TALKING ABOUT TATTOOS

We are out of isolation.

And that means we can get out of the bloody house.  Thank God.

Stew wants to go and buy a new hair cutting kit, so he can cut his own hair again.  He's been going to Just Cuts for a few months now, but he's not happy with how they do his hair.

And also the fact that it's never the same person doing his hair, so it's not a consistent cut.

That is top of the 'to do' list.

 I showed you my neck tattoo yesterday.

And Stew said he virtually never notices it!

And we had a short discussion about tattoos.

He wants to get another one.

He has never mentioned it before and I was very surprised when he told me what he wanted to get.

I have a 'Potters Mark',  which is my initials entwined.  I would put it on the base of everything I made when I was a 'Potter'.

Stew wants to get my 'mark' put on his chest!

It seems a bit weird, cos I didn't 'make him'... but kinda nice too.

Instead of having my name tattooed on him, he wants my mark.

So hmmm... maybe it will happen now that he's mentioned it?

As for what my 'mark' looks like... you will just have to wait and see.  Though I'm bound to have mentioned it, or shown it on here sometime over the years.  In fact I know I have.

Later on today I might just start working on making new dining chair cushion covers.

Once I decide on a colour (most likely blue) and design (something simple) I will crack on with it.

12.3 pm:  Finally, we got to leave the house and go shopping.

First up was a boring little grocery grab.

Then we headed over to the Base to look for a hair cutting kit, which Stew got from Noel Leemings.

I started looking around for some new chair pads for the dining room chairs.

The cushions we were using were not really 'chair pads'.

We looked in several places with no success, then headed over to Spotlight.  SUCCESS.

ABOVE:  They are very basic, but I'm going to recover them to match the table runner.  At $12 each they are a bargain.

While on the hunt for said chair cushions, we popped into Early Settler.  Immediately inside the front door was a bed with a gorgeous cushion on it.

We both loved it, and started guessing it's price.

Stew guessed $180, I guessed $130.

It was less than half the lowest guess, so guess what?

ABOVE:  Yeah, we bought a cushion we totally DID NOT NEED.  But it's cute eh?  😂😉😊

After shopping, we decided to have an early lunch before heading home.

ABOVE:  I rang Steve and said "Guess where we are going"?

He said :  "TACO BELL".

Bang on, clever bugger.

7.10 pm:  Yep, I've been absent most of the day!

I had lunch, came home and had a nana nap.

Then I headed into the sewing room to make a pattern for the chair pads.

I made one chair pad cover and realised it was just a bit too small, so although I got it on the chair pad, I will have to adjust the pattern a bit for the next 5.

Now... we have just had a totally lazy dinner of toasted sandwiches!  It was nice not to cook really.

I'm gunna be lazy now and just watch tv till bedtime.
