BIT OF THIS AND THAT TODAY...

Right... I said I did some sewing last night, and I did.
I had made a cushion front a couple of years ago, but then never actually made it into a cushion... so I 're-purposed' it and made it into a soft cover for me sewing machine:

ABOVE:  I had to add the blue fabric to make it fit like a cover should.  I must admit I have never done a cover before, and certainly not without a pattern.


I'm surprised at how easy it was at the end of the day!

I found the ONE drawback of having my sewing area part of our 'BEDROOM':

ABOVE:  The man wanted to go to bed, so I had to stop sewing.  I just have the top stitching to finish on the sewing machine cover.  I will get it done today sometime.

ABOVE:  Bex made her first ever soft Baby Book... she is rather chuffed with herself!
Now she wants to make more.... as gifts for friends who have babies.

ABOVE:  another 'first'... changing the needle on the machine.  

ABOVE:  I asked her to clean the fronts of the cupboards ... so she did.  AND she cleaned the extractor thingee above the stove too.  She's rather handy to have around, I hate having to stand up on the bench, I always feel like I'm going to fall.

ABOVE:  I moved stuff around in this room AGAIN.  Gives us a bit more room in the middle, which will be nicer once I get a rug for there.  Got me eye on one I saw online last night.  Waiting to see if it's still available.

TODAY:  Bex has a Dr's appointment down in Manukau, so we shall go to the mall and I will look after Dante while she's at the Dr's.  Lacy and Keera are meeting us there, so we shall probably have lunch there.  Not sure.

After that I'm on duty at the Hospice Shop.

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  spew spew... orange!  Bex likes orange so she chose this picture.  

While we were out this morning I had several really nasty hot flushes, so bad in fact that I felt sick.  So... I'm going to stay home this afternoon and try and get some sleep, I'm feeling really spaced out and weird.

Off to have a headache pill and lie down now.

Well... we are in the midst of a big Thunder and Lightening storm!  It's been going on for almost two hours.
I saw it coming and ran !!! YES RAN outside and grabbed in all the washing in the nick of time!

I managed to catch a few short videos of the lightening too... once they are processed I shall post them.  Tomorrow no doubt.

Oh and there have been water spouts too... which are tornadoes over water.  I didn't see them.

It's now freezing.

End of Day:  the storm was neat to watch.  Dinner was lovely, chicken and rice with veges... Bex did it.
