She's now as addicted as me! She DROOLS over fabric too. ha ha ha!
So, the fabric shop in Papakura has this big box full of fabric scraps, perfect for applique sewing... and Bex wants to go back there today and see what else she can find.
So... that's what we will do.
I will show you what I got done last night:
ABOVE: I machine stitched the binding on these two mug rugs, so now all I have to do is hand stitch it on the back. I love these two mug rugs. It's probably cos they are so bright and well... CUTE!
Talking of cute... how about this young man, who thinks he's the bees knees in the highchair:
We are having Miss Muppet on Saturday night, so Lacy can have the night off. We don't mind having her at all, she's such a little darling for us. I just wish she slept through the night!
Oh well... it will happen eventually eh?
And now... it's time to make the lunches... and all the usual stuff mum's do in the mornings...
ONWARD...
So... Bex and I 'did' the Papakura shops.
It didn't take long, and we won't be doing it again.
Honestly, there must have been 12-15 of those cheap $$ type stores there! And they all sold the same cheap Asian, mass produced stuff.
I did find one good thing, which was in a shop that was closing down, and we did get some more fabric from Fabricland:
What else? Oh yes, we stopped in the Takanini Hospice Shop, and found these:
I will try my hardest to fit it.
Now we are home and it's lunch time... off to make some cheese and crackers I think.
Tonight's dinner will be:
And we shall have meatloaf sandwiches over the weekend, and give some to Lacy and Keera too.
I have never seen the point in just making one... it's a messy job so why not do heaps in one go?
Exactly.
End of Day: the meatloaf was lovely, and I've got enough left over to feed us all again twice over. I spent most of the evening sewing... while them upstairs watched a movie called 'Hansel and Gretel'... but is wasn't my type of movie so I passed on it.
Time to hit the sack now, and hopefully get a sleep in even.
nite nite
She does sleep throu the night....well for me she does :P thanks again Ma and Pa you guys rock xoxo
