Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 Hiya Rob... Finally, I was wondering how you were going!!!! Good to see you are in fine spirits and back at work... even though it sounds hectic and exciting all at the same time. Masks... you can buy kits at some of the craft shops and toy shops... and some toy shops actually sell them ready done. It is much more fun to make one though!!!! Just "google" masquerade masks and see what comes up, there is bound to be something. Good on you for thinking about buying a machine. I hate paying people to take up pants just that 2 cm! Costs a bomb to have alterations done. When you buy a machine it will come with lessons if you buy at the right place. I got 12 free lessons with my machine last year... And you have reminded me to get my half made quilt out and get onto it again. Have a nice ball on Friday evening... Mel >> Hi Everyone> Well I am now back at work, have had 2 very hectic afternoon shifts and was off today and went to The Craft Show at Darling Harbor, had a great day with one of my old work mates , who is happily retired and is very happy with her Seniors Card, of which I do not have the privilege of having "Bugger" $3 return fare to Sydney compared to my $21 "Double Bugger" Have been looking at buying a sewing machine, I have always wanted to get into quilting, plus I want to be able to do my own things like hemming etc, so I will take lessons and hopefully be able to not rely on people or pay exorbitant amounts of money to get my pants hemmed.........> > My first shift back was actually hilarious, at 9pm we heard ever increasing sirens coming closer, only to hear what appeared to be many, coming into the centre, well we think about 12 to 15 squad cars in all, entered the grounds, at high speed, chasing an escaping motorist, who had apparently robbed something somewhere we found out later by police.> > This bloke tore into the grounds the staff in the cottages were looking out the windows, witnessed the driver hit the speed hump and become air born followed by all the cop cars, then the next speed hump, which we saw from our office window, it was like keystone cops. The car took off to the back part of the centre, went through an open grassed area, demolishing fences, sprinkler systems, he then drove through the barb wire fenced, demolishing it, that led to the cemetery, where he proceeded to get bogged and was subsequently detained and taken for a ride to Waratah Police Station, as the show COPS say's the bad guys go to Gaol, everyone's happy.> > well I got paid off over the next 2 nights, cause if something goes wrong, I am usually on duty, since I've been away it's been quite. The new secretary was gob smacked, as the office manager said to her, when she came on duty, your on with Rob, the night won;t be a quiet one........... The next day I told , that I was after her for jinxing me, but gee it was great to be back, in all honesty I had missed the place> > Anyway, this little old nurse is tired and about to head to bed> > I have our hospital ball on Friday night, I have to wear a mask... Any ideas, I cannot buy a mask, and costume hire places, have nothing, is there a web site I can make one from patterns> > Hugs> Rob> Quote
