    Louise & AM - love the updates.

    AM, hope things pick up soon. You too Craftygranny.

    Only a flying visit today, mainly to wish Bikerchick good luck for the 21st (seeing as i'm a bit sporadic at this logging on thing nowadays).

    Hope you all have brilliant weekends xx

    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.

    hello Crafty Granny! so nice to 'see' you again. you've been missed. am so glad you're leg is gettign better. my nan had celulitus so i feel for you *hugs*

    Bikerchick - good luck for the op, just in case i forget to say

    Louise - that is beautiful, a real family heirloom.

    ejs - i'll try to scan this weekend. i know i have scanned the cupcakes before, so i could print and mark off where i'd go to, but i cant find it. oh, maybe it's a work.. i'll look on my usb stick.

    i got some stitching done on wed eve at the monthly folk night, to the cherries tapestry kit (ie just /// not full XXX), and also basted 25+ hexagons for my quilt. and drank a pint. a very productive evening i thought!

  • Sorry to hear about how bad your leg has been Graftygranny, I hope it continues to improve for you x

    Louise the finished product is truely stunning, well done :T It is a shame it will only be seen one month every year.

    Well, I have managed a bit of stitching despite the pain. It is rather a good distraction isn't it?
    But time really flies when I stitch, only sat down for 10minutes... 2 hours ago :o lol. Oh well it keeps me quiet and out of mischeif :D.

    Hope to do a bit more this evening after DH [STRIKE] burns[/STRIKE]cooks tea
    Hope you're all having a lovely evening
    AM x
