Good morning all,
Warm and cloudy here in Shropshire today. The met office app says it’s not going to rain, but I’m unconvinced! So I think the laundry can wait 
Today I’m going to embroider OH a new Manchester United Hi-viz vest for work. His old one is looking a bit tatty now 
After that as he’s working late today I may start on some bigger Christmas projects and maybe some more cushion covers. They take forever to do as they have to be watched the whole time and stitched slowly so the wrong bits don’t get under the needle and get stitched together 
Rhiannon @RhiannonRoseJewellery Both my cats kicked me out of bed this morning lol They are both cuddled up in there now looking very cute and innocent.
Hang on I’ll take a photo

Lazy animals lol The one on the right is Maiya and the other is her son Bear (yes that tiny kitten I was osting photo’s of last summer 
I hope you all have a good day 
Well good news bad news really. Had a lovely day shopping with daughter, we went to the junk shop and saw some amazing upcycled stools, but unfortunately at upcycled prices! So now looking for the 1940s square stool every household had until just recently! Went to the fantastic fabric shop, but there was just too much choice, so having stroked every roll of beautiful fabric we left the shop with a sample! See where this is leading, we didnt buy anything, even the coffee and cake was free with the JLP vouchers!! Hubby would say good result, but for us failure!!!
So I guess its back to the grind stone and I will have to get the knitting out and finish what I am doing, but I will go back on my own next month on the old dears village bus!!

Lol Suzzie @thistledownandHOPE, that sounds so like me!
We had an eventful day. Both cats were in this morning, so we decided to take them to the vets for their annual check up. It all went fine up to the point where we both had hold of a cat and they were both refusing to get into their baskets. OH managed to get his in and secured, but my little baby had to be put in and zipped up by both of us. They were beautifully behaved at the vet’s though! Having done the weekly shop this afternoon, I finally got round to a photo session, so I shall be listing later.
What is it about cats? Mine is kinda in disgrace, on wet Tuesday eve, he managed to slinky milinky through a gap in the bathroom window, soaking wet, to jump onto the new towels that were hanging over the end of the bath, which then slid off depositing him on the floor. Okay, whats so disgraceful about that, well the towels I bought for No1 sons girlfriend, at the beginning of the summer holidays as she seems to spend time here, are now torn as whilst he was obviously trying his hardest to maintain any dignity, the claws came out, and the rest is history, needless to say I have a large mending job to do!!!
Then there are the fleas…caught from the mice he regularly catches and leaves at each door step as little sorry presents …mmmmm but for every flea there is 4 Fleas, magic.
But we still love him, why does that happen?

Oooh new knits on their way, loving it Suzzie! @thistledownandHOPE x
Dawn @hobbitgirlie1880 I have to agree with Sasha @SashaGarrett, light grey or a nice icy blue would be lovely. Have you heard anything more about the flat? x
How’s you’re Daughter and OH doing Donna? @RedDragonDesigns / @ShropshireNaturalProducts Hope their both well, especially you’re Girl! x
Love your kitty key ring Kim @KBCreations, so sweet! x
Did you enjoy your 10 days off of work Roz? @Rozcraftz Hope you managed to fit some new creations in. x
Glad to have you back on board Kelly @tagpress
However I am really sad to hear your new house isnt all you dreamed it would be, but at least if you are in the area you have a better chance of finding bigger without so much stress as before, and as every situation has a silver lining, your mornings will be blissful without motorbike boy next door, acting as your alarm call.
But enough chitter chatter, must get the needles out and work,
Suzzie x
OH and Daughter are both much better thank you Kelly @tagpress 
Have you had any thought about where you’re going to move to? Will you be staying in the same area or trying somewhere new?
Thanks Suzzie @thistledownandHOPE. You’ll laugh because I think the biker followed me, either that or Rhiannon’s @RhiannonRoseJewellery neighbour did! I woke to it the morning after moving and it was 4.50am, couldn’t believe it!
I’m glad both you’re OH & Daughter are doing well Donna @RedDragonDesigns. What’s happening with the ironing board covers? Are you going to make them for you’re shop or have you discarded the idea?
Megan @SoSewMegan, I hope you’re well and had some news from you’re appointment? And you too with you’re upcoming surgery Dawn @hobbitgirlie1880. x
Lol, Kelly @tagpress, it wasn’t my biker: he’s still alive and kicking and very noisy!
Ha! Don’t mention ironing board covers! There is a problem with the fabric that I didn’t foresee! When you iron something damp on then the colour runs. I was busy doing some children’s pillow slips and noticed bits of red dragon all over them! 
I will be making some more when I get some better fabric 
I was supposed to be going fabric shopping last weekend, but went to the flower show instead
Was that the Shrewsbury flower show Donna @RedDragonDesigns, was it as good as always?
Funny what one misses!!

It was Suzzie we had a great day which ended with the amazing fireworks 
I think they get better every year. And of course I went around all the craft stalls and talked about folksy to anyone who’d listen lol
Well at least we’re going through it together then Rhiannon @RhiannonRoseJewellery lol 
That’s a shame about the fabric Donna. So annoying when that happens. I hope you’re able to find something you love that’s suitable, I have good faith in you! x 
Oh dear Kelly - doesn’t sound too good but welcome back.
What a lazy day I’ve had today although not entirely unproductive. I always struggle to really get into any crafting when my daughter is home. Much as I love having her here I need her to go back to school in order to get something done. Still I had a little play with my beads and came up with some ideas for Christmas decorations so at least I achieved something.
Thanks Roz @Rozcraftz. Can’t wait to see you’re Christmas goodies. x
Sneak preview Kelly @tagpress. These are some of the tree decorations I have done
(poor photo I’m afraid but its a bit late in the day!) - been doing a few garlands too but need to felt a few more balls to finish those 
Think that will be a Sunday job while my daughter is at work.
Need to work out pricing now - its a long time since I bought any decorations so am out of touch. Any help appreciated 
Those are lovely Roz @Rozcraftz, I like that you’ve made them in the traditional red & green colours too. Did you plan on selling them in pairs, sets or individually? Thanks for sharing the photo. x
A bit of each, Kelly @tagpress. Will probably sell individually at craft fairs but as sets of 4 on here as otherwise postage becomes ridiculous - don’t think I can justify postage of £3 for one decoration!
I think you’ve thought wisely Roz @Rozcraftz, the postage price for a small item like that is just ludicrous and before we know it Royal Mail will throw the prices up again and maybe even introduce another set of dimensions lol.
I’m not sure on price Roz but if you get yourself a figure for one ornament, you could always knock something off the total of the set so the buyer receives a discount of around £2 - £3. Sorry I’m not of much help but I know you’ll come up with something! x
Good morning all.
I seem to have lost a whole day. It just vanished.
Welcome back Kelly @tagpress no the first flat didn’t get back to us after seeing photos. With is strange as our flat was bigger than thiers.
The second flat was a time waster. Think get just fancied a nosey round my flat.
I have kind of given up at the moment.
But I doubt anyone will want to swap now. Upstairs has hot a new sound system.
We haven’t had a quiet night since last Thursday.
I’m exhausted. last night was terrible think he had everyone he knows round.
OH has gone to work very grumpy as you can imagine.
Sorry grump over.
I spent yesterday with my bestes friend ever. Hahaha. we took here little girl to crazy golf I had cuddles with the baby
Then I sat in her frontroom eating biscuits we made and tea. It was really lovely.
