MY SITE

So... this is where my site will be come 30th January, for the St Andrews Craft Fair:

ABOVE:  The church is on the corner of Hamilton Road and Victoria Street, it's a very well known corner.

Before the expressway went in, everyone travelling North or South on State Highway 1 had to pass it. 

So, I've got a bit of work to do to have all the Ink Tiles framed and ready to go.  And of course, if I get the time, I will make some patchwork coasters too.  

I've not got any other plans for the day (YET)... so I will catch ya later.

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  "I can do my own hair Grandma!"
Nice Keera, very nice.  

So, I want some plain white paper to put on the very back of the painting backing board, to cover the odd bits of paint I got on them.

I go down to the local Paper Plus shop.  I go in and show them the backing board, and ask then if they have any paper that is that size?

NO is the answer.  I say, anything a bit bigger that I can cut down?

NO is the answer.  BUT,.... they do have some card?

I get taken to look at the card.  It's $1 a sheet.  I ain't paying that much per painting!

So I say thanks.  And the saleswoman leaves me to it. 

I wander around the shop for like, 1 second and come across this:

ABOVE:  Would you LOOK AT THAT!  500 sheets of plain white paper, which can be cut down to size!   For $27.  Ahhh, that's sure MASSIVELY cheaper than $1 a sheet of card.

So, I take the paper up to the counter, eyeball the saleswoman who 'served' me, and hold up the paper.  Then I said "Oh look, plain white paper that will fit my board".  And pay and leave. 

She walked away without saying a word.  DUMB ARSE BITCH.

ABOVE:  (ignore the focus, I was having problems!).... Brylee messed up her hair, so she did it again, all by herself.  "It's even better now Grandma!"

 ABOVE:  7 totally finished.

ABOVE:  By tomorrow midday, these 8 will be finished too.

I tried making a few more little ones this afternoon... but seriously, it just wasn't working.  I've got 4 done, but I'm not that happy with them.  

Dinner is starting to smell yum.   I've got corned beef in the crock pot.  We will be having mashed potatoes, veges and a cheese sauce to go with it.  My mouth is drooling!  I've not cooked corned beef in a few years.

Super yum dinner tonight! Everyone loved the corned beef, though I found it very strong tasting.  Still lovely and I really enjoyed it.

Watching Legally Blonde 2, then going to bed.  It's bloody tiring with a non-stop, yabbering 4 year old in the house I tell ya!  *sigh*
