Hi Woofers - always nice to see your swinging ribbon!
Yes woofs I am pleased with my machine, and it will be good when it's done.........don't know when that will be at this rate, but it will get finished! I have been held up with some really crappy rain - I have all the pieces cut, but I need to get them pinned on to the frame so I can check the windows for size (best way to judge it is by eye) There is a balance between the size of the windows and not compromising the overall strength of the tent. Anyway, the weather has lifted now, but I have other things I need to do, so hopefully I can get back on track in the next couple of days (need to sort out the Pyramid groundsheet for a camp on the 11th though)

How are the cushions Woofs (Woofers made some lovely posh cushions for her caravan) Did you make anything else? An awning perhaps

My little sewing machine wouldn't cope with an awning - it did cross my mind tho lol!

I made a dog bed which I was very pleased with......Murphy obviously wasn't and promptly threw up on it on the first night!  Luckily it's washable so all was not lost!  Just want to make a bigger one now as he won't let Max on it

Like the lamp, really good idea

You brought your fabric
New industrial machine is running fine
You have made test pieces
You got a welder (you didnt ask your old welder buddy about that )
You have had lovely weather to get out side and hang stuff on a frame

Lol Floggitt - I have just looked at your post on my welder thread..........I have really upset you haven't I? Awww, don't be sad Floggs, I didn't know you were a welding pro.......should have, as you seem to know about most things

As for my tent making project.......now you are being naughty as you know full well that I have been making lots of stuff whilst I waited for some decent weather so I could get out side without getting everything covered in mud. Yes I have bought loads of poles, and I have got my self a couple of lovely tents as well, but I won't be getting the welder till Monday. There is also the slight problem of not actually being able to get to my sewing machine at the moment, due to the fact that the conservatory is full of tents and equipment that I am under strict orders to get rid of! I must admit that I have gone a bit mad lately on the tent buying front, the result being that we are over run with the things. I really need to get rid of some, so I promised hubby that as soon as we have the nice weather I would pitch them and get them up for sale: only problem with that plan is that I have only found the time to pitch my new tents (you know…..the ones I am keeping quite about) I do have some nice poles though, and as soon as I get my welder (and get accustomed to it) I can get started on making my utility (didn’t like the set up I had) Anyway, it’s not fair for you to have a go, as you know I have 2 children to look after 24/7, so I am restricted to weekends as it is - add to that all the other stuff I have to do, and it makes for a very small window of opportunity for me to do the stuff I want. I could post all the things that I am doing, but I am not one for thinking about pics all the time (just get on with it), but you will see what I have done when it all comes together. In the meantime: If you have any advice about the welder, then drop me an email.

Tracey

PS: I have to fit some blooming camping in somewhere.........too damn hot for me at the mo as well!
