Is there only one or can we order seven?
Title: Re: Handmade Christmas Stocking
Post by: Roz on December 03, 2007, 14:45:36 PM
Sorry I realise that there might be only one in the auction but can we order more if we are successful (or not)  Imagine the disappointment on the faces of the unrewarded kitties. One favoured and six also rans.  :(

Roz , I hope you see this but the person who makes these is away until the end of the auction........now it could be she will do a deal for you so you could have more.

I cant remember when Alex returns but maybe on Friday or is it tomorrow..............sighhhhhhhhhhh I cant remember.  :Crazy:

Roz, your tugging at the heart strings is killing me!  :( I really wish I could make some more for you... but even if I had enough left of the material, I have to be realistic about how much stuff I have to get done between now and x-mas... And hand-stitching seven stockings would take at least a whole workday... which I can't afford right now. I feel SO SO bad... Please don't hate me.

A very apologetic Alex.  :(

Hi Alex,

I've only just found your reply but of course I don't hate you...well, only a little bit... ha ha :evillaugh:

How many bags of cat-nip could I get in da one stocking?  or similarly small pressies.  I guess I could fit some little ping pong balls and fake fur mice in couldn't I and they could all share the one.

OK..if it takes you a whole day to stitch seven then I reckon with materials, this little stocking has got to be worth at least £12.00

So: £12.00 for the stocking

Lots of love

Roz

Hi Roz,

I just performed a VERY scientific test  :rofl: I put in all the little ping-pong balls and other similarly sized balls I could find, which was 19 balls...  :Crazy: And that only just filled the foot part of the stocking... So you should be able to fit a fair amount of little pressies in there!

 ;)

Hi Alex

Many thanks for sending the stocking which I received this morning.  It is plenty big enough to fit all the little treats into and is a gorgeous festive red.   ;D It will take pride of place hanging above the mantlepiece.  Must try to get a piccie.


Thank you once again. :thanks:

Best wishes,


Roz
