    So, why do we have to grow older and have responsibilities?..... Question for the nightshift to wake them up.

    No just found the box with contents at a charity shop.
    Takes me back to being smal as my mum grew up very much in the 'make do and mend' era. Like bubbs was saying earlier it was a treat to be allowed to play with the buttin box.

    Not any imediate sewing plands but I have the big wooden for various words,
    Home, life, peace and I have seen them covered with buttons bows and little flowers so I wanted to give mine a makeover. There is a purse in there with original owners wage slips in and lots of those lttle white labels our mums used to order with our name on for school clothes. I figure her son is now in his 40's and she had still kept them all this time. Last things I can date roughly are the golden churn tubs with single colour buttons in. They have 49p on the label so box was oviously in use for many years.

    Do use a lot of textiles in some art so nothing will be wasted but as I said earlier there asre some collectoers pieces like the crochet hoots and lots of things in mint condition which I can sell on.

    how lovely....I must have missed out :( my mother didnt sew either but she did do household repairs, so I guess I picked my practical side up there :rotfl: it must be a service thing. My dad was always away, so if anything broke, we fixed it. My hubby was always away so I just did the same.

    earlier today my OH asked if he could borrow my drill.......says it all really :D:rotfl::rotfl:

    A very strange mix, but it works in a sort of jelly and ice cream way.

    deep!! man :rotfl::rotfl: do you have responsibilities?? we have to get sensible and check the kids have what they need and make sure other people are looked after.

    My DS1 asked me a few months ago why I waited so long after getting married to have kids. I told him I never grew up myself until I was nearly 30 and finding out he was on the way was the reason for me growing up :eek::rotfl:

    We all have responsibilities. Its just to what degree do we let them control us. So you are grown up now?? :eek: (:p)
    EDIT: Sometimes we let them control us too much.


    An even odder mix... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuTE1vP3WWg

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)
