Fabrics and Phone calls




OK so it *sounds* like alliteration ....

After a night of disturbed sleep I received a rather wonderfully long phone call from Claire this morning !!!! (eeep I didn't realise how long we'd been on until we hung up !!!!)

I love conversations that range all over different topics :) And she has a gorgeous accent and a great sense of humour and is a treasure mine of information !!!!!!

Just posting pics here and in my Fabrics album of the FOTMs that arrived in the mail a couple of days ago - this is the November selection and then in the album are both November and January - there's a light green with a faint mottling of purple (I know Chele wont pinch that one) A lovely terracotta, a beautiful mottled blue and white (TC restart 5 perhaps?) and a lovely pale warm beige .....

I'm also slowly adding more pics in my wildlife album - a possum that visited last night and a kookaburra I took pics of over New Years.

Also depending on my upload times, there will be a cute new pic of Trouble in her album at some point over the next few hours .....

Off to do a touch more on Fire Flower before posting update ......

T'was only an hour LOL....Talk about cut into my stitching time [grinz]...

Melissa Hicks said...

Oh no - not the stitching time !!! Next time ring me when you're eating or doing the laundry or something :) :) :)

PS pics mentioned above are all loaded now!

Claire EJ said...

ROFL......talk when I eat....on the phone? and try to talk and eat and laugh? not a good idea.
Laundry is usually when it's night-time Aus time and stitching time could be any time of day .....
Seen pics....comments made!!

Laura Landis said...

Sounds lovely, Mel! Glad you and Claire can chat 'in person'! So much more fun to put a voice with a name, huh?

Melissa Hicks said...

Definitely !!!! So how did you ladies go at PTP? I didn't receive a phone call {sniff} Did you remember to look for the Kermit fabric for me ??? {big pleading puppy dog eyes}

Paula Hubert said...

LOL So it seems that Claire was busy chatting this weekend! I had a lovely birthday chat, too! I was sooo surprised! (Since she'd already texted me!). It was fabulous to hear her voice! Glad you had a good weekend, Mel... I'll be checking out the pics shortly

Donna Williams said...

Good heavens, I'm so jealous! Haven't chatted with Claire in ages now... she loves YOU more...

ducking and running

Donna Williams said...

I think Laura did look at Kermit. Yes, we went, but I left my cell phone in the van and it was total choas in the shop anyway, so it wouldn't have been a good day for overseas calls. True to form, Laura managed to spend loads of MY money quite easily... Paula, I need to make sure I have your address... belated birthday present to be mailed.... eventually....

Melissa Hicks said...

Around the same time as you post out the belated Christmas Cards ??? {Mel's turn to duck and run}

Seriously glad you had a good time at the sale - so are you going to keep us in suspense or show us what you bought ?????

Melissa Hicks said...

{snort} Mum loves me more than she loves you !!!!!!

{giggle} That didn't ever work on my real mum! And Claire is going to glare at me for jokingly calling her mum even now - so I've just gotten myself in trouble - so are we even now?

Actually the scary thing is I think it is affordable for me to ring you guys too. As long as I'm ringing a land line, it will only cost me 7 cents per minute as long as I limit each call to 30 minutes in length.

Claire EJ said...

So I sat here for flipping hours waiting for you to text for nothing.....Every two minutes..."Steve, has my phone chimed?"....grrrr...

Claire EJ said...

Coughs loudly and whines about being called Mum yet again! Not amused.

Really not happy today and you're right about the glare.
Mel, you've never seen one of my patented glares...they are enough to melt ice.

Claire EJ said...

OOh and the 7c a minute...that's a good one!!!

Hilary Syddall said...

A Paddington hard stare perchance?

How is the head/back feeling today Claire? any easier?

Claire EJ said...

You mean "Paddington gave an exceedingly hard stare"? ...nah, nothing on the CEJ Patented Glare.....

Head etc....pah! Don't even go there but thanks for asking.

Paula Hubert said...

Awww {{{Claire}}}

And didja notice who HASN'T called you Mum here??? {next in line for ducking and running}

Teegs - I'll send ya my address...

Donna Williams said...

And I offer up a Thousand Apologies for that error in judgement. Once I realized I'd left the phone in the van, I was going to go get it, but it just seemed so chaotic that I knew there wouldn't be any way to have a real conversation.

Donna Williams said...

You'll have to wait until those mythical cards get mailed! No, seriously, one more item to add to a certain box and then everything should get shipped out by the end of this week. Once they've arrived, I can show stuff off, but until then, you'll just have to wait.

Claire EJ said...

Can I just say, I know there's a little Biscornu from Laura in it so feel free to show yours off!!!
