Thank you all for the kind messages about the pillowcases. I wish I could make one for everyone on the forum; you are all so supportive.

When you are on the beach during your summer vacation in France and keep imagining a scene with Sherlock and John on the beach, like:

"This is a beach, Sherlock, you're supposed to enjoy yourself here."
"Why should I enjoy myself here? Direct sunlight provokes skin cancer and all these poorly dressed ordinary people provoke my boredom!"
"...and nobody wears a coat on the beach!"

.....and so on and so on
Add: "...so at least put your collar down."

And take your bloody scarf off, too. Sheesh. *g*

Whenever weird domestic stuff happens to me I always imagine it happening to John and Sherlock.
Including:
Not being able to open the jam jar
Running out of toilet paper
Someone finishing the last of the coffee
Burnt out lightbulbs
Clogged sinks
How would they deal with all these things? They must happen, right?

Easy - Sherlock would pretend nothing has happened until John cracks and fixes the problem!

Smoggy_London_Air · August 10, 2012 2:54 pm

But what if Sherlock can't open the jam jar? Would he just go without?

Well, if they ran out of toilet paper (that was on that list), I suspect he wouldn't pretend for long. Just sayin'. Some things do not wait. *snerk* Even for eccentric geniuses who only eat on days that do not end in "day".

Beautiful Ancientsgate! And so true!

It would be kind of funny to show more of the little domestic things like TP issues in their larger-than-life lives. (Remember the days on TV when married couples had to sleep in double beds, no one ever went to the bathroom, and God forbid, you showed a feminine hygene product on the air. We've come a long way - maybe too far judging by all the damn Viagra commercials)

veecee those pillowcases are great!! But how did you get the embroidery thread to glow in the dark? Yes you ought to market them somehow.

Ok I know I'm obsessed with SHERLOCK when I tell my brain to dream about him every nite, in a different setting/story.

Very good one as well! I did dream about Sherlock chasing through some old church once, but it was the night after first having watched Reichenbach, so I guess I was a little confused back then.

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you go shopping with your father and all you can rave about are long, classic, black coats...and these light-coloured wool pullovers...

And you wish you could find a purple shirt of sex for your husband. *dreams*

You can't read a menu without thinking of (for our non-German speaking members - it's just about wine, sorry)

No, wrong time of day . And red wine doesn't agree with me.

Thank you for the compliment. The thread comes that way. It's glow-in-the-dark like all the things you see around Halloween. It glows an eerie green. It's quite bright, but I couldn't get it to show up on camera so I just had to post the photographs of the cases in the light.

Dreaming about Sherlock....mmmmm

My husband is so sweet. He actually agreed to let me buy him a purple shirt. Granted, it's an Eddie Bauer polo shirt and who knows if he'll ever wear it, but I appreciated the gesture.

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you're willing to go to any lengths to make it into an Advanced Chemistry class, including a potential nervous breakdown during the testing process.

Luckily, I succeeded.

Veecee, the least you can do now for your husband is to model Irene's 'battle dress'
