Better wear some of it to our next meet up. Any pics of you?

as for wearing it for our next meet up - it depends on whether my 'pair of bodies' (corsets to you :wink: ) still fits, I've lost just over a stone, and come down about a size and a half in trousers (uk 18's were too small on me at the beginning of the year, now I am into 16's ) By the way my cream & white jacket was tambour embroidered and entirely hand made in about 2 months flat - I needed it done for a banquet, the dust bunnies bred very well for those 2 months! :wink:

Wow you are all amazing and your jacket is gorgeous.

I think we should have a caption competition for what your dog is thinking

"Those musketeers are rubbish, I've watched them fire hundreds of shots and they've missed every time! There is never anything for me to fetch!"

Did I tell you about the time that I was up on the Sugarloaf (a mountain up the road from where I live here in Wicklow) and it was such a fine day that I was able to see Wales across the Irish Sea. I was so excited that I decided to dash home and get DH and DD to come have a look as it was the only time I had ever seen it. We drove back up the mountain and stood looking over towards Wales with DD very excited. After a while she said "I can't see anything, how many were there Mum?"

Hereford is not too far from Cardiff, (quite a good Train service) Doughty's in Hereford have quite a good selection of Quilting fabric. Worth a look if you are ever in town.

Thank you, Mellymoo. We have never been to Hereford, very amiss I know, so we have better make up for it! I will of course need to bring back a souvenir or 5 to make a "Hereford" quilt

Stunning outfits, Rosemary. The number of hours you must have spent making them :!: Labour of love I am sure.
As for your dog and what he/she (?) might have thought: As long as you remember my biscuits and my scoop bags, you can dress however you like!

We always thought that he would have mugged his own grandmother for biscuits :wink:

I've never come across a dog who wouldn't :P I have never understood dog owners who said their dogs didn't like a treat. Mine have always been ready to open wide when it came to treats. Uhm - maybe it is right what is being said about dogs being like their owners or is that the other way around? :lol:
