    Although I love my "overseas" TQS friends for many things, not the least of which are their amazing quilts, I am especially fond of the new terms I learn. I've started using "tickety boo" and now I can insert "cack" into my vernacular. Being at "sixes and sevens" is a daily occurrence for me, I think. Hopefully these all mean what I think they mean!

    PS. Rosemary, go for it!

    PPS. A favorite saying my mom always used is "I'm so tired I don't know if I'm swimming or winding my watch." :dry:

          Beautiful. The colours really pop against the black background.

            Well spiders have certainly been leaving a mess behind in the sewing room. I think that sweeping the walls has to be pretty near the top of my 'not favourite to do list'...

            As an addendum to the UK/USA translation notes, to be cack-handed has nothing to do with animals, but is usually a reference to someone who is left handed, and thus is not good at using their right hand for most things.

              And this corner I am plotting to replace with a tall bookshelf (2 metres tall, which is approx 6'6") which hopefully will hold a lot of the stuff there plus some more AND make it easier to get at my fabric! DH is hoping that I will also have a mega slinging out session inch:

                    Dorothy, where are you in Montana. I live in Heron (my closest town is Sandpoint, ID).

                      Well Rosemary, you do have a bit of organizing to do. But it should be well worth the effort. I hate cleaning/reorganizing, no matter what you call it! Good luck.

                      And I can't wait to tell my husband and 2 of our kids that they are cack handed! They think I'm a bit dotty anyway.... hmy: And Wendy, I'll be sure to remember what cack is. Surely when the grandkids are here we'll see some cack left by the critters. Their parents just love it when I teach them new stuff..... haha

                      On the sewing front I pulled out 2 ufos and am currently attempting to combine them. I just may succeed!

                      Take care everyone and have a great week!

                              Managed to do some organising today :cheer:


                              I also found my original computer.....



                              Made it for my City and Guilds qualification back in '85/'86 - all computers said 'syntax error' in those days with irritating regularity.

                                Fun to organize and find treasures too. I'd forgotten about 'syntax error' from the old days!
