I think buying fabric online sounds a lovely way to recuperate, and think of how stress free it is, instead of fighting through the crowds at Spotlight (passing your whooping cough to poor innocent bystanders).<br />Absolutely love your purchases, and now you don't have to cut butterflies and birds out, way to go!<br />I love the idea of handmade Xmas presents, but I have the same dilemma, none of my family appreciate handmade gifts. <br />If you are a crocheter/knitter, scarves, beanies etc are always good, but then it's totally the wrong time of year here to be given either of those when it's a bzillion degrees outside. Pincushions and pot holders are quick and easy. <br />So glad to hear you are not dying, would be completely devastated if there were no more Slack Tea Thursday posts from you.<br /><br />xxxxMarghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659940271976716013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-87785005499564364022010-09-16T06:31:59.972+09:302010-09-16T06:31:59.972+09:30Feel better soon and I am sure you can fit in a bi...Feel better soon and I am sure you can fit in a bit of sewing if you have to while you are home. I give handmade to my quilting friends and occasionally to my hairdresser & nail lady. Every now and again family gets a quilt but not very often. I remember I worked for hours on a quilt for my son a couple of years ago, he loved it my husband thought it was a stupid christmas present but basically his views on quilts on beds are a constant thorn in my side (apparently they sap the energy out of you because they are too heavy... yes and before you say it I should have had him committed years ago...this is not his only gem of wisdom he has lots).seabreezequiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210564993790938890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-49289969881670259552010-09-16T05:30:00.314+09:302010-09-16T05:30:00.314+09:30My friend just emailed me that she was diagnosed t...My friend just emailed me that she was diagnosed today! And, my brother-in-law and niece had it this summer...his was the worst case in his county! Hopefully you'll enjoy laying low this week - perfect time for Christmas shopping!<br /><br />I have done food items (I know, big surprise) - jars of hot fudge, preserves, etc. One year I got crafty and made candles....I think the etsy idea is brilliant! Good luck and keep us posted!Kirsten's Cookinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09129971420086685005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-7762043419097791162010-09-16T04:36:34.068+09:302010-09-16T04:36:34.068+09:30Oh dear, I've never actually heard of anyone h...Oh dear, I've never actually heard of anyone having Whooping Cough before. You take care of yourself. I would think stripping chairs and especially sanding would be a very bad idea for your poor lungs. Of course quilting is another thing completely, especially hand work like appliqueing. I love the 30's fabrics. I've promised myself a vintage fabric quilt if I can ever get to making stuff for myself again. Your list sounds doable. I like to make small lists so I can do extra stuff and feel like I've exceeded my expectations of myself.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778110892578808447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-72350578746097797872010-09-16T03:27:34.933+09:302010-09-16T03:27:34.933+09:30Sorry to hear you're being whupped by da Whoop...Sorry to hear you're being whupped by da Whoopy cough! That's a real nasty bug--hope the rest does you good. Quilting is relatively sedentary, maybe you could carry on a bit with that? I just spent my two days home sick sewing!<br /><br />I have done homemade lots of times. Usually I do small things like Christmas tree ornaments or cardholders. We don't exchange gifts in my huge family anymore but I like to make special things from time to time.AnnieOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619125197850685345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-61338868967323710822010-09-16T02:20:31.544+09:302010-09-16T02:20:31.544+09:30I've already had da whoopy cough.

The nasty early 70's pollutants and germs in the urban jungle gave me it then. <br /><br />I don't really do many handmade gifts either, for the same reason. They are never truly appreciated and it not that I'm looking for the praise but if the reciever doesn't really get the cost in materials, time and love put into them, whats the point?Shevvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597474715523695213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-79605058600361203652010-09-16T00:38:15.929+09:302010-09-16T00:38:15.929+09:30OMG Please tell me where you got the Picnic Parade...OMG Please tell me where you got the Picnic Parade fabric.

Of course, I realised one year that you don't have to make it all yourself. There's always etsy or madeit and that can make a handmade Christmas much more doable.

I've heard it was making a comeback since the vaccinations don't last all of our lives and a lot of people are choosing not to vaccinate their kids.<br /><br />Okay, if I were making hand-made gifts (won't happen this year), I'd do something I *know* everyone uses--pot holders, tea towels with added embellishment, special pillow cases, that sort of thing. Not everyone is a table-runner kind of person, and quilts are too large to make on short notice (at least for me).<br /><br />Get a lot of rest this week. We need our Mrs. P. healthy!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805403370463885686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-21134718546539066342010-09-15T23:06:22.500+09:302010-09-15T23:06:22.500+09:30May just need to add some of that fabric to the st...May just need to add some of that fabric to the stash - I like IT!<br /><br />Hope you are feeling better soon - Whoopy cough does not sound like fun, but better than what you imagined - Huh??<br /><br />Rest and enjoy your hours of surfing (shopping).Misteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041179627345053724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-7747102206930535802010-09-15T22:06:12.704+09:302010-09-15T22:06:12.704+09:30Oh Dear Whooping Cough!!!

Bugger :-)<br />Jodie over at Ric-Rac had whooping cough and she coughed so much she was sick in the street....( check out her blog she has a wicked sense of humour http://vintagericrac.blogspot.com/) I hope you are not that bad! Rest up and take it easy....plenty of time to browse the net and tell Mr P that the aussie dollar is 94cents now so its perfect timing...was meant to be! Got to be some rewards for feeling so crap :-)<br /><br />Thanks for the link and my idea of good handmade presents are something that is useful so my lot are getting slippers, washcloths, teacosies, scarfs, beanies or just a cute toy! I have to tell you though that the boys are getting OTHER materialistic presents as well...I can just see their faces if they got another knitted rabbit...Waaahhhhhh :-)<br /><br />PS Nice fabric purchases!Baa-Me Kniitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532601173550095905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-83529626361776807712010-09-15T21:13:28.955+09:302010-09-15T21:13:28.955+09:30SOQIMP says:

It's on the rise here in the States. I really hope LittleGirl doesn't bring it home from school! Get lots of rest and take care of yourself. Do you have a vaporizer/mister? That always seems to help soothe the lungs. <br /><br />I love the fabric! I'm not a big online shopper, but Fabric.com keeps sending me these wonderfully enticing advertisements. I may have to give it a try. <br /><br />What is the Book Depository? Is that a Lending Library? Truly hope you feel much better soon. Hope the doc gave you some good drugs to fight the cough too! :o) <a href="www.seamsinspired.com" rel="nofollow">Larri at Seams Inspired</a>Larrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551141093395055894noreply@blogger.com
