A NEW DAY, BACK IN BLOGWORLD

First up... apologies for going off line for a couple of days.  I needed a break.

Now I'm back, and here's a few photos that got deleted or are new:

 ABOVE:  I finally put my diamond studs in.  And it didn't hurt at all.

 ABOVE:  Hospice Treasure that I got on Monday.  Dante kept saying "Mine?"... so bloody cute.

ABOVE: the baby quilt for my niece, I've already posted it to her.

Now.  Back to the present day.

We had the first company come in to do a quote to fix the kitchen floor yesterday, and another company is due tomorrow.
There is some doubt that they can still get the same laminate, even though it's only just 2 years old!
So... I am really hoping like hell that they still have it, cos if they don't they will have to replace ALL the laminate!!!

And if that's the case, I don't WANT LAMINATE put down again.  It's a crap product as far as I'm concerned.  

Hopefully it doesn't come to that though (all being replaced), as it was a nightmare last time.

Right, that's about all I have to yabber on about right now... I'm relieved to be back in a happy place and blogging again.

ONWARD...

Well.. I've had a busy and happy morning!
I went down to Spotlight for some white fabric to make the name pad for Bex and Steve's next baby boy, AND two name wall hangings for Bernie's grandkids who arrived this year.  I work with Bernie at Hospice Shop.

I went to get three fat quarters too, but when I got up to the counter the lady told me that I could get 10 for $20!  That's a huge saving, so I did indeed get 10:

ABOVE: I chose nice brights of course.  They will come in handy at some point.  I had kinda decided NOT to buy any more fat quarters unless I really needed one, because I have quite a few already.  But honestly, you can never have too many!

After Spotlight I went over to my Hospice Shop and found two good buys:

ABOVE:  the lovely wooden mirror, perfect for a bedroom and that funky metal thing ... which I shall use as a candle holder.  I don't think it's acutally a candle holder cos it's got grooves at the top for screwing something onto it... but still, it's perfect for a candle holder don't ya think?

After that I decided, on a whim, to visit Bex and Dante at Playcentre.  That was just lovely as Dante hasn't seen me there before.  His face was PRICELESS when I walked in and sat down near him!

He looked totally bemused, then said 'Hello Grandma"!  Then proceeded to show off in front of me... like he never sees me.  lol

Too cute.  I stayed about 40 minutes, then stopped in at the supermarket for some fresh veges for dinner and came home.

Very happy with my morning.

After my usual lunch in front of the TV (I had some cheese)... I proceeded to prepare dinner.

Tonight:  Mince stew (pork and beef), with bacon and onions.  Mashed potatoes and mini vegetable quiches, broccoli sprinkled with cheese.  

Mixed vege quiche for the kids and mushroom/onion and bacon for the grown ups.  The kids hate mushrooms.

I'm going to have some cos it's all good food, nothing processed.

End of Day:  well an excellent day... dinner was lovely and everyone enjoyed it.
Time to relax for the evening.
