He's going to be busy being a superhero in the Marvel Universe, and don't you think there's another series of Sherlock in him? <br />I think Tobias Menzies has a good presence and since he's done with Outlander and only pops up in Catastrophe once in a while, he'd be a good doctor. Plus he's so adorable with those dimples. The clock is nearly 0000 so I must go to bed. amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-6722203200074051582017-06-12T09:44:15.776+01:002017-06-12T09:44:15.776+01:00I knew that my thingy had a proper name.

I folded it in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and sandwiched a piece of wadding in the middle and just sewed a tacking stitch down the long open side. I cut the pockets 8" by 12" and ironed heavy duty interfacing onto the wrong side. Then I folded bias tape in half and stitched over the long edges before pressing the pleats in. I pinned them to the backing piece and then made some binding and attached all the way round. I folded over enough on the top to push some dowel through and job done.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-1558068809120358252017-06-12T09:26:23.778+01:002017-06-12T09:26:23.778+01:00I can take no credit for the yarn colour, it is fr...I can take no credit for the yarn colour, it is from the Knit Picks Stroll range.

It wakes OH up if I get up so I had to stay put.

I wish Matt Smith had lasted longer, but Tennant was my favorite modern Dr. I heard rumours of Rupert Grint as well as Daniel Radcliffe but neither of them tick the box for me. With Missy gone as well, I guess we'll have to wait after Christmas to find out. And why they heck did they add Nardole? I like Bill. <br />You're up early and I'm getting ready to head to the bed.
