Look Who Emerged Off Of My Sewing Table..

Alright Everyone? thanks for the comments on the buttons...Ive put some to good use all ready.
a few people asked about the shop...its going very well...the decorating (which we didn't have to do...thank you Ben!!...)is almost finished and the counter is arriving this week. On Friday (pay day) El and I are going to do such a terribly exciting thing and buy our insurance! PHEW we know how to have fun around here!!Apart from that I'm trying to find some pennies to by shelves and other bits and pieces for the shop.
Actually...perhaps some of you can help me here...I'm trying to get my head around freecycle (for the sake of the shop and also for the sake of our lovely lovely new big house)...i had to put in a reason why i should join my local freecycle group which i did but i don't know if i have been accepted or not...have any of guys done it before? (Jo, i know you've mentioned it before...any hints?)If any of you could give me some advice that would be lovely!!! Once the counter is in the shop I'll take some pictures for you...if you want to see??
I'm a bit tired today (a late night staff preview of Transformers 2 to blame for that....it was good tho') but I'm kind of feeling that i cant really justify lolling around doing nothing so i made this long legged lady (long being the operative word!!)
I'm not sure on a name for her yet, but i know that she is an Olympic Gymnast from Russia..

Look at her medals (or shiny buttons...shhhh i wont tell her if you don't...)

Right....Arthur's back from his first job of the day in a bit...then its only two hours till we both head out for a shift at the Cinema, so I'm off to make some fajitas. hopefully they will shine through the murky cloudy grumpy weather.
Take Care!

  1. Great to hear all is going well with the shop. We joined freecycle a couple of years ago but it wasn't like we had to apply, we just registered and that was it. If you can log in and view the list you're there! Don't forget you can put WANTED posts on the list, for stuff you're after.

  2. She's so so lovely! Glad all is going well with the shop. Not sure about freecycle - never used it before I'm afraid.

  3. I absolutely love this - so cool, especialy the crossed arms. She could be a contortionist in her spare time.
    Glad all the plans for the shop are going well :-)
