sorry to hear your bad news, Puppy

hmmm commercial, profitable, NOT hours of handwork... i may have to branch out

thanks guys you've given me lots to think on. right now i'm going to stop trying to sort my life out and get back to playing with my quilt that's what i love about doing hand work - whenever my head's spinning i can immerse myself in doing something and it all fades into the background.

hope everyone's had a good day.

shoe related blog but nothing else to show for myself. My knitting project is finally starting to get longer. I'm not sure what it is going to be yet!!! It's one of two things, but I will wait for it to tell me!!
I have quite a bit of stuff to do.

Dior- lovely necklace have left a comment. I saw some lovely little handmade gingam hearts at a gift shop in Cromford a week ago, I was tempted to get them for my MIL.. she liked them but the colour wasn't quite right for her... they were on a sting so I guess a heart garland but were just not quite right...

misty- have read your blog just not commented yet.. blogger went all crap on me ... I'll try again later... love the first shoes best.. lovely

have blogged a painted page and a stained sketch last night.. then forgot to post it on here... too tired...

here

going to attemtp to do some beading this morning while DS is at preschool for a few hours... and I suppose clean the house. boohoo

ranting · 02/07/2008 09:18

Dior. fear not, another mner was commenting on how they imagine you to be gorgeous, it was on a thread about what you imagine mners look like.
Morning all, still no time for blogging [sigh] but I am finishing things....

Dior- thank you... I do tend to like swirly things.. perhaps thats why DS has curly hair.

have blogged an orange agate pendant that is a large focal bead like that necklace you did a bit ago.. but I don't know what specific agate it is or if its dyed that orange or what... its fab though.. the bead..

ranting · 02/07/2008 10:46

Well of course, I knew that! You can just tell, can't you.

justkeepswimming · 02/07/2008 11:06

love looking at all the blogs - am envious of the time you seem to have and the talent

closest i've come to crafting is re-threading the bathroom light cos the string snapped
took me ages too!

not quite true, i went to a paint your own pots place last night with my orchestra, painted an eggcup with flames - boiled eggs are hot! - will take a pic if it looks any good once it's been fired...

DiornaNoble · 02/07/2008 12:01

Meri - have left you a blog message.

meridian · 02/07/2008 12:31

Dior- your name change threw me for a bit... but thank you... will have to go see whats being gossiped about on the Dr. Who geeks thread.

jks- I never seem to have as much time as I would like... I can be pretty productive at times.. ..and if i get really into something then something else gets neglected.... like the hoovering (the hoover is bust anyay)

jeangenie · 02/07/2008 13:13

ooh oooh oooh - my upcycled pincushion is on cuteable...am so chuffed! thanks Meri for letting me know (and for your lovely comment on there) woo hoo (can you tell I am pleased? )

DiornaNoble · 02/07/2008 13:30

How brilliant JG!

I have blogged two more bracelets. Very quick and easy ones but they look nice, if simple.

Yes Meri - it was suggested that we change our names in honour of the series finale

Tillyboo · 02/07/2008 13:44

I've slunk over here as I braved a thread on TV addicts about Duncan Ballentyne - I've exited it before it gets out of hand ...

Why are some people so confrontational ?

Right well I'm off to clear up the kitchen as dd is not at school today and there is a pile of feathers, sequins, glitter, glue and paint to clear up. She's had a fab time though

mistypeaks · 02/07/2008 14:08

Hmm thinking I should change my name to mistypeaksdavros? mistyshadowproclamation?
I feel totally out of my depth on the DrWho Thread. I've only got into it since Christopher Eccleston. (apart from a brief stint back in the day of old whatsis face - name escapes me slight lisp, curly hair). Somehow I missed the fact that DT was going and there was to be a new DR I only watch 2 programmes that I sky+ so I miss out on a lot of gossip!!
Looking 4ward to Sat though. Wonder who it will be?
Love that Orange pendant Meri 'tis lush. Am going to check out Dior's blog now.

TheMeridianCascade · 02/07/2008 16:31

dior- have left you a comment!

I never really watched Dr. Who until these new ones... it wasn't really on tv in the states when I was growing up... DH dragged me into it making me watch best of shows.. and then watching these latest series obviously...I'm a sucker for a sci-fi show though...

TheMeridianCascade · 02/07/2008 17:24

ahem.. have blogged again.

Gingermonkey · 02/07/2008 18:00

My dd is in the Doctor Who club at school, they nerd about the Doctor and watch episodes. She witters on about it all the time, but I just can't get into it at all!

JG - congrats on cuteable, hoorah hoorah!!

lucykate · 02/07/2008 19:41

we've never watched the new doctor who, dd would find it too scary and for me, doctor who will always be tom baker, he's the one i remember from when i was younger.

have unveiled the strawberries today btw!
