I'm on the Sunshine Coast with no sunshine at the moment. Thanks for the offer but it's a good thing I'm not closer to you then my family will not see much of me and the two of us will be visiting busy embroidering.

Yes we could get so much done! I don't think we would get chatting and that would be it....hope you are having a great holiday...Hugs Sally

I am sure you will soon be back here in SA to sew out all the designs you have collected. I take my flash drive where ever I go so I can download. What a sad bunch we are!!!!!

I have my flash drive 4Gb so its big enough to take everything I'm downloading. My daughter has Windows Vista 7 on her laptop and my embroidery program won't work with it, but as I'm only downloading the files it do not think it will be a problem. Hugs

Crafters are a sad bunch - can't take them anywhere without needle and thread (or machine!!!!) Am quite new to machine embroidery although have had my Bernina 440 for over 4 years! My whole internet time is taken up look at Machine Embroidery designs! No other sites interest me - Cuties are the best!!!!

Thats for sure

by babsie 20 Nov 2010

Yes we are, but we can be sure that all crafters feels and do things the way we do and have empathy with each other. We are a nice family! Hugs for all.

not raining here either in South Australia, 2hrs up the coast from Pt Lincoln. I also have the withdrawals due to my emb. machine being at the repairers. Its been away for weeks and weeks, with still some to go. We're a sad bunch, thats for sure!!

I'm lucky with the service guy in South Africa. I only had to take my machine in once and looked on while he found the fault, fixed it and gave my baby back. Hope yours will be back soon. Oh I'm on the Sunshine Coast. Hugs

where are you in Australia, you could pop over and use mine if you like to stave off the withdrawals. lol.it is not raining here at the moment but it has been squally all day and a little cool for this time of year.<br />Alice

by babsie 20 Nov 2010

Well you are far away from Middelburg. I'm from Pretoria and are on the Sunshine Coast, pity you are far from here as well otherwise we could have visited. Hugs

Babsie enjoy the last few days of your visit. Cant wait to see all your nice work under projects next year. I am also going to pack my machines away on Monday until next year. Dont know how I am going to survive. Geniet die vryheid in Australië. Dit is nou 07:30 hier in SA

Dear Babsie,

Where are you in Australia? It is not raining here today in Newcastle (2 hours North of Sydney). They say Australia is like Africa - well we do have some of your plants here.

Love and blessings Chris

I'm far from you on the Sunshine Coast. Hugs

OH my goodness you poor dear - I will be praying that you last the trip - without have a horrible withdrawals. Plan what you will stitch and be ready - when you return home or better yet - go to one of the local shops - see if you can stitch something on one of their machines. Hehehe!
