As Cornwoman wrote 'Now I want to > know more about each of you! Please tell!!
and we seem to have a flurry of new posters, is it time for a general Roll Call, so that newbies can see who we all are.
So here is mine:
Retired to the Suffolk coast in England from Nottingham in 2001, so of advancing years!
Two big children, neither still at home. Richard 33 has lived with his girlfriend and her three children for 5 years so it seems pretty permanent. He works in computers (thank goodness!). Rachel is 37 and lives with her husband Tim, an airline pilot, in central England. She has her own Personal Training business, but I think she has given up having a beautifully slim and fit mother!
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 2 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 grows a long very fluffy brownish coat for winter, with a big mane like a lion and an enormous tail. He retains his pitch black face and legs though! In the summer he is black and short haired and looks considerably smaller.
Have sewed for ever, lots of embroidery, but only started quilting about
6 years ago 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 things 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've just had a sort out of my Webshots, so its fairly up to date. At the moment I am concentrating on the 'Singing the Blues' and have spent the evening appliqueing leaves - lots and lots of leaves!
Chocolate - officially nil as I am dieting, but ........ (Personal Trainer is too far away to see!).
So .. open to everyone else!
