Hi Rose, I didn't do the dress because I already did it with the blue dress.

Hi Ann, i still haven't got round to writing about 'the dress' , so might skip that and just go with 'nostalgia' :))

Thankyou for part 8,

xx

I think it might be 'was' now Daff, I think it might have closed now, the shop that is.

Love

~Morning all:) With apologies for sending TWO pieces out today, it's just that when I finish something I want to 'dispose' of it at once! lol But they are not too long:)) BC

wmsl..... Ann, trust me to come in half way through, lolol.... I almost put my dress into Littlie's dressing up box, recently.... but brought it back out!! S'all right, I'll use it again (not the dress, at size 12 those days are over!!)... I have a picture theme running through at the moment... just need another sleepless night to work on it in my head... truly, it seems that is when my ideas come to fruition!! Then I am too knackered the next day to type it all up, lolol!

One question though.... you know that area, sort of square, in Gloucester town centre... it looks as though there might have been pools and a fountain there once upon a time.... what is it called? My picture story is based on a little shop that is just there..... sells lovely prints and frames and stuff.....

Love

Daff xxxxx

* smugly* I have done a piece on a picture!!

Already done the dress Daff, can repeat it if you like. I don't think the picture is set in stone, just if we want to do it. Do the dress Daff, why not?

Hi Mau

Copied and pasted this from Rose....from last week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thursday suggestion if anyone wants a 'topic'

'If a picture paints a thousand words...'

Take a favourite painting ( or photo perhaps) and look at it for a while then write a story / poem about it. (or explanation of why it moves you perhaps ) You can write about the actual painting or take the theme of the painting as the theme of your story.

For a rough example, and maybe one everyone will know,' The Mona Lisa'...what made her smile? lol

I have a watercolour of a woodland glade ( the most expensive object I have ever bought 'for me') I always feel someone or something has just left the scene and if i just look quickly enough......


Maggie :))

Have we a set-piece for this week girls? anyone any ideas? :O)

With our third 'leader' on leave lol I feel like singing

"Ten green bottles hanging on the wall
Ten green bottles hanging on the wall
And if one green bottle should accidentally fall
There'd be nine green bottles hanging on the wall . . ."
