It's surprising how much money is needed to keep house even before buying food. She's kept up to date so far. Hope you're still on for the Virtual Tea Party. I'm going to put some details on my blog. <br />Love from Mum<br />xxMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442767679857541996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559591055018243942.post-73596066321756955242011-09-17T16:56:13.965+01:002011-09-17T16:56:13.965+01:00What a lovely blog you have, and the bag is gorgeo...What a lovely blog you have, and the bag is gorgeous i love it xpatchworkandlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586734932807995783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559591055018243942.post-61822076949556783242011-09-17T16:53:06.828+01:002011-09-17T16:53:06.828+01:00Love the colours that you've used for your bag...Love the colours that you've used for your bag. mmmmm, I know what you mean about sewing skills, mine, too are seriously lacking.

Love your blog. Am determined to look at more blogs, only have a couple of handfuls that I regularly follow, time for new blood methinks. As has been said, don't quite know how I missed your blog....<br />I hate blocking and sewing up/sewing in ends... the actual making of something is great, it's always the finishing off that bores the pants off me and isn't done with as much care to detail as the item itself. I should make myself look at it in a more positive light shouldn't I?Not a drudge of a chore to be got through, but the final embellishment to something lovely that I have spent ages making. Humm... maybe that'll work!<br />I will be back... promise, not a threat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559591055018243942.post-24669947294008864792011-09-16T18:11:59.460+01:002011-09-16T18:11:59.460+01:00Hello!

Hope it's better soon. Your so clever with the crochet, I don't know how. I found some other fabric for the dress, on the net, it's much nicer, but will have to wait a while as no dosh!!

I have been greatly inspired by the lovely squares that you've done over the last few weeks to the point that I have dug out my knitting and crochet with the intention of making something! Not sure what though. Looking forward to seeing your scarf and any other creations that you come up with. Happy crocheting ......

I'm touched you thought of us (funny how you start thinking of people in blog land, don't you think!) WEll, I;m also pleased to have found your lovely blog. Looks like you are a crochet diva!

Mine are still in college, but one day.....<br /><br />Love the bag - and I think you should carry it more places than the wool store!!<br /><br />I am excited to see that you are blocking my favorite squares!! I still just love those colors. Great work on all of them!<br /><br />Now just think about how much more wool you can buy when you start charging the daughter a housekeeping fee!!!!<br /><br />Susan<br />www.lifeondovehollow.blogspot.commy2girlieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639601512474101233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559591055018243942.post-59264228401534598672011-09-14T04:49:56.405+01:002011-09-14T04:49:56.405+01:00I need to get a blocking board.

I love the colors. I also took the liberty of glancing through your bookshelf in the picture.

The beauty of lining bags is that all the crappy sewing is out of sight and no one will know except you!
