glad your entering Tails. the display is so full of amazing things, what a delight.

Lindyloooooooooo !!!would so love to see you enter something if you can.

Not sure if i will enter anything. I might just run out of time, ive got a bit to get threw here at the moment with other things. but never say never.... anything can happen.

enjoy your day dolls ;D

[fantail]

Hope you are still going to have a stall
maybe its changed but webby says
Saturday 11am - 5pm
Sunday 10 - 3pm
get your sculpts there the Friday evening after 6pm or by 9 am Saturday morning. "If unable to deliver please contact the organiser for alternative arrangements"

Hope nothing bad happens before then
good thing the clay wasn't just SS- dropped a part the other day but its all good nothing broken

[blue]

Yes I shall have a stall there. will be a blast as always. Always great to catch up with the other doll ladies and such ;D

been busy dyeing mohair. sorting sparkle things and inventing things that arent normally done.....lol........ so usual crazyness my end.

Sons 4th form math is half killing me at the mo. why do i need to know the percentage of a fraction and relate that to a pie chart??? when will that info ever be used ? farrrrrrrrr........... maybe to calculate the percentage of my sanity i have left after an hour of math.

anyhow shall dash. things to make. clay to torture.

have a fabulous day ladies ;D

I am sorry not to be catching up with you at the show this year. Though about it long and hard, but the table and petrol etc. are just too much for me right now. I'll probably be at the Freemans Bay one though. In the main time I am working hard to get that baby sculpt ready for a USA competition. You've seen the head, and I have the arms and legs up to the stage where I can do more detailing. So hopefully that will work out well.
Now I had better start to do some tidying, unless Blue or Lindi can send me a bored cleaning fairy!

[blue]

Sad you wont be there this year storky but theres always next year. sigh...

as for a cleaning fairy...........what a fab idea ...... standing ever so regally next to a pile of kid bits......hmmmm....... and doll maker bits

so cannot wait to see yoru baby finished it has got to be your best yet.

went and had another glance and i love the mouth. its so much younger looking awwwwwwww the whole face is just so sweet and cute. Very best of luck- is that the comp from the mag etc ?

ok dashing again i really am busy vacuuming right now and hanging out laundry... although one would never have guessed

[fantail]

that is sad but we understand
will see you at the freemans bay one then hopefully ;D

haha blue
its to work out how much clay you have left and how much the petrol change will effect future clay prices
its impact for stats companies and who need pictures because figures mean nothing and are boring
have fun with it
use chocolate cake ;D
wait for 7th form stats
Stork good luck with the comp and getting it done on time without rushing . Enjoy ;D

ROTFL! just love it when the parents find it just as confusing as the students! (somebody hand me a shovel, I'm about to start digging!) I always tell them "well, YOU will probably NEVER need it, but do it anyway"

60% x 360 degrees = 216 degrees

blah blah blah ...

I'll be back ...

*giggle*

I'm trying to teach my year 10s Algebra at the moment - you think fractions and wotnot are bad? and ... these ones are what they call the 'behaviour' class. do you think its because they are well-behaved and polite and do everything you tell them? :-P

[fantail]

just 19 days to go Woohoo
I sent in my entry form
lets hope nothing goes wrong
Good luck Blue
hope you get as much done as you desire

[blue]

Aaah well atleast you will enter in the freemans bay competition so you will be there in essence

Oooh lots of iddy-biddies

I was wondering what Anubis has been doing-hopefully lots of sculpting
What are you doing Anubis?

[anubis4]

Good luck with the show

I too have the mid winter market this weekend should be good 163 stalls holders from all over the South Island.

So have been getting stuff made and fighting the cold...and waiting for the gangs to sort their crap out.... all in all just the norm in Invers LOL.

[fantail]

Great to hear from you Anubis
Good luck with the show this weekend and stay warm
wow that is a lot of stall holders
I don't think the Howick one is a quarter that size
hope the turn out is great and that they all buy your work ;D

[blue]

hey sweetie great to hear from you even if it is sticking your nose up from your work for 15 seconds..lmfao i imagine its mayhem at your place right now with upcomign show.....VERY best of luck I hope you have a fantastic time..wish i was there.....hope the nastys get lock jaw and cannot say nuffin and the nicies stick around a bit and oogle over your pretties finkin on you dearest. \

\whats up with the gangs in every town at the moment? cripes.....

[fantail]

To both Anubis and Blue
Don't forget to remind the people that Christmas is not too far off
and that your work will make great gifts

[anubis4]

It should be a good weekend and for the first time in there is a waiting list for stall space. Good thing I sucked up big time to the powers that be at the last show..

As for the gangs just cos its winter and they cant go outside to play in their sand pits they get grumpy. But if they start more crap this weekend then and interrupt my market they will find out what war is.

Well got some more painting to do....

[storkart]

I hope you will get us some show pictures girls. It sounds really neat. Maybe Tails can do the honours in Howick. It is always so interesting to see what else is new and what people make, very inspiring. Hope you both sell out completely and then harass Petra for more clay...hihi.

[fantail]

I'll try to get some pictures when I go pick up my sculpts but can't help Anubis
and I agree, it will be great to see your stall Anubis and maybe any other creative trends.
More clay means more sculpts

[fantail]
