Band-what ?
Now I remember why I don't update my blog very often.
I am rubbish, but I *think* I've got it sorted now.
Next time I am going to take Homer Simpsons advice - " If at first you don't succeed - give up "
I had a look at my typepad account yesterday (for the first time since I set it up) and apparently I am 450 % over my bandwidth allowance this month.
?
What the bloody hell is bandwidth ? After looking it up on the internet I'm still none the wiser. I think it may be a parallel universe.
Luckily, I don't think typepad are charging if you exceed it, for the time being, so I am just going to bury my head in the sand over that one.
Thank you so much for your comments and offers of help re the banner, you are all so kind and lovely and I love you very much. : )
I have quite a long list of things I am unable to do....
Can't drive
Can't tell my left from my right
Can't sit still for 5 mins unless I'm crafting
Can't understand written instructions
Can't make pastry
Can't learn to love housework
Can't say no to a party
Can't sing for toffees ( something I seem to forget whenevr there's a Karaoke machine around )
Can't learn to think before I speak
and
Can't do banners.
However, I can do messy desks
Dennis.
My this weeks WIP, all he needs is his tail (which I've lost) and he's done. The pattern for Dennis is in this book, he's made from a thrifted hand towel and his t-shirt was one of Billy's stretchy babygrows. Cute.
Have a lovely weekend !

And I love EVERYTHING about you!!!

I can't drive and I do a great messy desk as well. Your new banner is beautiful.

Are you serious about the "can't tell left from right" thing? 'cause if you are, I'm thrilled! I can't either - and my husband teases me about it mercilessly! He swears that I am the only adult on the planet who doesn't know this. (and to be fair, I eventually get it - I just have to hold my hands up to see which one makes an "L"...) How I would love not be be alone with this affliction!
I also am a really crap shoe-tier....

Oh my. Your banner is just the cutest thing! I can't drive either and my desk is perpetually messy. I need to concentrate every time I want to tell my right from my left.
Anyway, you can definitely do banners - and yours is quite unique, and beautiful.

No shame in not loving housework, I don't think.
I am very happy that the left hand is the only one that makes a proper "L" with the thumb and the pointer finger, especially since I seem to have become a righty mom to two lefty kids--how the heck did that happen?
Dennis is a love. I can tell.
Posted by: Heels | June 30, 2006 at 02:11 PM
Aww, he's cute.
I can't sit still either, can't make pastry, and DEFINITELY will never learn to love housework (is there anyone who really does? and are they nutters?).

this right-left-thing is really amazing. seems about 75% of all WOMEN have it and their dhs are laughing about it.
and - to turn your list upside down:
i can drive
i can sing (in a quire, for that matter...)
i know what bandwidths is
but i CAN´T do as lovely things as you. the bear is *adorable*, i need one for my little nephew! ^^

After reading about your band-what (?) and your list of can't do's I begining to think I have a twin I knew nothing about, LOL :)
Love your new banner, you're so very talented!
Posted by: Lori | June 30, 2006 at 03:16 PM
Well, I'll tell you something you can do.. adorable banners and softies!!!
Love the new look. =o)
I can't sing for toffees either but I'll try if you give me some. haha!

Can't drive?!!! Well, clearly this will never do---u must wait then till I get out of LA for a visit. Heck, you left that little detail out. I drive and drive well-I'll teach you everything I know about the roads and I've been on a lot of them. Hey, but you guys have the wheel on the wrong side, don'tcha? This could be difficult!
Your banner looks loverly, my dear---but I'm afraid to tell you it's a tad small on my browser. Ah, fudge it--u can't please everyone.
I hope you find the tail on Dennis. Give Molly my best. Happy Friday, good weekend and all that!

Your banner is so beautiful...I do far too little work with fabric, choosing to scan it & print the material onto paper. I may just have to give it a go though if it can look like this...

Think of the internet like a pipe. At one end is your site, and you're shipping water out to everybody who connects to you. You're allowed to send a certain amount of water through the pipe each month - that's bandwidth. Anytime you add images to your pages you increase bandwidth. It's basically the amount of information you can send from typepad each month.
high bandwidth means your site is big and/or a lot of people are accessing it.
And don't worry about being dyslexic. It's ok!

The banner looks perfect and beautiful! And Dennis, so cute! I think you compensate for all those things you can't do with the beauty you create. Have a wonderful weekend.
Posted by: Veronica TM | June 30, 2006 at 07:45 PM
I've been lurking for a while and I must say you really create wonderful and beautiful things. :)The banner is lovely and Dennis too. :D
Posted by: Katy | June 30, 2006 at 08:25 PM
Well, I must just say your new banner is fabulous! And while I can drive, I cannot do many of things you can. Like create a Dennis. So sweet!
Posted by: Kelli | June 30, 2006 at 09:31 PM
you're too funny! i can't do banners either, which is why mine is so incredibly lame-o.
Posted by: mary | June 30, 2006 at 09:52 PM
Aha, now I get the bandwidth thing!
I'm hopeless at the L/R thing too! (I have to check which side my watch is on!!!) which really sucks in my work....
The bear is gorgeous, tail or no tail!

Dennis looks quite capable of driving, sorting out bandwidth, housework and the occasional party. How useful to be able to create the perfect man about the house.
Posted by: Jane | June 30, 2006 at 10:44 PM
And I love the new banner.
Posted by: Jane | June 30, 2006 at 10:45 PM
i love your new banner.
so cute~.
Posted by: Christy | June 30, 2006 at 11:46 PM
I honestly was beginning to think that I was the only person left in the UK who can't drive! And my bandwidth is also being studiously ignored! Left hand, right hand, who knows?? Housework? Not today thanks. Written instructions are evil. etc etc.
Great banner though!
Posted by: manda | July 01, 2006 at 01:00 AM
Love the new banner, and Dennis too! Now I'll have to check my bandwidth usage...
Posted by: Rose | July 01, 2006 at 03:34 AM
I'm almost 39 and don't drive
I cannot make pastry for the life of me
I have to hold my hands up to remebr left & right all the time
And I don't think before I speak either( forever getting myself into trouble cause of foot n mouth)
So your not alone:)
