Looking back in the Archives it seems to be at lease 2.1/2 years since we had a general Roll Call, so that newbies can see who we all are. I know when I first joined I found it really useful.
Here is mine - updated a bit - how time flies.
Retired to the Suffolk coast in England from Nottingham in 2001, so of advancing years!
Two big children, neither still at home. Richard 32 has lived with his girlfriend and her three children for 3 years so it seems pretty permanent. He works in computers (thank goodness!). Rachel is 36 and lives with her husband Tim, an airline pilot, in central England. DH Mike is into ornithology in a big way - birdwatches, rings birds for migration stats, does conservation work, so I am left to stitch! (and garden.
QI Inspector No 1 is Hodge who is a white cat with a grey tabby mask, hat, cloak and tail. He is assisted by 1 year old Mia (who is black and white and would rather be doing other things), and her brother Kiwi who shows great promise. Kiwi was supposed to be all black, hence his name the New Zealanders will understand. However, he is a bit of a clown so has developed a long very fluffy brownish fringe around his body, a big mane like a lion and an enormous tail. He has retained his pitch black face and legs though!
Have sewed for ever, lots of embroidery, but only started quilting when my sister died and left me her board, rotary cutter, lots of bits and pieces and small stash. She only had one or two bits unfinished but I thought I would learn to use the board and cutter so I could finish her things properly. However.... the stash has grown and so has the pile of UFOs - and I seldom embroider!
I will have a new photo session when I have finished the tops of the baby quilts I am currently doing for the children of two friends who are going to be Grannies in the summer. I am green with envy!
Chocolate - officially nil as I am dieting, but after my weigh-in this morning I have a small bar hidden in the fridge. A friend told me the best diet is to eat sensibly and slowly only when you are hungry, and to stop when you are full. I intend to be hungry this evening!
So .. open to everyone else!
