I am always doing something else while cooking not normally reading though.

Many thanks for visiting and for your...Hello Daphne<br />Many thanks for visiting and for your comments! Please don't worry pop in when you can!<br /><br />You can get lessons here if you buy the sewing machine from a specialized retailer however I bought mine from Lidel. A nice cheap one and I am very pleased with it as it is exactly what I wanted something to learn on! However you don't get any lessons with it. I totally agree with you! I'm a visual learner so I pick things up easier if I can see it being done. I am making use of the numerous video clip tutorials I've found online,they help a lot!<br />Thanks for your advice always welcome.<br /><br />A xxCrafty in the Medhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365932964481050936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-58192061378454992712013-09-06T14:12:18.977+02:002013-09-06T14:12:18.977+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Crafty in the Medhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365932964481050936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-77485689332559866442013-09-04T18:52:03.530+02:002013-09-04T18:52:03.530+02:00Good Afternoon Amanda, I am sorry I have not been ...Good Afternoon Amanda, I am sorry I have not been leaving comments, but as you know my mum has been visiting and when she is with me I like to spend every moment with her. She is 83 years this month, so time is preciousl<br />The photograph of the lightning is fabulous. We used to have exactly the same type of electrical storm when we lived in Cyprus. I know what you mean about the heat, August was a month when we wanted to leave the island and visit family, but July and August were always the months everyone wanted to visit us.<br />I think your swap partner has an idea of your likes and dislikes and it will really help her. Just a thought, you mentioned you were having problems getting to know your sewing machine. Did the shop which you bought it from not offer a lesson. I bought my Brother in Cyprus and they gave me a quick half an hour tutorial. It might be worth asking, because it is always easier when someone shows you rather than reading the instructions.<br />Enjoy your cooler weather, we are having some lovely warm September weather.<br />Best Wishes<br />DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-55881144394480072282013-09-01T13:37:00.057+02:002013-09-01T13:37:00.057+02:00Fall is my knitting and crocheting season and I lo...Fall is my knitting and crocheting season and I look forward to having a ball of yarn feeding through my fingers while my kitty, Rosie, sits next to me.

Thanks so much for the insight into th...Hi Amanda!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the insight into the crafting you love to do! This is all very helpful as I am collecting things for the swap! Great minds certainly think alike - I love crochet and cross stitch!! Machine embroidery is something I would love to try but just haven't got around to it yet.<br /><br />We visited Granada in February this year, and although the evenings were bitterly cold, the daytimes saw lovely warm temperatures - didn't even need a light jacket some days. Absolutely loved my time in Spain - I hadn't been before and fell head over heels in love with the place. Granada was truly magical.<br /><br />Hope its ok to include my interests and likes here in this reply:<br /><br />Love crochet with a passion - I learned when I was about 7 years old. <br /><br />Also love cross stitch - mainly small to medium size projects.<br /><br />Hand sewing with felt is another favourite of mine, and I also really enjoyed paper-pieced patchwork. Sewing by hand is great as it takes so little time to set up and tidy away - essential in my house as I have 4 kids!<br /><br />Just starting out in quilting, very baby steps as yet.<br /><br />My favourite colours are those of the autumn - browns, dark, sagey greens, oranges, yellows, reds and black. <br /><br />So excited about this swap!!<br /><br />Helenxxmoonstruckcreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085978299766605788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-47243108306224790812013-08-30T22:20:09.222+02:002013-08-30T22:20:09.222+02:00Ηallo Amanda!!!It's still hot here in Greece!!...Ηallo Amanda!!!It's still hot here in Greece!!!<br />I like most summer but Autumn is welcome too!!!<br />Such lovely pictures!!!Have a happy weekend!!<br />Dimi...DIMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261333259454936529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-24202478466617227172013-08-30T17:24:46.103+02:002013-08-30T17:24:46.103+02:00Our temperature's only dropped by a few degree...Our temperature's only dropped by a few degrees, but we can definitely sense the fact that Autumn's on it's way - the dark's creeping up on us earlier and earlier, and some of the leaves are just starting to change colour.<br />Carly<br />xCrafted by Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286564187385653230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-45935972184556799412013-08-30T12:36:38.203+02:002013-08-30T12:36:38.203+02:00Helen and you are going to have a great time toget...Helen and you are going to have a great time together.
