-Meri

I'm back from hols & still utterly clueless

I was hoping that a trawl through North Berwick's charity shops (all 6 of them in one wee high street - bliss) & a good cybersearch on the band JBR mentioned in her email (Tindersticks) would help but nope. I need some help -

JackBlackRoady would you prefer something for you? For babby? Do you like bags, accessories, wierd stuff?

i'd like anything! i LOVE bags and accessories, but i also am pretty intrigued by the 'wierd stuff' you mention! i don't have much for the baby yet (well, there's a whole 5 weeks to go! ) so that would also be lovely!

I found this pretty fabric and thought about a 'household' item i might make you, so chopped and pinned and then asked DH, neighbour and MIL "does this make you think 'vintage'?" only to get a resounding 'no' from each of them. but they all followed up with 'its sweet/spring-like/useful' so maybe you will get it anyway. actually, at this rate you will get a pile of fabric and nothing made at all, i am having a nightmare trying to get anything done!

I'm intrigued

I like 'household items' - I like things that are gonna get used.

when's the deadline for this swap? panic!

VV - I'm finished!! My fabric choice was not ideal (I'll know better next time!!) but it's ready to post.

I've emailed you for your address

i'm pretending i haven't seen your email . . . .to buy more time!!!!

ds has been throwing up since yesterday

he's now starving hungry

VV - Don't panic - there's really no rush - I know you'll send when you're finished.

Sorry to heat about your DS - hope he's better soon

dizzy- i'm just finishing off today! i'll email you later with address

ds seems fine today but i can't work because of his sickness bug - it's been lovely , if only dp wasn't suffering still with manFlu and lounging around watching crap tv!!!!

phew. . . . .i finished

I've finished too, sent it off today, hope it arrives tomorrow so I can press publish on my blog post.

....GM swans in smelling of roses.....

oooh, what's this? An amigurumi owl? And a crocheted rose scented pouch? From Ranting? Ooohhhh, thank you Mr Postman. And obviously, most importantly - thank you Ranting. I got all a quiver when I saw the size of the parcel!!! DD will love the owly, and I love the smelly sachet

You're most welcome, making those was the most fun I've had in ages, really enjoyed it.

i finished and i posted my swap !!!!
