I got so annoyed with a garage I bought a car off once (had to go back 4 times about the same thing), that I ripped their sticker off the back window, cut the advertisement bit off the tax disc holder and took their keyring off my keys.

I left them on the passenger seat the fourth time I went back. They were gone when I collected my car

:T :rotfl: that's gutsy! (i'm glad they did sort your car and not do something mean in return!)

Hi there everyone.

Please can I come and play? I have so many UFO's it's unreal at the minute but trying to work through them as there's a couple of charts I want to start but I'm really trying to hold myself back.

I am working on a sampler tonight that I have put together myself and resembles lots of things from our family, I am so proud of it but teh border is taking ages, I will try and post a pic up soon

My April Challenge

I found this old kit lurking at the bottom of my stash trunk:

It's more "abstract" than I would usually sew but I'm enjoying it.

oh no! oh dear.

Keiss - i hope you're tooth/mouth feels better soon. i can't believe they removed a canine! i guess better out than in though. i'm inbetween treatments with a tempoary fix. i dont like dentists much.:(

Louise / erm, i forget, sorry i'm dashing.. some one nudged me a gorjuss chart but i cant remember which one. and my puter is up the spout at the moment. i'd love the books one though if it's possible?;) it's very apt for both myself and a friend.

Hiya, I've just uploaded a couple of pics of my latest UFO to the Flickr group woohoo! It's only taken all day to get the pics off the camera to the site lol

Hope everyone's having a lovely evening, we're off out for a meal so no stitching for me tonight

Going to have a break from stitching for a couple of days until the fabric for 'New Heights' arrives

Wow well done she's a beauty and so quick too.

Back from the dentist, and she took a canine tooth out!! :eek: The numbness is begnning to wear off now, so won't be on the computer for very long .

Here's the coaster that I finished last night.



It is for a friend's son who is 21 (and who's name begins with H). he is a computer student, and 10101 is 21 in binary code.

Quite chuffed with it all. I created the lettering and numbers from a font I found on the computer, then used some of the computer icon ideas from here and here. To make them fit I had to stitch over one thread...it's 32 count, so I needed my magnifying glass!!

Might get some Elegant Lady done later, or some quilting (only a pot-holder, but my first attempt). I may have to wait if the pain in my mouth gets much worse though...I can see Numb3rs calling me on DVD, or it could be NCIS, or House!!!

Have a good day everyone....lovely here...warm and sunny, over 22 deg C atm!!! :eek:

Brilliant coaster i love it.

nmm it's really coming to life now

Erics mum that is lovely .
