Congrats Mummy3

LW - hope it goes well tomorrow.

Off for a brief trip for work stuff and then on to Mr A. DD has just taken nearly 2 hours to have a "quick bath" :mad: This means we're now going out nearly an hour later than I wanted to. But at least the weather is dry for now. :wave:

LW sending you strength for tomorrow, I'll be with you in spirit

DS3 dropped at cricket and faulty gloves exchanged (for mittens). Time for a cuppa before DS3 gets home.

2/3 of cane toad eaten. 2nd pair of curtains shortened and re-hung. Only 1 pair to go. Yipppeeeeee.

At Easter I am going to play with my 'new' sewing machine and make cushions...I hope.

They weren't kidding about the air quality *wheeze*

Been SO busy today BUT I have run my last after schoool club WOOT as I am 'minding' the choir for the village performance on a fortnightly basis. I only had six attendees anyway - and a couple were leaving so best decision I feel.

I recently made some pretty impressive cushion covers on a basic sewing machine and I hadn't done any sewing since school. When you say 'hope' are you worried about sewing machine, skill, pattern or time?

Valli

Time - and also I need to buy new needles for the machine I was gifted. I have a mental picture of the cushions I will make. And I am not a fabulous sewer. But I do enjoy having a go and we shall see...

Hmm can't help with time! I made envelope cushions but used buttons for decoration rather than have to make button holes.

I just bought some needles off eBay for £2.36 including postage and they came quick (got to be cheaper than going out to get them) - I'm expecting to break one or two when I try sewing the denim I just got fresh!

Ionafan last week you asked me what these were for, sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you.. The cage is to cover our veg plot. It's called a "pop up" cover - and basically it stops butterfly and birds getting to our crops. Very efficient.



This one is my gorse bush - rather like the ones you see at the side of motorways except a bit more refined.

LW hope all goes well tomorrow, will be thinking of you honey xx

Congratulations Mummy3 xx

*offered 2 lively kittens, will cause you to go grey prematurely, love to play chase around the house and knock everything off shelves*

These two are driving me mad, have a sleep then go mad around the house...and generally just being loonies!!

My carpet looks pretty good. But now smells like wet dog (I don't have a dog. I guess that's because I didn't get the extractor fan working.
