Afternoon all . At last I finished these earrings off !
I am quite pleased with them
Meant to say yesterday Sarah @thedotterypotter that this is the most difficult part of the children flying the nest- the waiting and preparing them for the off . It will get easier . But just now itās hard to believe . I had to keep my daughterās bedroom door shut for ages and ages as I could not bear seeing her empty (well empty of her - its crammed with her stuff even now) Thinking of you . It is very upsetting but we know it has to happen . Hope you are ok .
Iāve had a bit of a play with the new sewing machine now. Itās certainly going to take a bit of getting used to but at least I know how to work it now. I think I may be alternating between machines for the foreseeable future as I still love my trusty old one and it still works fine.
My new listing today is another cushion. It includes a bit of cross-stitching - something I used to do ALL the time many years ago and now do very rarely!
am I being unfair?
It takes a lot of time to like and share all the beautiful work on here and then on top of that people have jobs and families to look afterā¦not to mention the craftingā¦
BUT when I see a shop pop up on this thread and they might only have 5 or 6 items in their shop and it is obvious that they cannot possibly list an item a dayā¦then I do NOT go and like their item (I bet they donāt do the clicking on OURS !!)ā¦
However I DO make a note of who I miss and if they start joining in and play fairly then I will go back and favourite the āmissedā items and any others in their shopsā¦
I donāt count the regular people who pop in when they can (we are all busy, have holidays, miss out days etc ) but it does irk me sometimesā¦(and I do make allowances for newbies who havenāt read what the thread is about and maybe list in the wrong placeā¦)
Am I being mean>
Oh that fordite Sasha @SashaGarrett - its set me drooling!
Love the earrings Caroline @carolinefrodsham - made me think Port & Starboard!
Well Iāve had a busy day today - my todo list and my done list donāt quite match up as I went off at a bit of a tangent but I did manage to make something new. Never quite got around to the ātake photosā item on the list so have nothing new to share today so will have to be a relist Iām afraidā¦ maybe tomorrow!
Afternoon all.
Another day gone in a flash, canāt quite believe it is already nearly Friday again, and daughter will be back.
Sarah @thedotterypotter I feel for you regarding your youngest going off to uni, I have been feeling twinges of what it will be like, with daughter being away. If they go off confident, we have done a good job I reckon, but we have to put ourselves back together and re adjust afterwards.
Brenda @teabreaks do what you feel comfortable doing and donāt worry about it x
evening folks, hope you ahve all had a good day, hope your legs are better tonight Pauline @PollysWares138, I had awful cramp on Saturday night and it took 3 days for the ache to go so I can sympathise.
Brenda @teabreaks, only thing I can suggest is do what you feel comfortable doing, and if in doubt just just skip past.
Thanks Deborah and Maxā¦I do favourite everyone and occasionally skip someone if I think they are just here for a few āLikesā
faved to hereā¦lol x
Please can someone help . I donāt seem to be able to put a picture up which goes straight to the listing like in Deborahs last post. Iām still copying the link
Thanks
Valerie after you have copied and pasted the photograph link, click the little āshow moreā highlighted text down on the right hand side, this will bring up another box underneath the picture link, if you then copy and paste the listing url (the same one you paste into the post) in the second box you should get a clickable link picture. I think Sasha did a post a while back Iāll go see if I can find it now
Valerie @valerie - I made a little walkthrough of how to get a big photo with a link but they have changed the icon since I made it. You now need to click on the icon of the landscape photograph (I think thatās what it is!)
Seen a brilliant movie at this afternoons silver screening, āLeave No Trace.ā Between that and this morningās shop this is a soon as I have had the chance to make my relisting for today.
Evening everyone.
Thinking of you Colleen @MidnightStarDesigns.
Brenda @teabreaks I there are alot of people at the start of the month with all good intentions, that perhaps as the month goes on, goes a little to the wayside. Its just lovely to have you peops on here every day to chat and support each other. xx
Iāve had the day off today to go to my neighbours funeral - he was in his 80s, but so very sad to see his wife so understandbly upset. The service was a lovely celebration of his life.
Just catching up on a few bits now. All loved to here.
