We've had some sunshine today, yippee !

It's very quiet ... has everyone been beamed up by aliens ? Where is everyone ?

Been experimenting with some new things so I've blogged

I'll be a 'Billy No Mates' this evening then

Spent yesterday night banging away at the sewing machine, I have (nearly) made myself a top, went to put the facing in and realised I'd ran out of cotton and couldn't be asked to go upstairs and fetch some more.

So I kicked my feet back and watched Walked the Line. Must blog at some point, my dear old blog is gathering moss!

[Whizzz]

Hi all - your new stuff looks good Tilly (have I said that I love your blog with the little funky coloured shapes - really eyecatching)

I've not done anything crafty. We went to a country show type thing on Saturday - there was a craft marquee. One nice jewellery stall, one run of the mill jewellery stall where I recognised most of the beads so we must shop at the same online places! and one mass produced shipped in 'jewellery' stall. There were no really eye catching crafts - all 'granny' type knitting & boring cushion covers.
Sunday we went to Chester & I finished off writing another Treasure Hunt - it just needs tweeking & testing before I send it off to the website.
I have gained another person that likes my Folksy shop, but don't really want to add anythign else too it - although I have loads of ideas for tiles!

HELLO EVERYONE!

am back from a misty, rainy, exhausting break in Ireland. I grew up there but even my bleakest memories didn't contain THAT much rain. Still, twas fun being away from London and shwoing the kids the countryside, in between showers.

Haven't been through everything but will be cathing up on blogs and everyone's activities later on. Hope you are all well and have had good summers.

I have almost 3,000 emails in my work inbox today though so that's going to take a while to sort out. Expect me back in December

WELCOME HOME - JEANGENIE

[Whizzz]

Hi JG - we went to Ireland on hour honeymoon & it rained all the time. I'm sure there was some fantastic scenery there somewhere under the clouds

[jeangenie]

poor you Whizz - mind you we got married there in the middle of August, in a dense FOG. It was so cold we had a peat fire at the reception. You'd think I would learn my lesson and go somewhere else. Next year, I SWEAR I am not going near the place (they'll have a heatwave no doubt!)

ok, back to my emails [yawn]

Nice to be back!

[lucykate]

welcome back jg, must spend some time catching up, it is the last day of the holidays for us tomorrow, back to school on thursday. am going to clean the house, get rid of all the dust, and guess what...!

i have a kitchen floor!!!!, was fitted by dh and my stepdad yesterday.

i have floor, i have floor!, no gaping holes, no bare concrete and rubble, but proper floor, yipeee!

[ranting]

Ah JG, was thinking about you this morning. Welcome back.

[ranting]

LK, you have a what!

[lucykate]

a floor

i'm rolling around on it and stroking it right now

(dh would probably love me to apply that sentence to him )

[ranting]

There's an awful lot of stroking goes on, on these threads you know.

I remember a while back someone - I think it was LucyKate, but I may have got that wrong ??? -

told us how to put our own icon in a weblink in the address bar but I can't remember how to do it. If it was you LucyKate could you please share your wisdom and put me out of my misery

Ta muchly

[lucykate]

it was me, it's a little tricky but all is explained here

read the tutorial through a couple of times until it all starts to make sense before having a go. i made my own favicon in photoshop and then saved it as a .jpg. the tutorial tells you to store the image as a blog post, change the date of the post so it doesn't appear in your current stuff, i did mine so it is my very first post, see here

the tricky part is adding the correct code into your existing blog template in the 'edit html' page, if it doesn't work, it will be the code is in the wrong place or isn't correct. anyway, the tutorial on blogger buster explains it all, if you get stuck, let me know.

[Tillyboo]

Hi LK- Oh, that's fab ! Thanks so much. DH has been trying to find how to do it so he'll impressed with this.

Blogged my new hairdo and a few more dippies that I made today

[vInTaGeVioLeT]

i have blogged a little teaser of my WIP for the "fairytale swap" here

[vInTaGeVioLeT]
