That sounds lovely MrsMoneypenny, I am sure she will be thrilled to see her work framed.

I have two birthdays in March, Grandson is today and sorted, other is ExMil, got her a card but havent the foggiest idea what to get her, used to get her a top from Bon Marche but ours shut down a few months ago.

Hi everyone

Finished all the sewing on my dress for the wedding today. It just needs a good press now and then hanging up. Son came round yesterday and asked me to show him the dress, then he moaned as it was cream and his fiances wedding dress is cream. I told her before I got the fabric what colour it was and she said it would be nice. Decided to tart it up with a cardi or jacket in a brighter colour but wasnt sure what one but then thought may be coral would look nice. Found a cardi on Ebay that I have put a bid on, got 5 days till it finishes. If I dont win it I have my eye on some fabric to make a shrug type jacket instead.

Got a cold coming, not surprised as everyone else around me has had one lately. First one for about three years so cant complain.

mum2one

Rufus - I wouldn't worry a lot of people wear cream, and at least you told Ds's OH, the coral sounds a lovely colour.

What about a dip lilac shawl type scarf, that just came to mind.

Do we get to see a photo? xx

rufusdog52

Yeah I will do a photo when I have pressed it nicely lol, its a bit screwed up at the moment. I am out tomorrow taking my Dad to the hospital so will try to do it Thursday.

mrs-moneypenny

hope tomorrow goes well at the hospital for your Dad

The most weird thing happened........ I was emailing a friend last ngt, our weekly gos and put the world to rights, while I was typing I had this feeling to say to her - that check on your sister alls not right - shes use to my moments got a message 2ngt via facebook, her sister that lives down South, just about to go to theatre she'd been waiting all day - she hadn't told my friend she was going down!

Why can't I dream the winning lottery numbers!! xx
