You can leave your shell on!

Hello Ellie Thank goodness.  I couldn't find you. Yes we needed a new one. 

Great image! x

Great image! x

Hey spotty....it’s Friday......yay! Xx

Really good effort on the photo front Lone, I may need someone to explain it to me. I love your obvious love for the tools as objects, you've done a fantastic job of making them beautiful and respect worthy again.

Wonder if you've heard of 'upcycling', I stumbled on it when I first finished some chairs and it seems to be the current fashionable term for what you've done with that table. So many people are doing bodge jobs though, only seen bits of  'money for nothing' but most of the upholstery standars are woeful. It's like uTube where anyone can post a video of anything and if you don't have descriminating faculties you won't weed out the blind leading the blind.

Well done with the parking fine Misfit, though my phone won't currently show me your post, I read it in the email notification. You did great in looking out for yourself. That is another reason I find it easier to navigate here on a PC, I've posted and read notifications of posts via email but when I look on my quite new and clever Android phone, random things are invisible. That doesn't seem to happen with the 'proper' web site.

Hope everyone is optimistic about getting to the end of the week and strength to you all. ()x

oh yeah that is a small table I made using two car front suspension arms and an old piece of tropical hardwood,an old weir board Lol.

a very small selection of tools I loving rescue and restore,bagpus would be proud of me.

Hi spotty you were missed.

I am rather busy mentally physically and emotionally.

work has all three In various degrees,home has two of them!

Overall I am extremely happy in my emotional state,a bit wobbly physically and a lot on my mind mentally. Extremely lucky to have someone who understands me a bit.

Still lots of questions in my mind,lots to think about and still finding who I am.

Soo happy to hear you are being accepted by your group. Little thing to them but a big challenge to you eating with them.maybe one or two looked into autism to see what they should be afraid of and realised in fact there is nothing to fear. Just alternative people trying to fit thier would.

I have a photo or two for you "Tool time" that potential leather workers tool is included.

missy good sign you out shopping? Sorry to hear about your parking fine, If it were me I would just walk in and say" hi I don't understand why I got fined as I don't understand the significance of time! I have autism" some wouldn't feel happy that I used that but hey I am not ashamed of it.

just don't let it prey on your mind to much.take care x.

xxx()()()xxx nite nite take care.

Good luck at the store, it is normal for it to be a day late on your statement.

I told some of them in June that I thought I may be autistic and was greeted with incredulity. It is interesting how things have mellowed and it is an ok topic of occasional conversation now. Today (lunch) was a big deal for me and they kindly said I had to come for lunch once a term. 

It is a very happy place to find people that kind.

It wouldn’t be our thread if it didn’t xx

I don,t mean that in a nasty way..,every frame needs some protection..,every thing needs caring for and bringing out to shine .. it’s best qualities brought out xx

I do like the armadillo.. it’s very cute curled up in a ball. But wonder if it’s got a bare tummy Achilles style. 

So pleased they recognised and saw you for who and what you are..a wonderful and talented individual....

This thread is behaving very oddly. Hello Ellie long day.. thought it was quiet! 

Spotty I did reply but it’s disappeared.. 

back from work late.....decamped and uncurled my inner armadillo man ! Lol

They understand masks as being stuffing and padding ...the two intermix xxx

I’ll go to the store tomorrow and see what they say ; trouble is I don’t have a receipt and the bank statement shows the day after so no proof. Didn’t you tell you upholstery gang last week? Anyway glad that you felt able to share and heartily accepted. Well done for going to lunch with them.. glad you weren’t too stressed.youll just have to see how you feel on a weekly basis as to whether you join them more often but sounds like they’re a nice bunch. As in the other thread as long as they don’t invade your space at home unexpectedly it remains a fairly controlled situation? How is the stool ( I think you said) coming along? 

Could you appeal the ticket in account of being a loyal customer and genuine mistake?

My day was stitchy and stuffy, horse hairy and sore fingery. I have told my fellow upholstery crew about ASD and they have been very sweet to me. Today they insisted in a nice way that I come and eat lunch in the cafe with them, they even bought it for me! Upholstery people are usually very nice people and I wasn't too stressed because of the acceptance. (Still had to take an anti shake pill though!).

How was everyone’s day today? It’s very quiet here this evening. I managed to go to aldi so now have a full fridge again but not done anything else since except open a parking ticket from (parking eye aldi )from June because I’d been in the car park 11 minutes too long! 

There weren't many mammals with shells on and it looked cute multitasking for a change! It looks even more cute rolled up. Night Ellie half way through the week xxx

Could you do a day without a mask. ..I don’t think I could xx

Lol.....you don’t things by halves do you...a shell to hide in..and you can roll into a ball.....you’re just showing off now xxxxxx

I found my other mask it's a Brazilian 3 banded armadillo and apparently it can roll up into a ball. Cute! Got my armour on now. Xxxx

Night M, I'd never tread on things if I could avoid it. xx
