    I make custom draperies and roman shades and slip covers and cushion covers and on and on but no clothing. I call my wee company the House Dressing because I dress houses not people :snork: I will once in awhile make clothes but only for personal or family use...

    I usually have 10 or 12 obsolete sample books per quarter and I give them and leftover fabrics to a friend whose group make hand bags and shopping bags which they sell and then use the proceeds to buy quilting fabric which they use to make quilts for people with cancer. They make a quilt a week using the funds from my fabric donations. I usually purchase at least 1/2 yard extra fabric for each project (out of my own money) and every 3 or 4 months I load up her car with these. I also receive hanging samples donated by Robert Allen Fabrics. Sometimes there are literally cases of them. You'd have fun in my workrooms. My industrial machines go like race cars on jet fuel :)

        Aloha everyone,

        @wiseowl that's good Bouncability news :hapydancsmil:

        I've been spending time deleting old emails. It may seem like an easy job but with between 50 and 150 emails coming in every day it becomes quite difficult. Between us we have somewhere in the region of 20,000 stored :hate-shocked: and seems to take forever to delete the ones that are no longer needed.

        I haven't got around to going through our holiday photos to delete rubbish and duplicates. Another tedious job! :doh: I think I'll start on them now.

        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

        Aloha!

          Good morning WW'ers :spinning:

          @wiseowl - :hapydancsmil: :hapydancsmil: :hapydancsmil:

          @shiney - you need a secretary [​IMG]

          @CanadianLori - what a wonderful idea with the sample book handbags and the charity quilts. I love the name too :dbgrtmb:

          It is a wet, breezy start weather-wise here but the forecast is for sunshine in the afternoon.

          Healing vibes for those who need them and miles of smiles to all xxMxx

              Good Morning all, taking its time to get light this morning, guess it is because it is so damp and horrible out there. Not sure if it has stopped raining yet. will soon find out when I take Amber out in a little while.
              WOO so very pleased to hear you have got a little of your bouncibility back, keep on doing whatever you are that is working.
              Shiney, don't envy you sorting all that mail and photos out. Stick at it you'll get there.
              Have a good day everyone, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well, God bless. :wub2:

                    Morning early people :)

                    Cloudy here but I can see a little bit of blue sky, winds dropped :phew:

                    More glass to cut then start soldering the windows back together.

                    Think the Boys coming down today :)

                    Have a good day everyone and don't be daft :)

                      Afternoon all :spinning:

                      A bright sunny one, been in the garage and sown some seeds. :thumbsup:

                      Not much doing this weekend, just the usual.

                      Make it a good one. :doggieshmooze:

                          Goodday everyone
                          The clouds are parting and we're expecting daytime temps above freezing all weekend. I nice little break.
                          I'm going to be playing with pots today and just generally potter around...:)

                          Have a safe day all.

                            Yeah, silly o'clock.:sad:

                            Shadow got me up, needing the loo, so I decided to feed him as well. :)

                            So then I thought I would look on the computer, and the time just flies by :whistle:

                            Bad night, back pain, did not drop off until around 2am.:thud:

                            So another day starts. :love30:

                            Have a warm one. :doggieshmooze:

                              Gooooood morning WW'ers

                              @liliana - pop the kettle on and we'll have an early cuppa together :coffee: Sorry to hear you are in pain and having a bad night. Hope the pain eases quickly and you get a moment to catch up on some sleep :grphg:

                              I'm an early riser today too (been up since 3am :heehee:) but it does mean that I've managed to complete another project I've been working on :phew: Not that there was any hurry, but it's always nice to get another job out of the way.

                              Ozzy's limp seems to have gone now :fingers crossed: but he's taking advantage of my sympathetic nature (and my being in the office) to make himself comfy on *my* bed :doh: Cheeky sausage! Haven't the heart to move him at the moment though :redface:

                              I'm out for lunch today so that will be a nice treat :spinning:
