-Nappies - CLAIMED -
The wonderful babalon_93 made up heaps of nappies and nappy bits for me out of terry cloth nappies, so I have all of them plus some snappi nappies, disposable liners, and plastic pants and stuff. I'll get everything together for you, show you how to use them if you like etc.

- Sewing Machine. - CLAIMED! -
It's a few years old, but i think I only used it once in the past few years! It's in good working condition, I don't know how to use sewing machines, so I am finally just giving up. I have the cabling and etc, but the small box of bibs and bobs is missing. It just had the bobbins and a replacement foot anyway. It's all standard size, so the stuff you get at Spotlight should be fine.

- Marbles - CLAIMED -
I loved collecting marbles, and have a few still. I'd like to give them to someone who would cherish them if possible. A real mix of stuff.


If no one wants my stuff, I am going to freecycle them.

i used to love playing marbles at school :) I'm thinking if i get them I'd use them as decorations in my jewellery box or desk :)

also re: sewing machine.. one of the women I know at uni was looking at buying a sewing machine cause she wants to quilt so i'll let her know.

Well, I'd rather give it to a friend to start with, and if no one wants it (and we will know before Monday, I can tell you that!) then cool. However, I have just emailed Starla80 back. I'll keep you updated.

Oh, and yes, there are some very pretty marbles in there.

I was so sad i missed the tupperware party.. not because i wanted to buy tupperware but because i wanted to meet more lj people in person :)

So are you a definite for the marbles? Do you want to email me off list as to how you will get them? Otherwise Fred_mouse has put her hand up.

I would like them but then again marbles are a kids toy.. why miss an opportunity to influence the younger generation!

Better that they get played with I think :)

If the sewing machine is still going, I'd love to take it off your hands. I would like to give you *something* for it though. If it's still available perhaps you can email me at starla80 at gmail dot com? Cheers :)

Emailed.

See, I wanted the sewing machine, and then I had a discussion with myself about where I would put it and when I would use it. And then I lasted a good hour and a half before checking back in just to make sure that I still didn't want it.

*is proud of self*

I am very proud of you too!
Well done!
That's a great trick to use on yourself to see if you really want/need it.

I note that someone has already put their hands up for the marbles, but should that go not according to plan, my middle child would love them.

Indescribble has stepped back from the marbles, so it looks like middle child is going to be lucky.
:-)
I'll email you.

If you don't get a taker for the nappies, I'm happy to put you in touch with the perthozcloth list.

Cool. They are just terry toweling cut into shape and then sewn around the edges.

obviously I don't need any of the above items but you have reminded me that I have a sewing machine I haven't used in 15 years or something. I guess it's time to get rid of it!

Date: 2007-08-10 09:38 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] callistra.livejournal.com
Or donate to a museum?
:-)

now there's a thought - though it probably isn't old enough. I think I bought it back in 1986. Maybe the grannies at the opshop could use it
