RIGHT BACK TO IT

 I have a list of things to do before the next market, which is a Twilight Market at Tamahere.  I've never done a Twilight Market before, it runs from 4 - 8 pm.  It is on the 10th of December.

Therefore I have exactly 10 days to get ready for it.

I'm making a runner/sign to hang on the front of our Gazebo, saying 'TABLE RUNNERS & MORE'... because seriously, there seems to be a lot of people who don't know what my runners are.

We found this out at the last market after several people asked what they were?

They thought they were wall hangings.  And of course, they can be wall hangings.

My Reindeer Runners have certainly been used as wall hangings by a few people.

I have part of the 'TABLE RUNNERS & MORE' sign already made, I just had to make the 'TABLE' to tack on to it.  I should finish it today sometime.

Then I need to get some velcro so I can attach it to the Gazebo front, which already has velcro across the front (handy!).

ABOVE: This is the little corner stand I found in Wanganui.  It was in a second hand shop... so not too expensive.

I WAS going to paint it white, but now I'm not so sure it's necessary?

What do you think?  

Bearing in mind it would be quite a job to sand it down and paint it in time for market.

I now need to make at least two more UCKI PLANTS to fill the stand.  Maybe three.

Which means I will need to get more glue sticks from Spotlight, and the velcro.  I will do that this morning.

There ya go... I'm going to be a busy bee for the next week or so doing all that.

Catch ya later.

11.59 am:  Ahhhh there's something special about this:

Gotta love it.

She's been over doing some cleaning.

And I've been making my runner/signs for market.  Coming along nicely too.

We will be stopping soon for some lunch I suppose.

I had to go out around 1 pm.  Worst time to be on the road today.  We are having a HUGE Thunderstorm, with TORRENTIAL RAIN.

ABOVE:  Stopped in traffic, going nowhere.  Total whiteout moments after this photo.

Then thunder and lightening for over an hour already.

Glad to be home and not out in that.

I did some sewing this afternoon... then Bex and Archer called in after school for a chat.  Dante has gone on his first ever school camp.  He's away for a couple of days.  Very excited young chap on the bus this morning.

Stew just got home and is about to heat up his dinner... pre-made Ravioli.  

My eyes are sore from sewing, and just tired I expect.  Another early night for me I think.

Right I'm back, but just to say nite nite.  I'm off to bed, can't keep me eyes open.
