Take care all x Morning all. 😊 Hope evryones ok? We have had beautiful weather all week too! (well I think it wasn't so great mon/tues... but I can't really remember that far back 😂) When can we mention the 'c' word? I love the thinking and planning, like looking up new menus etc, trying a few things, 'thinking' about all the crafty cards 'could' make - but never actually do...even though I buy the resources needed! 😂 (any excuse to visit a craft shop!) I few things planned this weeked including trying to sort a longweek UK city break over the above period. ⬆️ cx 1 Quote

Although one of the other people at school has arranged for a wreath making workshop to take place at school in early December - I just felt I couldn't tell you all about it yet! 2 Quote

Glad to hear he's enjoying himself! When I first went to uni my mum could not get used to cooking meals for 5 rather than 6 so she'd cook the same and then freeze my portion. Every now and then they'd have a 'Froglet meal' where everyone ate something different - one of my previously frozen portions! 1 1 Quote

zigzag Posted October 20 Posted October 20 It went through Cornwall in the night and is settling a bit here now. Just off for Mums birthday lunch to Roskillys (if you know you know) she’s 89 today! And this is the women who in one week does Pilates, two fitness classes, social club, pub quiz, cooks at the old peoples community lunch, plays table tennis, goes to writing group and walks everyday! She is amazing! 1 1 Quote

Froglet Posted October 24 Posted October 24 So what do you do on a day where you’d planned to work, need to work but REALLY don’t want to - when the prospect of autumn crafting and making cinnamon buns is far far more appealing?! Quote

Oooh Young Froglet are you on half-term break? In answer to your question - you get on with some autumn crafting and you make cinnamon buns - obvs! 🤣 1 Quote

I have taken your advice - been for lunch with a couple of friends, crocheted a pumpkin and whilst I haven't made cinnamon buns I am eating chocolate and catching up with Bake Off! 1 Quote

I really need some inspiration... although I have literally just booked myself onto christmas card making course (machine embroidery) - I need to get my crafting mojo back!

Froglet Posted October 25 Posted October 25 'Tis Friday (at least I think it is - the days have blurred a little this week!)! Louby - I'm mostly crocheting pumpkins! A couple are gifts for people at school. The others are to make a little autumn display in my front window. I also have a half-finished pair of socks to work on. I have so many unfinished/unstarted projects at the moment - some felt and paper flowers, embroidered felt Christmas decorations. I've never tried machine embroidery but have always been in awe of how people can control the machine to create such beautiful things! I think I'm going to have a fairly lazy day again today - my head just isn't in a schoolwork place. It does mean that I'll have to work next week but I think that if I try to do it today it will take ten times longer than it should! This weekend I'm going on a crochet workshop - crocheting a haunted knight! It's near where my sister lives so I'm going to go and see them too. It's a bit grey and chilly here so I'm hoping for a little more brightness soon! Have a lovely day/weekend everyone. 1 Quote
louby loo Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Morning all 😊! Like froglet I'm not really sure of the day to be honest 🤣 Froglet you really do have your crafting organised. Bit grey and gloomy here this morning, hopefully it will brighten up later. Cx 2 Quote
