That had to be the nicest (weather wise) Labour Weekend I can EVER remember! Three days of sunshine.... what more could you ask for?
Kids back to school today .. yaaaaa... and me ... off to Patchwork class...not that I go to learn much right now! I am going for the company really. I shall continue working on the CUTE bags for now... seriously considering going to a market or two soon ... IF I can build up some stock! Thinking of selling my cards too if I do go ahead with it.
What else? Ehhhhh, not much! Stew did a shitload of the housework for me yesterday while I was out with Kate! What a man! Seriously, all I need to do today is wash the floors! Whoooop dee doooooo.
ABOVE: oooo and before I forget! Jackie, one of Stew's work colleagues popped in yesterday and gave me this very cute glass and ribbon necklace... it has a really lovely reddish glow in the sun. It was for me birthday.... THANKS Jackie! XOXOXO
ONWARD...
What a looooong morning I've had! Patchwork was LOVELY... got started on two more CUTE bags... then I went and got some more batting at Spotlight (I really should just take my bed down there!)... I'm there so often.
Home now, it's almost 1.30 pm and I really need my lunch! (well.. it's my breakfast too)...

ABOVE: look what I 'scored' at the fabric shop this morning!!! A 'pre-loved' lightbox for only $40... I am chuffed to bits.
I had thought I would be doing the floors this afternoon... but truth be told I'm knackered for some reason? Going to just sit we me feet up for a while I think.
Got some bloke coming around soon to suss out the colour for the new garage door too.... oooo a bloke! lol
LYNDA: lol... a lightbox is used for tracing patterns onto fabric.... I have wanted one for ages. You use them a lot for applique work... like the animal blocks I was doing a while ago... and STILL haven't finished...oooops!
End of Day: and I'm going to bed sooo crabby! I have been making a bagof course, but tonight for some reason I have been making mistake after mistake... and having to 'reverse sew' quite a few times.... and I pricked me fingers a dozen times too!!! Grrrr. I am going to call it a night now and attack it again tomorrow afternoon... hopefully it behaves then (or my brain does). nite nite.

You are one lucky ducky!! Hubby doing the housework while your out playing and getting necklaces from friends for your Birthday!! wow wheee! Pretty nice!! Three cheers for Stew n you!! ...debbie
ReplyDeleteLove the necklace:-)
ReplyDeleteHey Chris - the bags may sell on TradeMe - could be worth a go!
I love the necklace.
ReplyDeleteIf you can build up enough stock there are always extra markets around Christmas and your stuff would fly off the stall it is so amazing & a bit different.
Enjoy the lovely sunshine while you can.
Aaah, who's a spoiled girl then? good for you!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and wish me a happy birthday :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Send Stew over here!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Debbie above. What a nice day....out playing while your house is getting cleaned, and getting such a pretty gift to boot.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I like that necklace very nice, did you say how much the large stay open bags are selling for, and if they are how much for a small stay open bag? I have a 40th birthday for a lady coming up and I'm thinking a bag!
ReplyDeleteOK, you got me... what the hell is a light box??
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting a light box because of all my embroidery!!!
ReplyDeleteWait, I don't understand. Your husband's work colleague got you a birthday present??? You must be one charming lady!!! I've used a lightbox when I worked in a printing co. after I left school. It was brutal. Day in, day out. Almost went blind.
ReplyDeleteLynda beat me to it! lol
ReplyDeleteLook how clean your dogs are.
ReplyDeleteTG Lynda asked what it was 4
Mary H
what a cute necklace! x
ReplyDeleteHey tart!! LOL..thanks for stopping by my blog..no worries on the cards..i just liked them..you so should have your own business girl!!
ReplyDeleteYou really scored on the light box! I am sure you will put it to excellent use.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that the sewing was fighting back and made you cranky! I have had days like that. It will get better soon!
It was a beautiful weekend here too! I still don't really get the light box thing...but, I am a little slow on the crafting uptake!
ReplyDeleteBest,
