# 2 AGAIN

So... yesterday's painting, Kaleidoscope #2 had to be tweaked.

This is the result:

ABOVE:  Sadly, the photos really don't do them justice.
Everyone who sees them 'in person' says the same thing.

I won't be making another one today as I've almost run out of shelves in  the Drying Room (formerly known as 'The Multi Purpose Room).  Gawd what a mouthful that was.  Much better just saying the Drying Room.

*** πŸ˜†πŸ˜…πŸ˜ *** 

Now, a little update on The Old MOO.  She is still in hospital, still awaiting more tests/scans, and results.
She's had some pretty horrible days really.  Lost lots of weight, but NOT HER MARBLES.
She is being well cared for in Coffs Harbour Hospital, which is very comforting for me.
It's horrible being so far away from her, but even if I was there right now, I'd only be able to see her (at the most) every other day, as she's only allowed ONE visitor, once a day.
Thanks Covid-19.

So what am I doing today?  Well... me shop will be open so I might do some sewing.
And that's it for now.
Catch ya later on.

ONWARD...

11.30 am:  It's damn quiet here.  Stew and Brylee are at work.  The dogs ain't talking to me.
No one in the shop.  Hardly anyone out walking.
Boring.

I made an Owl:

ABOVE:  I used part of an old blanket on the front.  They are quite popular, soft toys made from old blankets for some reason.  I prefer the pretty fabric ones myself.  But, everyone is different.

The minute I can close up, I'm going out to get a few things from the shops.


Maybe NOT Chartwell Square though.  Some F*#cking idiot placed some homemade bombs there overnight!!!  Not much more information on that right now though.  No one has been hurt, and that's the most important thing.

UPDATE on the 'bomb' situation.  Seems someone tried to use an explosive device (or 3) to blow open an ATM machine on the exterior of the mall ... didn't succeed.  But the mall is still closed while the police investigate.

I'm about ready to close up the shop and head out shopping.

4.25 pm:  And I'm home from the shops.  Didn't get all I wanted but never mind.  I had wanted to get a larger canvas with a discount coupon I had from Spotlight, but they didn't have the right size so I just left it.

There will be another day when they do have them in.  And by then I will be more confident with the painting too.
Those HUGE canvas's just scare the shit outta me!  
πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ƒ

I've got Lamb Chops out for our dinner tonight.  No cooking (except the veges).  Loving that.

8 pm:  Well I've not been able to talk to The Old Moo today.  But I'm hoping she has seen all the lovely comments left for her!  Wow, thanks everyone for thinking of me Mum.
I hope to catch up with her at some point tonight, so will let ya all know how she's doing ... tomorrow.

Time to sign off for the day.
Tomorrow is going to be fun.

Painting.
Lunch with Stewie.
Shopping for new shelves in the afternoon.

SHOPPING... Whoop whoop!

  4. Hello Chris' Mum... aka The Old Moo!!! What an awful time for you, especially with this Covid thing to add to the mix. I know it's really hard for Chris to be over here when you are unwell - she'd be on a plane in a flash if she could. Sending you the very best wishes from New Zealand :)

  13. Sorry to hear your mum is held up in hospital and I can empathise with not being able to go over and visit her while she is unwell. Fingers crossed the doctors and nurses over there take good care of her and get her well enough so she can go back home real soon!

  17. Sorry about your Mum. Can she have visitors in the hospital? Most places here in USA don't allow visitors during the pandemic - so it is miserable for the patients AND their families.
