...And if we can't be Good we will Be Careful.

Hope you all have a Great Holiday

Do enjoy your break, and we will promise not to get caught.

Have a lovely visit with your sister. You are always needed, but I’m sure everyone will behave until you get back. Wish I did have an eagle’s eye but am glad to be able to see.

I wasn't quite sure where to post this but i thought most people sooner or later come to the S&G so this seemed like a good place

If you are thinking of going to the London Knitting & Stitching Show in October, but haven't got your tickets yet, wait! I have three pairs of complimentary tickets to give away. I am only allowed to do so in a raffle/competition, so I'm asking people to comment or message me saying which of my four workshops they'd most like to attend (don't worry, I won't check if you'll actually book ) and then I'll draw three names at random on 15th September. So if the show is doable for you, comment or message and you'll be in with a chance of two free tickets!

I wish I could. I hope you get full classes/workshops (which I expect you will).

Hi guys, I'm baaaaack. Nothing obviously broken, all in order, so I'll sit here with a for a bit, if that's ok.

hello, welcome back, we've been good!

Course it wasn't.

Never is!

Carole

I owe everyone a drink and some stash I've been MIA nexts round or 2 is on me

WayHey!! Great to see you back! You must catch us up on all your stitching news (at least!).

And here's to the finished Night!

Soooooo good to have you back! and it was wonderful to see your finished and beautiful piece! Hope you will be sticking around for a while!

I'm following WW's excellent advice and relaxing here with in front of the fire, looking out over frosty lawn to the loch. Today is a no-cooking day. Leftovers are available whenever anyone else finally surfaces (it was a late night...). But I have brought you some Marlborough Pudding as well as pumpkin pie, made from my very own home-grown pumpkin. I was so proud!

And so you should be, wonderful to grow your own pies!

It is indeed. And may I ask what Marlborough Pudding is (could google it of course, but I'm being lazy)

Carole

Basically apples, eggs, butter and sugar in a puff pastry base. Everyone seems to love it, but frankly, I've never made it to my satisfaction. Perhaps I need a new recipe...

One that seems unbelievably simple and the females in my household love is 'Gypsy Tart'. Personally, I think it's vile, but I leave you to make your mind up:

I do love no-bake cheesecake: https://www.keep-calm-and-eat-ice-cream ... heesecake/

I love any sort of no-bake cheesecake. Can't eat it anymore, but I still love it (if you see what I mean). If you want to really give you gallbladder a workout, try this.
