FISHIES

 Here we go.

My first Fish Runner is about to get truly started.

ABOVE:  I have one more fish to choose fabric colours for, then I can start cutting out fish.

So exciting, I've been looking forward to getting back to this project.

ABOVE:  Another project.  That conifer is gunna get the chop.

Down to the ground.  It lost more branches in the storm.  And now it just looks a mess.

So, we have to decide if we pay someone to come and remove it, or do it ourselves.

I checked out some Arborist websites last night, and yeah.  Could cost A LOT.  I'm thinking we might do it ourselves, even if it takes us a while to bring it down, bit by bit.

Oh and also, after the storm, you can bet there's hundreds, if not thousands of downed trees needing to be chopped up and removed.  So we probably can't get anyone to do it right now anyway.

Now... I might just lie here and read the news and look at YouTube for another hour.  No point getting up early eh?

Morning Felicity!

I am awake.

I got up at my  usual time (around 8 am) and went straight into the sewing room.

Where I've been busy cutting out fabric, and fusing it to the backing fabric of the new runner.

ABOVE: That has taken me over 3 hours!

It takes time to work out just where to put everything.

But it's done and ready for stitching now.

I have stopped for lunch, and to put my feet up for a little while.

Lunch done... and now back to it.  

Gorgeous day here BTW.  Crickets chirping.  Sun shining.  Hardly any wind.  

Hard to believe in other parts of the country people are still dealing with havoc and destruction, and loss of life.  So very sad.

4.10 pm:  ANON:  I am feeling quite a bit better today thank you.  😊

There's been a lot of thunder this afternoon!  But no rain.  Weird.

I'm back in the sewing room, edging the freakin' fish.  

Stew just got home and we are heading over to The Base to pick up his new prescription.  He's now been put on Jardiance like me... so should do well on it, cos I have.

It's a fairly new, and a very effective Diabetes medication.  It CAN help with weight loss, but I didn't lose any weight on it at all.... going on a diet did that.  I was on Jardiance for 6 months prior to joining WW, just to clarify.

When we get home it will be our usual evening routine.  Dinner.  TV.  Bed.

OH, I'm half way through the Fish Runner, so I should be able to get it finished in time for the market on Saturday.  NOT that I expect it to sell then, but ya never know do ya?

I am SUPER happy with how the fish are looking!  I will show you the first two tomorrow.
