Hugs to Scarly. You know we're here for you. It's hard picking yourself back up after a mc but there's a few of us going through it as you know.

hugs to Nicki - that's awful! Your poor OH. Hope they find the evil !!!!!s that did it.

And gemma - CONGRATULATIONS!

(I think the other problem is that I envisaged asking for prams etc this year...)

Yes, I have this problem. I was going to ask for a new sling, and breastfeeding clothes (or money towards) and now I don;t know what I want. I could still ask ref the clothes cos I do breastfeed DD, and I guess the same goes for a sling as I still sling her, too, but it's not the same somehow.

I'm a crafter, all things crafty - the cheaper to do and the more useful the end result, the better. But I've got all the paints/easel/canvases/papers/rug making supplies/cross stitching/sewing machine/jewellery making stuff I need atm I tend to either get too ill/sore, or distracted by other things like mil's stroke, to finish projects though, so there's always something only half done! At the moment there's a cross stitch tapestry I was doing for Mil for her birthday 3 years ago, and a rag rug for my nephew for christmas/bday (early jan), half done, and dh wanted some (waxed cord) bracelet things making for him too

Ooh, can you help me with some crafty questions?

I have made some salt dough decorations for presents, some for DD to paint and some I want to to - any ideas on what paint I should use for mine? DD can just use her water-based paints and I'll set it with PVA glue mixed with water, but I want a better finish obviously and am not sure what to buy.

Also, my mum has given me some fabrics that mean a lot to her and I'd like to do something with them for her 70th in February. I don;t have enough for a quilt and don;t want to do a cushion cover, but I was wondering about a picture made of fabric. Have you got any ideas? Or even some pictures for inspiration? I'm a good sewer but prefer to do things by hand so it is slow.

Hope he's OK Nikki.

I won't write what I think of the people who think it's their right to just take from others :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Phones can be replaced, as long as he is physically OK that's important.

This page has some decoration ideas http://www.makeitandmendit.com/2009/10/19/how-to-make-salt-dough-christmas-decorations/

Not sure what to suggest for the fabrics, we tend to do patchwork covers. Although similar to a cushion cover how about a beanbag cover. You could recover a chair with the material to make it more personal. Or this: http://www.makeandtakes.com/fabric-scrap-project-ideas

There might be some ideas on one of these sites Skintchick

I'm canceling the cd1 alert. I've only had light spotting since this afternoon. Nowhere near being classed as full flow (yet) I'm officially postponing the decision until tomorrow!

Good luck hun. Fingers crossed for you!

How long will they stay out looking Nikki? It's good of the taxi driver to help look as he'll be losing money! If that restores your faith any?
