The first thing I have to do today is head to Spotlight for black fabric for my Cat Runners.
I will double check what else I might need so I don't have to go out again later.
I'm parking the kitchen cupboard painting till I've got the Cat Runners done.
And in fact, I might even change my mind again about it! I know, procrastination and fickle minded me. I'm just not 100% sure it's a good idea or not.
My motto on most things is "If in doubt, DON'T", and I am second guessing my decision on painting the kitchen cupboards.
I DON'T like the cupboards existing colour that much, but to paint them all white is a huge undertaking, and one I'm not sure I'm up to.
So don't hold ya breath waiting to see it done!
MIGHT. NOT. HAPPEN.
Now, sorry but I've got a bad taste 'FUNNY' that Steve told me the other night to share:
ABOVE: yeah, you might not laugh, but I sure did. 😂😅😊
I'm not a cat lover, but OK, I'd never burn one.And on that sick note, I'm outta here.
Got some washing to get on, then sort out a grocery list, check what I might need for the next lot of runners and go from there.
1.10 pm: Well, I'm very happy with my morning.I went into town to David's Emporium and got some black fabric at a good price, then Spotlight for some plain black fabric for bindings.
Then off to the Supermarket for some groceries.
Countdown at Te Rapa has so many empty shelves! I was very surprised.
I ended up having to make a 2nd trip to Countdown in Rototuna for stuff the other shop didn't have.
After that I came home, unloaded the groceries and headed into the sewing room.
ABOVE: It is definitely a production line in here.
ABOVE: I put a crate in the sewing room for Coco. To keep her from going outside and eating dirt/rocks/bark etc. And to keep her from getting under foot. She is VERY deaf now and doesn't move out of the way when I prompt her to move... so best to keep ME safe from tripping over her if she's in the crate. Today she put herself in it, and I haven't even had to shut the door. She loves being in there. Weird dog.
ABOVE: 2.45 pm and I'm finally starting the stitching! It sure takes a while to get to this stage when you are making 7 in a row.
6.40 pm: And I'm ready to stop sewing ... it's been a long day. But very productive.
Stew's at the local pub with his mates. I might join him shortly.
9.35 pm: And yep, I ended up at the pub with the mates.
Had a lovely few hours there and back at a friends house. I had my diet coke and some hot chips. So nice. We got two big bowls full of chips for the table, so I couldn't eat them all! lol
That was my mid-week indulgence I must say.
Now... time to get my feet up, OMG they are so swollen tonight. Horrible.
Catch ya tomorrow.
I am a firm believer that when one gets a hinky feeling about doing something, it is always best to step back and reexamine it all. Have fun shopping! Ky Girl
ReplyDeleteThere looks like a lot of cupboards in your kitchen so better to think carefully about whether you want to take that job on. I quite like the existing colour but half white would not be a good look if you were to run out of steam!! Audrey
ReplyDeleteCoco is a good girl and probably feels safe in the crate.
ReplyDeleteIt would be quicker and easier to replace the door/ drawer fronts although much more expense
ReplyDeleteOur shelves are empty too Chris in Melbourne. No pasta, no fresh chicken, no eggs. Heard a USA correspondent on radio yesterday saying eggs in US are $9 a dozen. Marie, Melbourne
ReplyDeleteAaww Coco getting in the crate on her very own like that,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wee treasure ,
Glad you got to go out tonight as well
Nice to have a break away on a week night
Cheers 🥂
