Mrs Frugal Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Love the black shoes on the far left front row! I've had those on my Amazon wish list for ages . Who bought those? Diane, I'll try to get in touch once the weather's improved a bit as we've got snow/ice forecast again next week and we saw a van upside down in a ditch on our way to Wakerley for a quick walk this morning. Scared ? Moi ? Yes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 It would probably look better in more subtle colours and with a smaller pompom on top. Nooooooo.....I want one exactly like yours! I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Kate, the black ones front row are mine!! All the shoes were £20, the short boots £25 and long boots £30!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Oh Cathy - I so want to steal your new green Docker boots! They are so fantastically cool! I am the same shade as them with envy! I also love the Minnie Mouse hat - just brilliant! I think I'd have fit in well with all your madness & wine drinking. So sorry to hear your news Omletina - but hope you enjoyed the company of good friends. Are you all sure you did some crafting ? & didn't just shop & booze?

Couperwife Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 did you know that omletina has shares in doc martins and is on commission for every one she sells im sure of it and she also takes you there "just for a look..." and well, we all know what that means cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I think that means you need to take a big bag and lots of money with you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I love the special hat Snowy I have one similar, but am not talented enough to have knitted it myself I'll try to remember to wear it next time we meet up. Omletina, may I have the details for the Doc Martens shop? I love them myself, but Rosie loves them even more and it's hard to get shoes which fit her square troll feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I love the special hat Snowy I have one similar, but am not talented enough to have knitted it myself I'll try to remember to wear it next time we meet up. Omletina, may I have the details for the Doc Martens shop? I love them myself, but Rosie loves them even more and it's hard to get shoes which fit her square troll feet I'm trying to work out the pattern Claret I need to get to that DM shop myself. I believe they are good for square troll feet, mine are the same! I had to buy a recent pair of boots from Clarks in size 5 instead of size 3 because the width was so skimpy Omletina had to get smaller sizes in the DMs as they are a tad more generous. Maybe we should have another get together there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Good call Snowy, shall I see when I'm free and drop you an email to see if we can meet up? Rosie now has bigger feet than me - she takes a 4, and hers are very wide, as opposed to my narrow feet. I have trouble getting her shoes to fit, which she considers 'cool' enough to wear, especially for school, wheer they have to wear 'proper' shoes. Do they have cake anywhere near there?

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Are you all sure you did some crafting ? & didn't just shop & booze? Emma.x Oh yesh! I made: A pair of earrings A felt ball necklace A felt ball bracelet A felt ring A minnie mouse pompom hat A felted ear-cover hat (like the one's everyone got from Sweden last year) A neck collar/scarf thingy Fingerless (but thumbed) mittens A random orange pom pom A slanket Snowy did: A bit of hat Earrings Pom poms Felt Couperwife did: Wine DMs Pom poms? Omletina did: An amazing felt shapes hanging And much felty tutoring. And of course we had some wine Couperwife bought because I'd never have been allowed to buy the patent black boots, oxford red boots, brown and red shoes and suedey slipper shoes. Oh no. Not me. Super weekend! Yay for Omletina! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 erm, why was the thing I did most wine?????? and I think Mrs Chickeeeeeenn, that you bought the same amount of DMs as wot i did I recall Snowy was the one with the slight fuzzy feeling and I was up first both mornings I did mega felting I also knitted quite a bit i finished a white square for charity cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I remember quite a bit of wine being drunk, I have to say..... You finished a chicken dishcloth for me, Couperwife, which will never see service on any plates but will look pretty hung up somewhere!!

I love them myself, but Rosie loves them even more and it's hard to get shoes which fit her square troll feet OK, the Doc shop is as follows: The Doc Shop High St Wollaston Tel 01933 664851 It's open Wednesday to Saturdays from 10.30 - 4.00 I think an Omlet meeting there sounds like a great idea!!

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Oh I was implying that we were all angels so we had to blame someone and as you have by far the most innocent face... Dang. Foiled. Yes! The mega-felting! So we did silly amounts of crafting. We should open a crafts and doc shop! OH approved all DMs. Phew!

The Dogmother Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks for the Docs shop details Omletina, I'll let you know when Snowy and I get a date sorted. Anyone else who wants to come would be more than welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 The last pair of DMs we had in our house were a darling little pair of purpley ones with pink & black hearts on & were DD's last pair of non-regulation school shoes.....after that they had to be boring black & easily done up...which these certainly weren't for the average 3/4 year old .....they looked fantastic when teamed with a ballet leotard & wrap with blond bunches though Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 OK, OK, here's my crafty results: Earrings courtesy of Couperwife: My loops leave a bit to be desired but hey, the beads are pretty! Felty goodness: Not sure what to do with it yet - I might just frame it The boys have tried to pinch my 'special' hat: I discovered today that sewing on pompoms whilst under the influence is not a good idea. I'd sewn it on inside out. So I've redone it tonight A ChickychickychickEnns fab pompom hat: Am just waiting for the video of the felting demo to upload.
