The 'What Makes You Happy' Thread (Part 4)

[julesapple]

Well, get your arris down here for a fitting - oh, and bring your own fabric because there's a serious amount in a circular skirt!

We have rain forecast all week, apart from Sunday which looks warm & sunnyish, with temps of 11c max but warmer on Sunday at 15c. Could do with a lot less rain......but mustn't grumble.

And what makes me happy?

The Pattern Review site - Thanks TwoSheds - you've probably saved me a fortune in fabric and my sanity in mistakes not made! Just spent two hours engrossed in the reviews and photos of my latest pattern, Vogue 2960. Definitely making a muslin of that bodice.......Just off to check out Vogue 1172 and 8874! Just love seeing everyone's finished dresses!

Glad you like it !
It's improved my sewing no end, and I'm only a free member: you get more out of it (like the forums) if you're a paying member

Is Butterick 4443 up your street? Vintage vibe, but with less fabric & fewer steps. If you want my used copy, I'll post it to you (size 38)

I'd love to knit a jumper but I'm rubbish.

Wool - it's all so pretty!

I saw a pair of siskins in the garden today on the sunflower hearts feeder. Never seen one before. Well chuffed!

Potting up an old stone trough with alpines. Followed by a bath with Charles Dowding and his organic ways. Sinful man.

Thanks, TS, but it'd be too big. Lost me boobs when I lost weight.....

I'm only a free member too, but there's still loads of helpful stuff on there, loads. I did go upstairs to find fabric to make a muslin, but then Ma phoned and we were yakking for an hour or more.

Being told by 'Miss' that I should be getting frames on 'em and getting 'em sold! T'is a big step.

Do you want mine? Would make me very happy that!

How I despised "THAT" woman.
I WILL NOT mourn her passing.

Now is a good time to be a stake holder

Jumpers aren't that hard really - I started my first one a month after I learned to knit. And I finished it. And wore it.

And it's oh so lovely wearing something you've knit yourself. In fact that's what I'm doing today!

[alldigging]

37 minutes redialling, 6 minutes listening to "you're in a queue and the doctors are all off sick so there aren't many appointments" and I finally have an appointment for much later today. Yay!

No, I've only just got used to not toppling over when I bend down

Steppping outside my comfort zone. Coming up here to The Big Smoke, 3 days of training, and meeting people from all over. Ready and not yet totally stressed, for first day at work tomorra! Awesome!
