If I do, then I will be able to sit down for a minute and relax.
Lunch today is going to be nice... the kids and I are going to the Hospice Shop End of Year Christmas lunch at the local Cozzie club.....Don't ask me what a Cozzie club is cos I can't remember!
0NWARD...
OH JOY... I have a shitty headache... and my fingers and feet are all swollen up... massive fluid retention going on... ikkkkk... off to take some pills and hopefully feel like actually going to the lunch.
Well... lunch is over... and it was really nice! We could choose whatever we wanted from the menu... (usual Bar food)... the kids and I enjoyed toasted sandwiches and chips! The Cozzie club in Manurewa is a really beautiful club... it has recently been renovated and upgraded:
Home now and I am off to FINISH that Star Quilt! I only have the binding to finish, and I'm
End of Day: Stew arrived home from work and then we went off to Sylvia Park for dinner and a grocery grab. Home by 9.30.. unpacking all the groceries... then once the kids are in bed it will be time to wrap the freakin presents! My No# 1 most hated job of the year! WELL that and cleaning toilets, lol. *sniff* nite nite.

I Had to laugh as I was visiting - I LOVE your quilt and I LOVE that zebra wall hanging and I Love your hydrangeas and I Loved your idea about Stew's birthday party and I LOVED your star quilt!
ReplyDeleteI also am amazed that you have Christmas in the Summer! So, I was having a blast! O, I thought you might get a kick out of knowing I had made my sister-in-law a laptop sleeve also. I had kept the measurements of her computer and was so excited about it! The week before I gave it to her - her laptop just up and died - so she and her husband got two new ones and OF COURSE THE SLEEVE WOULD NOT FIT either of them!!!!!!!!!!! AM I Just having a run of bad luck - or what ! LOL But, as least you know I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
HO HO HO - Who wouldn't go???????LOL
I love the finished project ... looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm still procrastinating about wrapping presents - I'm wondering if hiding the presents and making people find them would be a lot easier (I'm sure it would be environmentally friendly if nothing else!!) I loathe wrapping presents 99% of the time! :)
First of all: Ha ha You? sit down and relax? Not possible.
ReplyDeleteThe star quilt looks really nice! Did you do that trimwork by hand? How did you get the piece of candy in there?
Really Cool!
From one procrastinator to another I say "Beautiful" - the quilt and that it is done. All the best from Long Island, NY for a very merry to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteHo ho ho,
Colleen
The star quilt is spectacular!! I absolutely love it!
