Sad news about Toots xxx

Chalky - just popped over to your blog and see you have landed "home", have been thinking of you xx

roamin - am sending a massive HUG xxxx

ginny - ooo waiting to see what your project is? hope your shoulder improves soon - thinking of you and the appts you have to come xxx

Mrs m - the bags are lovely you are making xxx

Have been so cold the last few days infact pretty YUK actually cant believe the temperature change has made me feel so bad - the joints are playing up already :mad: - it definitely is crafting weather or reading weather.

My friend and I were talking today about having a crafters "den" in our gardens - a place with a comfy chair, tea/coffee machine, bench with sewing machine (if Im gonna master it it needs to be out!), table to craft etc etc - I said I want to decorate mine with bunting and shelves with nice things that the "boys" would not be happy having in the house - oh well I can have a dream ............

Anyway had better get off and get the lasagne made for tea - hugs and warming thoughts to all xxxx

ive managed to put a photo in i can see it if i click on my name and look at my stats but i got the impression that other people could see each others on the forums in the space between the green/red circle and the amount of thanks. curious to see what other people have as theirs really

for example if i click on ginnys name and look at her personal profile she has a little photo of a dog tag with goth written on it but i thought it would appear by her name when she posts maybe ive got it wrong and you can only see them if you have a nose at profiles

roamin_in_the_gloamin

USERS CP - EDIT OPTIONS............ thread display options and tick the box next to AVATARS



and remember to hit the SAVE CHANGES at the very bottom of the screen

Just been and sorted me out - I was only half a body on the bike with the baguettes!

mrs-moneypenny

thank you one cleverest one.

psso

Oh my- I`ve learned something new today. Never knew you could have avatars, shows how much attention I pay to techy things-NOT.:o
I can now see pics under your names. Well some of them anyway...........

Jean, I thought that was an `Ingin Johnnie`(onion Johnnie for non Scots) on his bike. We used to have one came to our village every year when I was little. He lived / worked in a shed round the corner from our house and you could smell the onions in our back garden. He used to go all round the village selling the onions which were tied up in strings, I think he used raffia. Nowadays I understand gardeners tie them up in old tights, tying a knot between the onions. Very MSE.

Had a productive few days chez psso.
DS has cleaned the gutters and painted them,painted the front door AND cleared out the shed which involved several trips to the local tip.
Now he just needs to help me decorate the kitchen before Christmas - about 140 days to go then :rotfl:

Poor thing went back to work today for a rest.

Cracking on with the baby blanket for DD`s friend - pink and white. Just hope the sex scan is correct, might do one in blues just in case

On holiday from the evening job this week so more time for crafting and reading. Wish I could afford to retire but they keep shifting the goalposts and I won`t get old age pension till I reach 65 Bet they move `em again before that.

Just off to the shop, feel the need for some maltesers to nibble on while crocheting......thought keeping the hands busy stopped the naughty munching ?

Bye for now.

Pippa.S

Just taking a break from packing we are off to the caravan early in the morning, to get it settled and closed down for the winter. Hopefully the weather will be nice and dry so we can get the awning down and carpet and furniture stowed away, for another year.

sad news about Toots I remember seeing her round and about the forums.
Kathy - I hope your mums eyes are better now and all is well with the rest of the family, looks like you are taming that sewing machine must sort mine out one of these days and use up some of the fabric stash I have tucked away....

Well I better go and get some woolly stuff sorted to take to Devon with me... but if I happen to run out we can always take a trip to Trago Mills to re-stock...;)

Well I better go
I'm sending love and (((hugs))) to all and see you in 2 weeks. Ax
