Sunnyday it does seem like bad timing to be asking that question! Talk about the hard sell! I honestly like the idea of the pure cremation idea where there’s no service or fuss but the family could then do something when they scatter ashes. I don’t want to be centre of attention in life let alone death! I don’t know if this is just my weird sense of humour that it appeals to (if it offends anyone I’m sorry) but when my Dads ashes were returned to us, the pot was In a bag for life!! Also found out that this was the case for another family member in Devon so it’s not just a Cornish thing! As I say this actually made me laugh! Hope all goes well on Thursday Sunnyday. It’s quite a responsibility and a relief when it’s over and gone well.

Experimenting always a good plan - I think that she uses wool in whatever skin colour she chooses to wrap them - which (as far as I'm concerned) is a good reason to buy more yarn!

Quick add, just found some pink pipecleaners on amazon, I think I'd prefer more 'skin tone' but might order so I can experiment.

To be fair I do have a craft obsessed granddaughter - therefore I do have a slight advantage with basics such as pipecleaners. Preety sure the last lot I bought were from somewhere like poundland? ..... However I guess I may need to source natural coloured ones? Please do not encourage me! At least Froglet sounds if if she may actually use them and not Just add them to stock- as they are too pretty to use! 😮

Notebooks are a must - I will be most disappointed in you if you do not buy them 🤣

You already have pipecleaners?! I thought I did but I'm not sure where so may have to get some more just in case... I did find myself researching appropriate yarn to crochet little hats for them. Definitely need wooden beads and cotton yarn for the arms - in a variety of colours in case I decide to make lots of different types! 😂 I mean just a few things although I may also need to get a couple of new notebooks to document the making process and write stories involving the fairies in.

I would happily buy them for you.... my only possible problem would be is that I may become too 'attached' to your items- then i would only be able to let you 'look, touch and handle' your items before I put them safetly away with the rest of my stash! I only really need some wooden beads for heads, and then some silk threads for body/arms etc. I mean I guess at a pinch I could use some of the threads that came with the embroidery set I bought last week 🙄😂

Enjoy your shopping - could you get a couple of bits for me too? I am very tempted to have a go at a snowdrop or daffodil fairy.

Very true - I wonder why on earth that thought it was a good time to ask! I must say, I like to idea of click and collect. I've said everyone can have a matchbox full of my ashes to do with as they please 🤷‍♀️ Well, Ive looked it up..... just need a couple of bits from the craft store,,,, Zigzag - lovely photo 😊 Mouseketeer - Hope it gets a bit dryer for you, although pretty wet up here too! ☔

Oh me too - sometimes I think I would like a 'huge fuss' 🤣 and have chosen my music 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me' the Elton John and George Michael version and 'Days' the Kirsty MacColl version...but at other times I think - no 'click and collect' would be best 🤣 It was just the Funeral Director's timing that I didn't like!

I know what I'm doing this afternnon then! Sunnday will be thinking of you Thursday and hope all goes as planned. I do have to be honest and say I do have sort of 'jokey' conversations about my wishes, and I do hope they get followed through. Froglet- fingerscrossed there's still one sticky pudding left? I've had an impromtu GD visit this morning as she had a bad tummy- something eaten rather than a bug. Therefore, this morning have had done spellings, reading, handwriting practice, a bit of maths/telling the time- an arts and crafts session, then ending with a game of scrabble (junior!). She did give me a yoga demonstration.... at that point a realised her tummy was fine 😂 Hope eveyone has a good weekend, hopefully not too wet. I've stopped looking at the weather forcast! x

You're welcome to hide here! Fire's on, kettle's on, pudding's warming. I quite like ironing so look up emmasflowergarden and bring the ironing with you!

Get the custard ready - I am on my way young Froglet! Hope you soon feel better - but whilst I am with you I really need somewhere to hide too - perhaps we could hide together... Now...let me think - shall I do the ironing or should I look up emmasflowergarden! 🤣

Sunnyday - glad you're getting things in place. Nothing like timing your comments hey?! Zigzag - beautiful photo. I had a friend from school round for tea last night. I made individual sticky toffee puddings and the smallest I could make the recipe still made 5 puddings so if anyone wants to pop up for leftovers you'd be welcome. I've put the fire on early today because it's so miserable. I have finished a book today - The Glassmaker by Tracy Chevalier. I always really enjoy her books. I think my next read is going to be a cosy crime from the library. Talking of crafts - has anyone come across emmasflowergarden on instagram - I am very tempted to have a go at making one of her flower fairies! Nothing in particular planned for the weekend or next week. I'm feeling a little out of sorts at the moment so I think I might just get cosy and hide for a few days.

Good morning - 'tis Friday zigzag - another lovely photo It has been another week of getting things in place for my lovely MIL's funeral which is to be held next Thursday, think we are 'done' - I am sighing a huge sigh of relief - but reminding myself not to be too pleased with myself just yet - time for that after the service and reception if all has gone well... When the Funeral Director visited us on Wednesday, after completing mounds of arrangements/paperwork - she said "and what about you two, would you like to take out plans for yourselves"? Flippin' heck - chose your moment - I just replied, very quietly "no not right now thank you". Anyway, enough already... Hope the weekend is kind to all x

Morning all. It’s dodgy driving with the state of the roads, more pot hole than road in some places. Also dodgy walking the dogs, so much mud and surface water everywhere you go. We have had some lovely dry spells this week though with some sunshine at times. This photo was taken on my dog walk yesterday and I sent it to mum, who is up in Kent at the moment in the rain. Within an hour of the photo it had poured down and I was soaking! (That’s Karma for gloating)

Isn't it awful - rain, rain and a bit more rain 🤦‍♀️ driving is as dodgy as anything, we have so many potholes that are less obvious when filled with water...

Hi, Hope everyone is well and not getting too flooded ….ridiculous amount of ground water here, will it ever stop? ☔️

With that seal of approval I'm off shopping then! 😃

Sorry, I’ve only just seen your reply. Thankyou so much x

Yes, yes, yes - don't delay we are depending on you louby! 👍

.........if only I had some craft materials I could try designing a logo 🤔, I know! I'd best go and buy some suitable bits then!!! 😀😂

I have so enjoyed reading this chat - what a bunch of weirdos we are 🤦‍♀️🤣 love the idea of a 'club logo' for our balaclavas! 🤣
