weekly challenge, but more chatting tbh - part 5!

[lucykate]

ready, steady, go...!

ooh oh ohh my moo mini cards jsut arrived...! no stickers though but the cards are here they look soo cool..

Meri - There you go. Almost sorted. Printer disc as far as i remember. Put disc in and it should just pop up with an install wizard. Finding paper . . . hmm . . . is it under your desk, behind a box that you store envelopes in (or is that just me ). I think you could make a tidy profit there. no way do they look like that's all they cost to produce!!

misty- well the ones I am sending to her are... but that not putting into account the work .. she asked for ones that dont cost alot as expensive stuff wont sell here... and havent included the ones that have they fiddly expensive sterling toggles and such... to be honest for a first attempt if they cover costs plus a bit of the work I will be happy to get rid of them to buy more... still have quite a few left and toggles to order etc...

happier now... I need coffee though... thank you.. will go fight with the printer now.

Good luck. I used to live in Derby so I'm intrigued as to which shop it is (although I'm sure more have popped up since I left 5 years ago) Certainly the bit I lived in wouldn't sell expensive stuff!!!

well done Miaou

goodluck with the printer fight meridian!!! your jewellery is lovely BIG YOURSELF UP!!!

I've started my russian doll swap and it's looking good!

misty- I'm not actually in Derby im in Ripley, the shop is in ripley too.. its called Outframed Gallery... finally found the printer cable... so now doing test print thingamagig... I'm not very tech ....

VV- thank you... I have to finish kitchen swap and russian doll one.. have done painted pages for each but not done anything else yet to go with... very not with it this week apparently.

I'm way beyond not with it. I've made a comprehensive list of things I need to make. I've looked on-line for a few bits I need. That's it though!!

Phew. I have finished the ballgown. It is delivered. I'm not 100% happy with it, but that's the perfectionist in me! Will hopefully get some photos from the party to put on my blog (the girl I made the dress for is happy to go on it thankfully!)

Am now working on my kitchen swap, downloading images of peppers and tomatoes to make templates! Will go to my local fabric shop this afternoon (hopefully) and get some red fabric (already have green). Am looking forward to doing it now I have decided what to do!

Good luck with the jewellery Meri, how very exciting (if stressful!)

something to make you smile well it did me.. or perhaps thats jsut me being wierd..

back from my trip to see the lady at the shop.. have done a flat rate of £10 per bracelet if it sells... will see what happens... they are going up at £13.95 in the shop, its a tester, ripley is very hit and miss so we shall see.. she seemed quite intrested in my painted pages so will work on them too... going to add some prints to my etsy shop and see what happens.

well done on finishing the dress Miaou!

Thanks!

I am making a knitting pattern request - my mum has offered to buy me wool for my birthday, and after hours of prevarication I have finally found a pattern I like - which is of course in a pricey book which I don't want . Oh well ... I'm hoping someone can help me out!

miaou- I havne't got the book if i did I would send it to you... can you not order the book... then erm send it back after reading the one pattern?

lol meri, that had occurred to me ... - I would bottle out though!

Miaou. I get most of my fabric from ebay, from a US seller - google zeetzeet fabrics and she'll come up. I got some black and white dots, but the other way round recently, it was from another seller though. Can't remember the name, but it was weeplay dots, if you search for that in ebay.com it'll come up.
I find that the fabrics from zeetzeet are always really good, and around £4 a yard, so as cheap or cheaper than the ones you can get in UK shops, and are 'designer', so you know what you're getting. HTH!!! Any more qs just holler!

On another note....Nbg emailed me today to tell me that she's leaving MN, I don't know the details but it's a case of MN and RL coming into contact in a not very nice way. I've emailed back to ask whether she'll still be blogging, so I'll let you know what she says. She asked me to say goodbye to everyone

about Nbg leaving - can't she just change her name or just have one for crafts?

oh no, poor nbg!!!

Hope she manages to come back (at least craftwise).

I hate it when that happens.

(and thanks gingermonkey for the the fabric info - sorry, bit distracted here )

she's said that if she comes back with a new name and links to her blog said person will know it's her, so she thinks it's best to leave it. But she's still blogging, so she's not totally gone!!! Hoorah!!! Poor Nbg

poor nbg, have just emailed her... hope she can come back sometime... she is lovely...

oh no, nbg have just emailed her too, poor thing!

oh no NBG...will miss you hugely! will email you...

oh crikey, i've had a large very strong glass of pimms and made the mistake of spending the evening catching up on blogs and leaving comments.

i have used the term 'yumtious scrumtious' , and typed 'vomments', instead of comments

i think i should call it a night

pmsl lk - the perils of posting whilst pissed (great alliteration there ) - it's all still there in the morning ...
