*** GOD HELP MY BANK BALANCE ***

I stumbled onto something on You Tube the other night... and I've now got a burning desire to try this:



***  ACRYLIC PAINT POURING  ***


ABOVE: It's Liquid Paint Pouring!  Messy.  Sort of similar to the Alcohol Ink Painting I did a year or so ago, but using paints instead of ink.
OMG I love it!
And like I NEED to add another 'hobby' to my already full days?

But, I am going to give it a try ... and SOON.

But certainly not today.  Today I have my cleaning job to do at 'P's.  Then I will be coming home to sew.

I got a commission for a large Wonky House Runner last night.  The lady saw my Runners at the Market on Sunday, and text me last night with the dimensions/colours etc that she wants.  She's already paid a deposit too!
Cool eh. 

It's so LOVELY when people really appreciate and love my work!   I am still waiting to hear from the Real Estate Agent who commissioned a House Runner two months ago too!  I might just give her a phone call soon... see what the hold up is.

But for now... I better get up and get the day started.  

ONWARD...

12.45 pm:  And there I am, dusting, polishing, vacuuming, cleaning... killing a million spiders and YOU?
Nothing.  Not a word from anyone!
Are ya all so busy ya can't be bothered stopping and saying SOMETHING? Pffffft.

This blog has been looked at/read 300+ times already TODAY... !  Not good enough.  Maybe I will go on strike?  

Yeah.  Might take a break for HOURS.

Have some lunch.  Watch some TV.  Do some sewing.  

You all have a nice day. *sniff*

*** ***  I'm thinking of going into Hamilton for some paint and shit ! *** *** 

I didn't go into Hamilton after all.  Decided I've got too much on my plate right now... but I will be trying it sooner rather than later.


ABOVE:  Me Mum decided to send me a photo of a runner I made, on her dining room table... cos she loves it.  Thanks Mum.
And I'm not BLITHERING!  I was having a bitch! lol

3.35 pm:   And I forgot something quite 'important' to tell you about today!!!

Brylee met a young man at her work, and they have been dating for a few weeks now.  And today, he came home with her for dinner.

Yep... we finally get to meet Jordan.

And so far, I'm quite impressed!


 ABOVE:  Meet Jordan.  He's rather cute.  
And he baked cookies!!!!   YEP, he baked.


 ABOVE:  Double chocolate no less!  Bloody YUM!
Not bad Jordan, you can stay for dinner.


ABOVE:  I watched him arrive in his car... it's a bloody PURPLE SHAGGIN' WAGON!!!   When I said that to him, he had NO IDEA what I was talking about.
This indicates he's a good boy.  *smiles*

Brylee... keep going out with him, but don't get in the back of that wagon!

DOGSTARS:  Yes, he gave me his permission. *smiles*

9.35 pm:  Home from Card Night with the girls, another very enjoyable evening had by all.
I didn't win, or lose tonight.  But it's not about winning or losing really, it's about having fun.

Time to sign off for the day... catch ya tomorrow.

OH and THANK  YOU for all the lovely comments!  {{{HUGS}}}

  12. Jordan seems lovely - he baked cookies!!!!!

    I suspect the term "shaggin wagon" may be less about him understanding the meaning & more about showing our age lol

    1. Yes it's a station wagon here too... but anything that you can put a mattress in the back is also a 'shaggin wagon'. lol

    And we've probably all frightened him off now!!
