After feeling a bit blah all week, I am hoping to do something enjoyable today.
I want to sew.
I have masses of UFO's to work on... so I will do a few today I hope.
Steve is still home ... he's got some sort of tummy bug/virus. I think Bex arrived last night ? ... but it was after we went to bed!
She is here for a couple of days.
ONWARD...
Soooo... I had a dream last night, where I bought a two door pantry unit and rearranged me kitchen cupboards.
And when I remembered it this morning I decided that is what I wanted to do.
So, we went to Mitre 10 to check out the prices there.. the two door units there were $259, but they had a shop soiled one for $166... I thought YES... what a good price! But first... we decided to go to Bunnings to check out their prices before buying the shop soiled one for $166.
Bunnings had the exact same one, BRAND NEW... for $78!
We didn't go back to Mitre 10!
I love how Bex has got the right attitude... watching her man work! I've even got a whip I can lend to her. *snigger*
And if you can see it... YES my tablecloth is ripped. I just ain't got around to mending it yet. Mending, like ironing, is the pits.
5 hours later... no weavils. But I'm STILL doing the kitchen cupboards! Steve bought me a kebab for lunch, so I stopped to eat that, otherwise... I've been in the kitchen doing the re-arrange! I can't believe how long it is taking.
What was I thinking?
I am all hot and sticky now, feel gross!
And NO... I don't mind that NO BUGGER has said 'Hi' for hours in the form of a comment... nope.. NOT AT ALL. *sniff*
Yaaa! A few comments... now I don't feel so bloody NEGLECTED! lol
Bex and Steve decided to make a card for Kelly (we going to her 30th Birthday party tomorrow, it's combined with her daughter Rena's 4th)... so they made a card. So then I got the 'guilts' ... so I made one too.
Can't show ya or she might see them before tomorrow... but I will post a photo tomorrow night of them.
OMG, I've got corned beef cooking in the crock pot... it smells devine. Yet I'm not even hungry. What a bugger.
End of Day: and dinner was just lovely! Bex made a mustard sauce, I made my cheese sauce and everyone was happy.
Quiet evening. I had the lounge to myself as no one wanted to watch Coronation Street with me! LOL.... shame that.
ON TRACK: yes.
nite nite.
They are gorgeous! Have fun :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good day to sew. Have fun. It's time you did something that's just for you.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a weird tummy upset. Still feel 'off' this morning is a way that's not usual for me. Wonder what's going round. What's more I haven
t been anywhere to pick up anything.
Love the rain .... good excuse to look through UFOs or start something new!
Blessings.
I love the blue blocks CHris - you are inspiring me with all I will be allowed to do after I complete my current major project! And I will be allowed to come and meet you in real life!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait.

A cupboard clean up is always good. There are gems to find!
ReplyDeleteI love that you ended up doing something you dreamed about. Or maybe you dreamed about something you wanted to do! Either way, it's put something in motion.
LOL - I LOVE all of that SEWING you got accomplished! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing we females are allowed to be fickle & change our minds in the twinkle of an eye. LOL
But , I know you will be thrilled once you get your kitchen back together once again. LOL
Here I am.......Hi Chris. You are a brave lady cleaning out those cupboards!!! I know how long it takes me and I have that to look forward to when I get home. Must admit mine aren't too bad but like you need to re arrange some.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day here in Oz so am off to sit outside :)

You have such a beautiful home! How does it stay so neat and clean with all those people in it?

The dresden quilt looks stunning I want to flash up my boudoir(bedroom) and when I am in AKLD I could squeeze that into my shopping I hope u rest up cause this is my list, MOST urgent Work pants, pants,handbag, wallet, earrings, perfume (Opium satin body oil it's the only one I can wear!), shoes, sneakers I probably only have enough $ for the pants, and the perfume and maybe shoes all the rest is my wish list!!!! And I have to save REALhard for the rest....
ReplyDeleteMy pantry, kitchen cupboards & drawers all need sorting, decluttering & cleaning but I just keep putting it off. Good on you for getting stuck in.
ReplyDeleteCorned Beef in the Crock Pot......
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good idea to me!
Nice quilt patterns. I need to organize a few things around my place. Good for you getting it all straightened away.
ReplyDeleteSquee! You are such an awesome shopper. :)
