New hens not going into Eglu Go Up

[Snowy]

Lesley has been having computer problems. She should be back online in the next day or so and ready to sort out our swaps

[Lesley]

Thanks Snowy - yes, we've had computer problems followed by problems with our electrics......which upset our computer network......

 

I'm back now and will add newcomers to the list and I need addresses from quite a few people.........as soon as I have addresses I'll get Carl to do the draw and PM you all with addresses.

 

I think I said in the first post that posting date will be 20th February - that gives those of us who have yet to make a start ( ) another two weekends.

 

I'll try to get round to PMing those whose address I still need, as long as the electrics don't trip again...........

[Lesley]

These are the names I have - if I've missed anyone off, please shout quickly.......

I need one more address and have PMd that person, as soon as I have all addresses I'll let you all know who you're making for........

I've sent all the swappee details now - hope I've got them right

If any of the addresses look odd please PM me to ask if I've typed it correctly

 

If anyone still needs inspiration then put Inchies into Google Images........lovely stuff and also great ways of using them and hanging them.

[Lesley]

OK - whose idea was this!!!??

 

I'm really struggling to get mine down to one inch

[Goosey Lucy]

Me too!

[Plum]

Do what I did with first. Make it 4 ins then chop in four

[Goosey Lucy]

I can't, it's a bit tricksy

 

Am getting there now though although my eyes will never be the same again

[bluekarin]

I've cut out squares about 2 inches square in size, joined together with bonding stuff (iron on) and then cut it down to an inch in size. I had a real problem cutting fabric on its own to a square 1 inch square

[Plum]

One of mine was extremely, supremely fiddly....................why did I try that?

[Snowy]

I did a roughly 5" square, then cut it to 4 x 1 1/4" squares. So mine are a fraction bigger.

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Why, Snowy you rebel

 

I keep changing my mind ....how unusual

[purple hen]

I agree tis very fiddly but totally addictive

[freddie]

Now, I've completely fluffed up. I've made 4, but as a set of 4, can I bear to split them up, or do I just make some more......

[Lesley]

- that sounds like me - I've made 8 but kept wailing "I can't give this one away" all afternoon

 

I'm not using fabric so it was a bit more tricky than just cutting them out - fun though. I'm using my oversizes to make cards and gift tags

 

Like GL, I don't think my eyes will ever recover

[Sam Palmer]

Why have inches never looked so small on a ruler???

[craftyhunnypie]

I thought that too. Doing inch squares is really hard to stick to!

[Lesley]

I'm afraid some of mine are going to be a little bit over size

[Plum]

Can we do 2" next time, pretty please

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Would a 2in sq not be a set of 4, still attached

[Plum]

cough

[Goosey Lucy]

Right, I've made the bits, now all I need to do is assemble them and work out if/how to present them

[Plum]

Assemble what do you mean. You've made something that's going to end up an inch big and you assemble it magnifying glass in the post

[Goosey Lucy]

 

Can't say too much or it will be obvious to whoever the lucky recipient is that I made it. I did say my eyes will never recover...

 

But I am feeling quite pleased now. Or should that be relieved?

[Snowy]

Golly mine aren't that intricate - I couldn't see to add anything else
