As my vehicle does not have a Warrant of Fitness right this minute, I am staying home today.
The car park wardens down in Manurewa are like bloody Nazi's and will ticket me quick as wink... so I'm not taking the chance.
I can little afford the new tyres let alone a freakin' ticket as well.
How typical that I have spent all me money on a new rug... and BOOM... need cash for tyres! Grrrrr.
I can pick up me new rug next week. I will enjoy it anyway!
As ya probably know, Steve and Bex had their 12 week scan yesterday... here is the best picture of their baby:
ABOVE: this little baby was very, very active... so this is probably the best photo they got. 12 weeks and 2 days... Due 1/1/2013. Steve objected to me and Bex referring to baby as 'The Rugrat'... so we await a new nickname that meets with his approval. (he wanted to call baby 'FOE'.... yeah right!)
Now, as I'm not going to Hospice today... I'm gunna sew! Yes indeedy I am... Yaaaaa.
ONWARD...
ABOVE: I'm sewing! I really am. And I've decided to work on UFO's today (UnFinished Objects)....so first up is the placemats I SHOULD have finished months ago.
Enjoy your day sewing!
ReplyDeleteThe baby has a lovely profile. Sew on!
ReplyDeleteI love the baby pic...these images are so cool to see.

Hope the sewing hasn't got the better of you - can't wait to see the finished product

I love to see pictures of your house. Everything is so bright and cheerful. Can't wait to see the new rug in your family room. Congrats on the windfall!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your windfall. It's always nice when the universe gives you a nice gift:)
ReplyDeleteDo you do your binding with handstitching? I find it hard to sew accurately using the sewing machine for the final fold. So I use a zig zag stitch instead to finish up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tracy - good things DO happen to good people!! You deserve it - enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteKarma....thats what it is called.
ReplyDeleteWow windfall good alright lucky for the car and you.... An active baby woah what a good scan piccy.
ReplyDeleteI give up ... What does FOE stand for? I know I will regret asking!
