Hi I'm Holly, I was diagnosed with ASD a few months ago (I also have depression and anxiety) and I am currently doing my a levels (Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths). I love science and Sherlock Holmes. (Just wanted to introduce myself) xx
Hi Holly and everyone else. I've been at chair school today so I have sore and aching fingers and am completely cream crackered. Don't ever think upholstery is a nice leisurely activity, it's bleedin hard work. They are a sweet bunch of people and haven't really batted an eyelid at me telling them about ASD and ADHD, it's a special kind of therapy.
Hi spotty as if by magic you appear.Upholstery hurts,working with leather?tough old stuff, or great big seat springs!!boing.
nice to see you though,

You make the most of it and I hope it's positive x
Hi lovely ..missing you lots today xx
Thank you. Yes it most certainly is. Xxx()()()
Take care Missy, sorry you aren't feeling good, it's nice to know you are seeing your little thread bear fruit though. xx ()()
Off to do my usual taxi run.laters or nite nite see you soon if your tired. ()()
Ah a shame Taltunes Well you are welcome to join in,I still keep wondering where missy is, spotty I recently made a oblong small table using two front car suspension arms and a hardwood oblong top.sounds rubbish,well it is technically as recycling is nice.came out looking expensive. Would love to get into upholstery,I know the basics,I have made leather archers arm protector when I was quite young,stitched the buckles from a briefcase to some leather.and hippie wrist bands(bracelet). Ah just saw your last post,nite nite missy,really missed you but fully understand you take care,take time to recover. Xxx()()()
I'm poorly today. Not up to this today or anything else. Delighted that the chat is thriving. I have been reading your conversations and nice to hear what everyone is saying. And to know you are there. Reply more specifically another day.
I am not online at home so I won't be a regular in this community but my sister is away this week with work and I am at her house using her iPad while I have the chance.
Thank youTaltunes for that,we can seem a bit exclusive in here,not true but as there are only usually at best five regulars who natter it may look so.
I am missing missy! I hope she is ok? Missfit 61 started this thread and is amazeballs.
We are here just to have fun,the only rules are,be kind,be silly,and tell us about your day. There are no rules,
"ice hockey""chess" I play chess or used to anyway. Is chess an exclusive thing amongst us? Anyway welcome to all.
Thanks Ellie, and I mean that, being told frequently that I'm so good at x and y is ultimately what made me find this diagnosis. If I'm good at stuff why have I achieved nothing and spend my days alone at the end of the garden with no income...
I also love nature and books lol. Especially crime and classic books <3
Hey you...hope those interests don't all happen at the same time..
me 42 and a bit, ....interests nature, people, books, etc x
ladtvtime I played chess I got beaten xx
ooooo I love chess too!
52 year old male diagnosed with ASD specifically Asperger's in 2015. Interests chess, tai chi and ice hockey amongst other things
Hello Taltunes,thanks for that,I don't think I have the whole PC thing? I struggle to even find my own pictures on the laptop? I am replying with an iPad, If I go off to try I may never find my way back Lol. I need some One who teaches and would have the patience to keep going against all odds.
So Taltunes do you feel welcome enough to introduce yourself?we don't bite,ouch well apart from someone who will remain anonymous he he(joke). Free complimentary hug ().
Glad you enjoyed it though Spotty..,you have so many skills.....x
I think I've seen the tool you mean, forgotten exatly what it was for, if I remember I'll ask next week.
I wish it was easier to post pictures straight from your phone but it will only accept really low resolution images so I don't know how to do it without tansferring the image to a PC which is a faff, unless we hop over to Instagram. ()
Just a little stool with a wooden top that I'm invisibly putting a traditionally upholstered pad on, lots of stuffing and stitching. I'm quite good at it being a pedant for detail so Alex our tutor gets me to do things the hardest way possible, I'm virtually stitching into wood!
Nice to see you all too.
Looks like you click on the picture icon ( to the left of the bullet point icon ) on the menu bar below where you type your reply
I have a special pair of pliers which I think are for an upholsterer,a bit like pliers but have a slightly cranked over jaws,the teeth are very big for gripping thick material or leather,and they have a small hammer head up by the swivel hinge.
I wish I knew how to post pictures?
