I've run out of excuses! What do I do now?

[Nelle]

Yeah I might have to Lu - although I do live really close to Raven and Daydream Believer who are handy with their machines, maybe we can barter, almond maracoons for help or something.

Sunflowa, thanks for the advice. I too am a fan of the motto 'what could possibly go wrong', and I think God might see it as a challenge.

Thank goodness I can sort of cook - otherwise I'd be completely without practical creative skills. I can sing, but what good is that? 'Oh no, we're naked and starving with no shelter - oh I know, Nelle, why don't you sing us a ditty?'

LOL - well, at least you're pretty to look at (judging by your av)! I find that covers a lot of housewifely sins

[Nelle]

Oh mercy don't judge me by my av! For starters, I don't live anywhere near water!

[Rouge]

Oh she's prettier in person than in her av I assure you

Let me know how you go. I borrowed a friends sewing machine for a school project, never got it out of the box and ended up using hem tape LMAO! So I'm hopeless... hey I'll just stick to all things kitchen for now.

[Nelle]

Oh Rouge, stop it, I'll get a big head and THEN how will Trillian go with my avatar if it doesn't fit!

Lol at the hemming tape, my mum uses that too! I am happy for you to stick to all things kitchen Rouge, as long as I can be your padawan.

I remember at Primary school I was jealous of the kids whose mum's used hemming tape For some silly reason I thought there was something wrong with having a hand stitched hem. Now, of course, I know better and have even completely handsewn a whole dress.

[Mak]

How about some Santa sacks for the kids?
Good luck - I have some knitting here that is seriously not going to get done before next winter!
