LOTS TO DO TODAY

Well... while Stew's home over the weekend, we have a few jobs to get done.

FIRST:  Get Steve over here this afternoon so I can show him and Stew how to care for the pool.

NO WAY do I want to get home to a green, slimy pool!

NEXT: I want to wrap the very few Christmas Presents I've managed to already gather.  No telling if I'll be home by Christmas. I hope NOT, because that means I get to spend it with my MUM.

NEXT:  Send Stew up into the attic space above the garage to hunt down some photos.  I'd like to take a few over for Mum to see again.  

Switching gears now... want to see the painting I made yesterday?

Come on, of course ya do!

ABOVE:  It started out like this!  And let me assure you, it took some planning and execution... get it wrong and you end up with MUD instead of lovely, vibrant colours.

ABOVE:  And this was the result!  EXACTLY how I envisioned it to look.  I'm utterly thrilled to bits with it.

I've now packed up all my painting paraphernalia, and will get back to it probably next year.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my painting splurge this past week.

I am totally guilty of procrastination!  I've still not finished cutting up the fabric strips that I will be taking with me to Australia!  

😆😅😂 I will get them done today or tomorrow.

Right, I suppose I should get out of bed and start the day.  Get some washing on, bla bla bla.

ONWARD...

WOW!  Midday and not one comment!  You all better be having a fantastic day is all I can say.  *sniff*

YES!  I finally finished cutting out all my fabric strips.

Griffin arrived and helped me pack and tidy up the sewing Studio.

He and Stew have now gone out to get some lunch.

Then I'm going to get another load of washing on (and show Stew again how to do it).

After that I think I will be going through photos... 

ABOVE:  cute boys.  Big and small.

So this evening Steve came over to watch the rugby game with Stew.  So of course, we ended up with Bex and the boys too.  So a busy, ever so slightly noisy evening ensued.

I hope the boys sleep in tomorrow for them, they were up much later than 'normal'.

And now... it's time to sign off for the day.  It's been a good day, got everything done that I wanted done.
