    Wow, Keiss, you are one busy lady - well, most of us on here are, apart from me who's been signed off for hopefully a final week before going back to the coalface.

    Hi Keiss, KK, and all! Erm, Pippi too, if she ever surfaces!

    Keiss, congratulations - that really is patchwork, and a great looking patchwork too. I was thinking about you and your cards the other day, found another **huge** site that sells them - my Dummies book from the library says that you give them the images, they do the work when there's an order, which sounds ideal. Don't know if its still true - anyway, its cafepress, who I used to know, but forgot all about.

    The Dummies book is starting an online business, and even tho its 8 years old, its full of little nuggets like that ... there's a lot I can speedread over, tho!

    Holiday I went on had some bright spots, but I fell appallingly ill - noro virus. Unfortunately, my mum was even worse, it seemed a bit problematic for a while, but she has her appetite back, finally, so she seems okay. Back down here again, and the weather is *still* lovely here, tho I have seen the odd frost, and I feel like I have so much to do, I don't know where to begin - so I thought I'd better begin here!

    Thanks KC for the heads up, will chase it upwhen I have a minute. Will have a look at the book too...could have some useful info. Mind you, I have a couple of books which I might take away to Scotland with me.

    Oh no to getting the noro virus on holiday!!! :eek: It was bad enough having it at home a few weeks ago. Hope you are all well on the mend now...it fairly takes it out of you...we took over a week to get our appetites back.

    You're right about having loads to do in the garden...and I haven't been away! Today is my paid IT day, but hope to get most of it all done this morning, so I can sow some seeds this aftternoon...and get more sewing done too....fingers crossed.

    I wonder if Pippi is geetting her polytunnel cover up?? Not sure if the weather has been that great though.

    Have a good day all xxx.

    You're very welcome Pippi. I hope the Stardrops will keep you going for a little while. The card (even though I make my own) I couldn't resist as I love butterflies.
