Me too! I think they must remove some of it when you give birth to make room for the eyes in the back of your head :rotfl:

Just had another thought brookeslay as rainmac suggested sort your threads first. If your kit didn't come with a thread organiser aka a bit of card with a row of holes in then you can easily make yourself one by putting a row of holes in a bit of card and then looping the threads through.

I haven't done any stitching for ages I have loads of charts and threads sitting there but I also have loads of knitting to do and cards to make and hampers to wrap and there's always a sock monkey (am resisting them so far) and............................. only one me :rotfl:.]

paddingtondoo thats a really good idea i`ll try and make a sturdy one and then i can keep it ( fingers crossed it turns out okay ).:T

My brain is pregnant mush along with heaps of hormones ...ahhhhh

ASC

Boo. I made a batch of test (thank goodness) fudge last night, but it hasn't set. I'm assuming that I didn't boil it for long enough, even though it seemed to do the soft ball test okay.

Anybody have a better explanation please?

TIA

hi , it was kids craft kit things i picked up for £1 each from shop called qs , the magnets are just moulds with plaster of paris then need to paint them , the window clings are just the window paint you pint the picture on like plastic paper stuff let it dry then it peals off to stick on your window got them to do with my son for his gran and grandad , i will try put pics up on here but have never done it before so it may all go wrong hth
