ustomer famous uk actress ring me from the train at 0630 to profusely thank me for getting her breakfast and tea made in literally four minutes so she could get to london on time when it is all hands to the pumps and there is a mahoosive queue out the door of our little cafe it is moments like these that keep me plugging away posted by trash at 15 48 5 comments friday 20 march 2015 total eclipse 2015 today there is a solar eclipse visible from my hilltop we are in the 95 zone it is just starting now and the sky is getting dark i suppose my hilltop is covered with cloud we have a full eight octas of cloud cover nothing is getting through sigh instead i am watching these guys http new livestream com accounts 8724297 events 3807156 player width 560 height 315 autoplay true mute false space geeks geeking out about the solar eclipse am loving it posted by trash at 08 53 no comments monday 9 march 2015 my hero today was the second last football soccer match of the season and we played 25 miles away from home in the course of this season we have gone from unplaced to second in the division a win today meant we would be going up into division one our lads played strong from the start they had fire in their bellies and kicked hard i am the shouty parent on the sideline i confess i am especially shouty at the defence because that is where the boychild plays and i get to holler all sorts of advice to him that probably runs contrary to what his coach has told him because i have absolutely no understanding of the rules however as a shouty parent i am in the good guys camp because i only shout out good and positive comments and i clap the opposition goals and good plays but my voice is loud and i don t pause for breath very much yes you all probably would hate to be on the sidelines with me we gave one of the lads a lift today i have known this boy since he was 18 months old he is ummm a one off he feels things deeply is fiercely competitive and has very little fear he is a whirling dervish powered by a category four cyclone he plays like a really really angry terrier in full chase mode he had a rough first half as he bounced an own goal into the net but full credit to him he pulled it together dashed away the tears no one was supposed to see and got his head back in the game the opposition were a physical team a big physical team i disagree with the base defensive strategy of our coach and spent a lot of this afternoon s match shouting at our lads to push forward be a bit more aggressive in their defence it didn t work despite my and lots of the other parents vocal encouragement the result was 2 1 truth be told we were swizzed because one of their goals was from a free kick that shouldn t have been awarded as we always do the boychild and i had a post match post mortem on the way home my cyclonic dervish friend joined in he asked what i had thought when the other team were rude about me being the shouty parent when i said i hadn t heard it he told me it was when he got pulled aside by the referee and told to adjust his attitude i think the exact words were even if he commits the foul if you get up and punch him then it goes against you apparently the boy on the other team had been mouthing off at my vocal support for my hilltop team and sir cyclone of dervish came to my aid as his mum told me later he was funny i quizzed him when i saw your lovely post on the hilltop team facebook page and he explained that he d never stand for some stupid kid bad mouthing trashy he s your 1 fan he might be only five foot four but my hero is a giant to me posted by trash at 01 39 6 comments saturday 9 august 2014 for sue festival of quilts birmingham 2014 dear sue given the state of your head when they walked you off into the first aid room at the nec i figured there was a strong chance you wouldn t be back to attend the festival this year so i thought if i wrote up what i saw it might give you some idea of the event firstly may i ask after your husband he was looking a little bit pale and wan as he helped you up from your tumble by the path i can understand why that hen s egg sized lump above your eye was enormous and getting bigger by the minute couldn t be sure exactly how big because i hadn t yet purchased one of those bloc loc rulers which was on my list but it was definitely over an inch proud of your head you should know i think you were terribly brave in fact all of us who could see just what had happened thought it once you were away from gawping nec workers and the bossy aussie holding a tissue to the badly grazed duck egg sized lump over your eye and safely ensconced inside the first aid room i hope you let rip and flooded the room with tears a little bit of wailing and teeth gnashing wouldn t have gone amiss either and then again in the ambulance they better have called for you because chica you needed to be pumped full of the strongest analgesics possible before getting that goose egg sized lump x rayed fingers crossed your orbital bone wasn t fractured and that the lump the size of an emu egg was merely really ace fake make up anyway once into the festival of quilts the first thing visible were unsurprisingly rows and rows of quilts on display plus the quilting guilds booths not being a quilting guild i ignored them because you know not me but oh sue the teeny weeny mini quilts people made were sooooo fabliss and stunning the pieces in this are so little sue you seemed to have 20 20 vision so you probably wouldn t have had to squint but i saw a few older women leaning in for a closer peer actually this was one of the bigger minis there were some that must have been about six inches square don t tell anyone but i can imagine having a bash at a teeny one and possibly maybe entering it at foq 2015 let s make a deal sue you physically get yourself through the doors at the nec next year and i will have a micro mini on display for you to look at this one was maria s favourite no i wasn t surprised either i don t know about you sue but every year on the way up to foq we say we must buy a programme and every year we are so excited to just get in there and see everything we don t as a consequence we venture up and down the aisles and get lost and confused and spend too much money double back on ourselves see loads of stuff and miss even more these were some of the quilts that worked for me there were loads of stunning quilts technically fabulous quilts funny haha quilts funny peculiar quilts some modern art quilts and a few i confess i looked at and just thought hmmm the ones in this collage aren t those all of these spoke to me i know i know a little bit pseud s corner but they just did all of them were extremely clever in their construction quilting or use of colour and that london modern quilt guild one is all of that i think it was by judi kirk i may be misremembering her name but she was one of the desk jockeys at the modern quilt guilds section of that quilt guilds booth office place right up the front the spools was a feast of liberty chosen by an expert eye and i couldn t help but smile as i went passed it it feels as if it has been made with a lot of love if you actually know who made it sue please tell them how it gives me a little glow when i look at this picture and if it was made with much swearing and crossness i don t have to know i wish the lighting in the venue had been better because this photo does not do justice to the colours at all that skullington is creepily magnificent or you know magnificently creepy clever clever pattern designer and good work exhibiting sewist if they are different people the general consensus of people drifting past it was it was clever but they were feeling a little hypnotised looking at it given the headache you undoubtedly have it is probably a good idea you avoided actually looking at this one sue the bottom right was a winner for me because of the colour choice being so totally in contrast to the traditional block and the festival is a little bit about the shopping isn t it i hope that all your spending money can be used in your local fabric shop or you could always convert it to paypal which we all know is free money and spend it online if so i would thoroughly recommend magee donegal tweed normally tweed has a slightly rough edge right no matter how flash the brand you always know it is going to smell of wet dog and wee if you get caught in the rain not that it is such an unpleasant smell almost weirdly comforting but still not the parfum de choice for most but this family firm has cracked it delicious colours that had us fizzing around the stall touching everything we possibly could because it was all so soft so incredibly soft like a tweed blanket created by weaving unicorn tails as i said delicious do you think i bought any sue no because i am a dumbass i couldn t chose which one to go for and what to do with it if i could some might call it an intervention by my pennypinching tightwad conscience i call it left brain bastardry i think we can all agree foq is not about logical thinking earlier in the week i had pulled out every piece of fabric my husband thinks i own and sorted it there was a big mess in the kitchen i have to confess and as i cleared it all up and folded it into its new boxes i realised there is practically no yellow searching through the shop stands i could see why most of it was manky wrong tones babyish patterns smelled funny you know the sort of thing just not right and then we saw this stand fair trade fabric as if i wasn t already sensorially blissed out from the tweedy people i then got to play with this cotton soft beautiful drape tonal like oakshott but more delicate i will definitely be shopping online with them sue maybe you could have a little look there to spend some of your free pounds given the size of the nec it must be possible to actually spread the shopping streets out because there were so many people everyone jockeying to get past the knots of women oohing over fabric stroking fabric watching the demonstration of some gadget to do with fabric i think that shopping hall was a bit like the internet the feeling of anonymity in the shuffling mob lets people do things they would never do in real life i was pushed in the back by so many white haired old ladies with enormous bags to get me to move forward that at one point i turned and said i cannot move you are behind me the lady in front of me is standing still and cannot move and is blocking my path to the side what would you like me to do she kind of sniffed a little bit glared at me then turned into the serpent her soul yearned to be and slithered off in the other direction sue if you had been declared fit enough to be let loose they might well have suggested you use one of the nec s mobility scooters i love mobility scooters they are a brilliant invention that has given so many people freedom to be a part of their community and in charge of their own lives my mother has had cause to use one when travelling and my lovely neighbour in the front house would be housebound without hers i really do think they are great but the scooters provided by the venue were huge proper off roady type ones with a long wheel base and hubs big enough to ferry small children not ideal for the incredibly confined space of the shopping hall plus i don t think many of the riders had much experience just sayin let s not mention those cuboid hard plastic trollies being pulled behind people have you been to the festival before sue just like last year we went off to the side hall to have lunch there were tables and chairs to sit and relax before heading back into the fray of the main halls except this year there weren t how ridiculous so we sat on the floor beside a booth and had our picnic this was less than ideal especially for those with a dodgey arthritic knee i know there were benches dotted about the place but it isn t the same we only met briefly sue but i am sure you would be impressed at my restraint when later i passed mr twisted threads the organiser of the whole event and did not collar him with my complaint our day was only halfway through but i imagine your eye is now completely swelled shut and your head must be pounding i hope the ambulance arrived really quickly love love trash posted by trash at 22 14 4 comments tuesday 29 july 2014 ten ace things that happened at fat quarterly retreat 2014 1 i arrived without melting my word but london was hotty mchot hotpants that weekend 2 the goody bags had water bottles in them so we didn t require medical rehydration for the participants 3 the goody bags these were filled with the awesomeness cool postcard loads of fabric amazing aurifil thread one of those ace mini sewing kits you keep saying you don t need but still hunt for when emergency button reattachment is required en route to a job interview is that just me and elastic which always comes in handy when you spend any time with children i m guessing there was more but i lost focus after spotting the elastic 4 janome lending out five bazillion sewing machines for fqr folk to use freely 5 meeting ace new people some of them i had been chatting with for aaages on instagram and flickr but had never actually shared air with others met for the first time in any platform or reality 6 sleeping with two different women over two nights marg and sonia were fabliss roommates for the weekend and didn t even complain very much when i had fifty twelve showers in three days by the time fqr came about we had been without showerage at trash towers for two weeks i was getting a might twitchy because if an occasional bath was a poor substitute for a shower then crappy little birdy bath washes were so far outside the pale as to be invisible can i just stress that hairwashing over the sink is a stupid idea and not be countenanced as soon as polite the hotel shower was put to use and that baby got cranked all the way up to 11 bliss and contentment 7 learning stuff like how to be an octopus when rolling fabric onto a lampshade the thrill of knowing all the answers to the quiz before the questions are even asked and how to limbo around all the cables in the sewing rooms all the cool things 8 the sample swap working cannot even begin to express my relief that i managed to get everyone into a group and there was no repetition of the 2012 zakkafest that everyone was happy with their swap groups and that the handmade crafty goodness being passed around left smiles on all the participants faces let s not even mention that i had to spend half of one saturday class rewriting the group list as the master one was sitting back on the desktop of my computer all the way back on my hilltop 9 my beloved concierge at the grange hermitage ruben he was a helpful calm friendly pleasant and hander outerer of umbrellas when the rain came beating down first thing saturday morning the tip wasn t much but i hope the tunnocks teacake you received as well stoo...
