to sit with your foot propped up and do some knitting! Have you seen the can can type of wool that you knit into the edge and it makes a frilly scarf? Would your Sil like one of those? They knit up really quickly - I've made a few for shoeboxes this year.

Hope everyone else is feeling better soon.
