POUCHES

 OK... today is gunna be a sewing day for sure.

I want to get 2-3 larger pouches made in readiness for the market we have on Saturday.

The two I made a couple of weeks ago were sold straight away, so fingers crossed that can happen again.

When Bex and I were at Card Night last week our hostess used some really lovely cup 'n' saucer sets.

Bex and I loved them, so Bex went online right there and then, and ordered us some.

They arrived yesterday:

ABOVE:  Now I have two gorgeous cups 'n' saucers.  They are a very generous size, and lovely to hold.

I will definitely use them when I have my VERY OCASSIONAL hot drink!

ABOVE:  So that's how this area looks without the big coffee table on the rug.  

Do ya think it looks OK like that?

When we have visitors, I've got  a couple of little side tables that I can put out to be used.

But for now, I feel like it opens up the room quite well.

ABOVE:  My only quandary now is that the dining area is a bit cluttered.

And clutter is what I'm furiously trying to eliminate, as much as my compulsive self can stand! 

Right, I'm off to make a start on my day.

I hope you pop in and say 'Hi'... so I don't feel lonely!

TWO positives for the day...

The serviceman is coming in 12 days to look at my non-functioning recliner.

AND even BETTER... the goddam ITCH is GONE!

Finally.  5 weeks of hell.  GONE.

ABOVE:  One down, a couple to go.

The purple/green colour combo is so neat!

But the next one will be different.

ABOVE:  Another view of the family/dining room.   The larger coffee table fits between our chairs perfectly, and we have more room to put stuff on it now.  Though NOT too much stuff!

I would love to move the 'cart/trolley' from the dining area, but have absolutely nowhere to put it.

Same for the two seater couch in there.  

And as Stew pointed out last night, the two seater does get used when we have more than a couple of visitors.  He does not want to get rid of it.

I will TRY to find somewhere else for the trolley though, as it really does clutter up that area.

I just had my lunch, stir fry veges with my mince/bacon/tomato/onion mix on top.  Very yummy.  That should keep me going all day now.

And now... back to my sewing.

ABOVE:  Well... I did three today, and I might even get a 4th one done later on.

I have to laugh, they all ended up in the same colour ways!  Even though I added some Aqua Blue and Lilac.  Oh well, they are gorgeous. 

Now... time for a break.

7.15 pm:  Well that was a nice long break!  But not really.  I did some more sewing, mucked around with that bloody trolley till I found a place for it, out of the dining room.

I'll show you tomorrow.

Right now, it's time for some dinner.  Crackers/cheese 'n' ham I reckon will do me.

I can see how older people or people on their own don't bother with cooking dinners!  It's a fag.

Now that Stew and I do our 'dinners' at midday, it makes the end of the day so much easier.  Hmmm... isn't that what happens in Retirement homes too?  I'm sure they get their main meal at lunchtime. 

Must be some sort of reasoning to it.  

Anyway, I'm outta here.  It's time to just sit and relax, I've had a busy day.
