Offcuts 2 - are you there ???

[beattie]

I would expect Offcuts 2 to be like almost everyone else in the country, and not going to work or whatever else they do until at least 4th January. We seem to have a 10 day (minimum) Christmas break for all except emergencies nowadays.

[Offcuts]

I think you are right, Beattie. Back next week.........BUT I have some to be checked and counted! However I don't think I shall be able to do any this week.

Anyone up for making 274 today ??? !!!
(Sorry, Im working )

[loopy's bags]

I might manage the 4 later on..... babysitting Harry tonight here so might get a chance to escape to the sewing machine...

[beattie]

I could take a break from ironing kits for Exeter and make half a dozen or so. I hear Himself on the machine while cooking breakfast downstairs, so he's on the case already.

Well we haven't made it to 100,000 for tomorrow

and I haven't made it to 1000 sorry......

but we've had a damned good try

well done to everyone who has made so so many bags this year and over the 4 years.

A big well done to Pol for starting us all off and for helping us all meet new friends - in person and online

Thank You

[Offcuts]

Don't worry about not reaching your 1000 yet. I'm sure you will soon and well done for trying

[beattie]

Never mind Squeak! You're closer to the 1000 mark than you would have been without your challenge, and I'm sure you'll reach it soon.

Happy 4th morsbirthday to morsbags and all morsbaggers for tomorrow!
We've made just over 83,000 bags worldwide. I reckon we'll hit 100,000 about the end of August! Keep sewing, keep sewing!

[Tintinabulation Wells]

Happy Birthday to all Morsbaggers, Thank you so much for the kind welcome to me this spring and for giving me a purpose in my retirement. I stand in awe of some of you and your dedication to the cause and am trying my best to spread the message in my little corner of West Sussex. Power to your needles.We'll make the 100,000 this year.

[masterclock]

A hard challenge to meet.

How about a sweepstake for the exact date for 100,000?

Or do I see opportunities for tactical posting here?
