Let me know what you think

Mailed you tatty.

That is offically it though, really no more ladies! I have my own crafting to do

CuppaTeaJanice · 18/11/2009 17:45

Come on pickee, give me some info!!!

Otherwise you're getting a poodle......and I'm useless with wool, might end up more like a scraggy old stray mutt. That'll look good in your bathroom!!!

JackBauer · 18/11/2009 19:48

Have mailed you a bit CuppaTea...

I hope I'm not too late to give some info to my picker?

I would honestly be happy with anything!

I have two DC's, DS 5 and DD 3. I'm quite girly, brown hair, blue eyes, I love purples and greens. I should really be an elf as I love Christmas so much!

I'm a student and things are a bit tight this year so I'm making lots of home-made things for other people as gifts, but I will probably end up with 10 olay gift sets in return, I don't know many people who can make things themslves! I love cinnamon scented things.

My living room is silver/grey/black, but I would find a home in the kitchen / bedroom / hall if it is a different colour.

I am also allergic to hand made poodles but I fear DD would probably love it!

I am really excited!! I should really be an elf as I love Christmas so much!

KnottyLocks · 19/11/2009 15:54

Hey Hellbent, you should become an elf if you love Christmas so much .

I agree, tis the best time of year.

ChilloHippi · 19/11/2009 21:25

Am I the only person who would secretly quite like a poodle??!!

KnottyLocks · 20/11/2009 09:05

Apparently, although I am allergic to dogs, I may be ok with poodles. Not sure if that's a good thing or not

Oooops.

dizzyday07 · 20/11/2009 09:39

DH has a maiden aunt who has a dolly in her bathroom

JackBauer · 21/11/2009 14:57

Chilli. Yes. I think you are.

Knotty, you will be ok with a poodle, my BIL is allergic but their fur is more like wool so they don't shed. And you don't need a poodle cut. MIL's new poodle has a labradoodle cut. It's very cute (pic on profile)

In case some of you haven't seen it I have started a crafting chat thread as well

Am avoiding this thread as have so many presents to finish in the next 2 weeks before I see my family before christmas I can't think about what to make until I have finished that stuff. Luckily I think it will all be done by the end of the weekend...

KnottyLocks · 21/11/2009 17:23

Yep, Noodle's a cutie alright. May have to reconsider...fancy a giant chocolate poodle untrimmed...could call it Shabba.

What am I talking about? Can't even control the kids.

CuppaTeaJanice · 28/11/2009 17:07

How is everyone getting on with the poodle-making?

Mine's nearly finished...

When do we send them? As soon as we finish or do we wait until nearer Christmas?

JackBauer · 29/11/2009 14:14

I really want to make a poodle but am worried that only 14 people in the world would get why, and the rest would think I was some sort of freakazoid

I would say send it when done if you can't wait any longer! I am having crafting 'issues' at the moment, got no spare time to do anything and I have loads to do, but I have a whole weekend coming up where I will have 2 four hour car journeys to crochet and hand sew in (relative) peace while DH drives...

HellBent · 29/11/2009 22:10

I'm nearly finished but don't have an address to send to, will I email you jack or can you send again please?

JackBauer · 29/11/2009 22:30

I have sent it to you, have resent now, is your email kb2002?

CharCharGabor · 29/11/2009 22:37

I am trying to think of a way to incorporate the poodle into my swap, it amuses me

I am having crafting ishoos atm as well, catalogue of moans destroying my motivation. Am going to sit down and get on with some tomorrow and keep DD busy with making clay beads (for her own Christmas present - am such a bad mother!) Hopefully I will get most of it out of the way by Tues so I can get on with more Christmas presents.

JackBauer · 29/11/2009 22:39

I have so much to do as well, and they are all deadlined, ugh.
Must get back off MN....

HellBent · 29/11/2009 22:50

Sorry Jack, think I may have deleted it, signed up to freecycle to get rid of some stuff and am now getting an extra 20 emails a day!
That is my email address, think you might be missing a few letters though!
