SPONGEBOB, BIRDS, TREASURE AND DAY 120 WEIGH IN!

First up... Steve and Bex made their first ever purchase on Trademe... 
 ABOVE:  they bought this Spongebob fabric.  Bex is nuts about Spongebob!  She is thinking of making a bag for herself.  And a mug rug.

 This is what I did last night: 

 ABOVE:  I sat in the lounge (so I could watch Telly) and started making 4 more mug rugs (coasters).  At some point today I shall make a start on the stitching.

 TREASURE from yesterday:
 ABOVE:   I got this dinky pine seat for little grandchildren, it opens to hold toys too.  I love it!
I also got two really cute dresses for Keera, and a GORGEOUS glass vase...
ABOVE: I don't think you can see it very well because it's already in use!  Stew brought home flowers to mark our Anniversary.   Awww... he's such a darling man.

 Today?  I'm going out.  I need a few things from Spotlight, so I can continue working on the mug rugs.  Bex and baby are coming too.  I'm going to have lunch at the mall today too... before I WEIGH IN for DAY 120.  That will be done when we get home.

 ONWARD...

 So... I've spent several hours out and about, stopped at Spotlight for some Vlisofix, got a bit of fabric on sale, then off to the mall for lunch.

 THEN I took Bex and Lacy over to Papakura to visit a fabric shop they had not even been to.
They had two big boxes of scraps, so we grabbed some ... Bex wants to go there again for sure.  *smiles*
 ABOVE:  fabrics from Spotlight....
ABOVE:  and the fabric scraps I got from Fabricland in Papakura.

 WEIGH IN RESULTS FOR DAY 120:  Lost 3.2 kilos.
Better than I expected to be honest. 

 ***TOTAL LOST SO FAR:  21.2 kGS OR 46.6 POUNDS.*** 

 I would like to say my afternoon/evening has been lovely. 

 But it hasn't been. 

 Thanks to some intensive personal therapy, I have learnt to know when it is best to walk away.  So... I am walking away.

 *HUSTON, JOEL, EMILY AND LIAM.  We love you. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
If we do not see you ever again... just know it is not our choice.*

 End of Day: If I ignore the later part of today... it's been an OK day!
Best to end it right now though... I've got sewing to do!

    Love that pine seat . Very practical. I think I would paint it if it were mine, maybe pale blue.
    Hope you are pleased with your weight loss, you put me to shame.

    Congratulations on the loss, Chris. That's amazing! I'd be happy losing that much. I think when I get across to Sydney I'll make a concerted effort to do what you're doing. Well done.

    I love the vase, too. I have one just like it which was gift many years ago from a dear friend. it comes in very handy!
