I'm seriously considering going out and getting a hair dye, and doing me own hair.
Thinking of spending between 4-5 hours in the hair salon is doing my head in. My roots are looking shocking, and the grey hair! OMG that shit is ramping up. Nasty.
So, yeah. I will probably go to the Chemist Warehouse today and get a dye. Non peroxide though, cos I doubt my hair will handle that.
What else is on my agenda today? Sorry but it's bound to be a repeat of yesterday. Working in me sewing room. Bit of housework. bla bla bla.
ABOVE: See that little terracotta pot on the right? I painted it blue 20 odd years ago... I reckon it needs re-painting. Maybe I'll do that today? It's been bugging me for the last couple of years, AT LEAST.
ABOVE: I put all my Zippered Pouches on the table and shelving unit late yesterday, to see how it would look. I love how it makes them more visible. I have room for two more on there 😊😉😆.
Christy: WW is OK... I had a small gain (200 grms) last week. Stayed the same this week. It's a slow process this time around, cos I'm OLD. And lazy. And like food too much. But I never stop trying.
For those who asked: I got carried away in my sewing room yesterday and forgot about Card Night! By the time I remembered, it was too late to go over.
Right, I'm off to start the day. Catch ya later.
12.55 am: Another busy morning out and about for me.
First up was the Chemist Warehouse for these:
ABOVE: The hair dye and some new eye shadow. I'll probably do me hair tomorrow, I can't be arsed right now.
After the Chemist Warehouse I went out to Gordonton, to Wairere Nursey and found their LAST Princess Maud Azalea:
ABOVE: I hope this one doesn't die! I think it will go in the rockery, which means moving some rocks this weekend. Sorry Darling.
Because I was in Gordonton, I stopped into Grandmothers Garden:
ABOVE: I really love this place, not just for their fabrics. Their gardens are gorgeous too.
ABOVE: Obviously, I did find a 'couple' of fabrics to buy.
I had to stand and wait for 20 minutes while the only other customer in the shop decided how much of each fabric she wanted... I swear she took so bloody long I almost walked out. There was one single person working in the shop today, hence the loooooong wait.
So now that I'm home I shall have some lunch then head into the sewing room. Which means I probably won't update again till dinnertime.
Steve hides bottle tops around my house. It's a thing...
ABOVE: That wasn't subtle at all son. 😂😅😉
It is now 6 pm and I have done virtually nothing this afternoon. Watched a movie. Had a nana nap. Made ONE zippered pouch. Now I have to get dinner.
Oh ya.
Nice quiet evening. Coronation Street is getting interesting! And that's a wrap of the day.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Pouches look so cool all together on display
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing in a group. That will attract attention for sure!
ReplyDeleteI like the weathered pot - it's looks like you paid extra for the "distressed" look. It would look cute with fresh paint too, I am sure.
Go to the salon. Bring your phone. Get pampered and play games. Post blog updates. Relax. Enjoy.
Azaleas like an acidic soil. The pouches look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSo annoying when a customer doesn’t know what they want and they are actually getting served! Having worked in retail I feel for the shop assistant, especially being on her own, and seeing customers waiting (and possibly getting antsy and cranky) and there isn’t a lot she can do 🤷♀️ until she is finished serving the annoying customer. Should always be two employees on duty in my opinion. I tend to take a deep breath if I’m in the position you were in Chris and try to just go with the flow, not worth getting worked up about.
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't get antsy or worked up... I found a chair and sat on it with my fabrics on the floor in front of me. And just waited, and waited...
Delete👍👍👍

DeleteWas more fun when it wss the 20$ note doing the round rather that bottle tops
ReplyDeleteDoes Garnier Nutriss not have peroxide in it in New Zealand? It does in the US.
ReplyDeleteYes it does. I gave up trying to find one without Peroxide in it.
DeleteLove the fabric on the right!
ReplyDeleteWow I love those fabrics Chris. Kj
