FISH FISH AND MORE FISH

 Today is supposed to be iffy weather, so we won't be going out and about.

Stew will do his little grocery shop, where he gets fresh fruit and veges. and diet coke for the following week.

I am going to work on the fish runner I was working on yesterday.

So it will be a fish... fish... fish day for me.

My stock is all ready for tomorrow's market, so if I don't finish the fish runner, it won't matter.

As for the market itself, this has become a total common theme of late.  WILL WE GO?

Is the weather going to be OK?

Seriously, it's been 7 months of goddam shitty weather, that has affected almost EVERY market we have done since November last year!

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be 'Passing Showers'.  I have told Stew we need to go because the market it FULLY BOOKED and I've already paid the fee.

And we do have our extra Door/Wall to protect us and the stock from getting wet.

ABOVE: These are the latest three finished Coin Purse/Glasses Cases that I can now take to market.  I think there might be two more to add to my stock by tonight.  Then Bex will get a break as she has run out of the pop tops!

She's ordered more though.  Which is good as I have quite a few more waiting for tops.  😁😊😍 

So... back to now,  it will be a very boring day peeps!

I suggest ya bugger off and find something else to read.  

The only thing that's likely to follow this blurb is a photo or two as I get fish done.

UNLESS something unexpected happens of course.  😂

FORGET THE FISH... for now!

I've had a damn bright idea.  It just popped into my head and I am like, why the hell didn't I think of this earlier?

I've been feeling really guilty about taking up all of Bex's time making the tops for my Glasses Cases and Coin Purses.

I've had a couple of people tell me how (for want of a better word),  UNKIND I am expecting Bex to make the tops.   While Bex has said over and over again she's happy to do them, I still felt guilty.

So when I had this BRIGHT IDEA, I was really happy.

ABOVE:  I can KNIT the tops!  Then hand stitch them on to the fabric cases.  BOOM!!!

This is the first one I'm trying.

It might take a couple if tries to find out what stitch works best for the tops.  This is just a simple rib.  Let's see how it goes.

1.39 pm:  And we are just back from having lunch at Taco Bell.  Very nice it was too.

Then we stopped in at Steve 'n' Bex's so I could pick up some cotton to knit tops with.  (My cotton that I'd bought and given to Bex to use for the tops, just saying.)

Now home and I'm about to stitch the last top on a coin purse, that Bex made for me.

ABOVE:  On the left is a top Bex crocheted for me, and on the right is the top I just knitted.

Both look just fine.

I will knit more now that I know it works perfectly.  Might try a garter stitch one next.

The girls are having a play date at Steve 'n' Bex's, so we will go out again in a couple of hours to pick them up.

ABOVE:  And here is the last Coin Purse to show you in a while.

I just LOVE IT!  So cute.

Do I say 'cute' too often?

I feel like I do.  But come on, it is eh?

I've just made sure all our market stuff is ready for packing.  And now... it's finally back to...

FISH!

8.40 pm:  Well I sewed for the bulk of the afternoon.  Then cooked some chicken nibbles for our dinner.

And now I've been knitting a Case top.

Time to call it a day. 

Catch you tomorrow.
