EUREKA!

Here's one for the 'girls'.

How many of you find yourself constantly hitching your bloody bra strap (s) back onto your shoulder during the day?

I do.  A gazillion times a day.  I've used ribbon across my back to hold them in place, but it's a right fag getting it in the right place on ya own.

Yesterday I was using blu tack to level paintings on the wall, and had some left over... so I shoved it under my bra strap. (intending to take it out later, but I forgot)

Anyway... bugger me!  That strap stayed put all afternoon and evening!   I had forgotten it was even there till I came to take me bra off and it was literally STUCK TIGHT to me shoulder!

EUREKA!   I think I'll be using blu tack every day from now on.  

I don't know about you, but having a bra strap slip off ya shoulder all day long is OMG so annoying!  And always just my left shoulder too.  What's with that???

Today I'm in my Studio, working on various projects.  Just not sure what yet, though it really should be more table runners I think.

 ABOVE: These are the two Critters I got finished yesterday.
I now have 4 in the shop.  I won't make any more for now, and see how they go.

ABOVE: The front door area revised.  The Runway painting looks nice there.

ABOVE: Because we now have less furniture in the lounge, I could finally put the flowers in here.  I just need to tidy the arrangement up a bit, it's been mucked up with being in storage and moving.  I might do that first thing this morning, before opening the shop.

ONWARD...

ABOVE: I got mail from Australia today. It took 8 weeks and 1 day to get here. Considering we have a Pandemic going on, that's not too bad! Usually it takes up to 6 weeks to get across the ditch.


We have a super foggy day. Damp and dreary, and I'm sure if I was outside I'd be cold. I'm going to turn the heat pump on in the Studio so it's warm and inviting if anyone pops in.


12.53 pm: And would you believe the fog has only just lifted and we MIGHT get a tiny glimpse of the sun before it sets? lol


I'm toasty warm in my studio... SO damn lucky there's a heat pump in here. I ♥LOVE♥ THIS HOUSE!

ABOVE: I had an order for two of these in this colour ... so I made 4 more this morning. Three of the above are for sale... just saying. *smiles*


No one in the shop so far today, I'm not surprised though, it's such a shitty day.


Once I close up for the day I'm going out to buy a couple more cushions for the brown lounge suite. It's still looking a bit bare.


1.09 pm: And just as I was thinking of closing up... a couple came in. Had a nice browse, and a chat and left again. So even though no sales today, I got some work done and met some nice people.


I'm now going to close up and have some lunch before hitting the shops.

4.42 pm:  Been out, got two more cushions (same as what we already got), and a few more flowers to pad out the arrangement in the lounge, which is yet to be done.  Busy, busy... it will  have to wait until tomorrow now.

We have pork belly in the oven, to be had with roast potatoes and veges.

My back is killing me this afternoon... so time to stop, take a pill and relax.

 ABOVE:  With the two new cushions, and I moved the throw too.
Looks way better.
Really cosy and inviting.

ABOVE:  And see?  Matches really well with our PINK-ish kitchen.  Which I'm not averse to AT ALL.  I know it's very old fashioned, but as long as we are happy... that's all that matters.

Dinner was really lovely.  I'm stuffed now and just want to curl up and relax.

The blu tack has worked bang on all day.  No strap slippage AT ALL.

Might take a bit of getting off later though! lol
