WALK, THEN WHAT?

 Amanda, Lacy and I are heading out nice and early for our lake walk.  The weather is looking good, a bit cloudy but not raining.

NOT that I'd mind if it did rain.  I love walking in the rain.  It means I don't get too hot.

After our walk I will come home and ponder my next project.

Maybe I will make a start on that new blue quilt I got yesterday.  OR find the one I bought ages ago in Rotorua, and start that one?  Seriously, it cost a huge amount of money and I've not done a thing with it.

Was it cats?  Or dogs?  I can't remember!

Either way, I will start one of them today.  

You will have to wait and see which one, won't that be fun for you!  

😊😉😅😂  I know you are all gunna be hanging off ya seats in anticipation.  Right?

9.48 am:  Well the weather was perfect for our walk this morning.

A very cold wind was blowing, so I didn't overheat. 

Just Amanda and I this morning as Lacy was in too much pain.

She has FINALLY taken herself off to the Doctor, which we have been telling her to do for over a week.

ABOVE:  I'm slowing increasing the distance we walk... but trying to keep the pace up.  Succeeding so far.  😊😉

Since talking about choosing a project to start on, I have other plans.

My sewing room is getting a huge tidy up.

I have fabric and half finished projects, and boxes all over the bloody place.

So, that's my mission today, to sort it all out.  

Oh and that kit I bought in Rotorua?  It's CATS.

WTF was I thinking buying a cat quilt kit?  I don't even LIKE cats!

Bex just called in after having a Glucose Tolerance Test, which involved a few blood draws.  She's a fainter/vomiter when it comes to needles ... but luckily neither happened today.

She gave me a reason to take a break from the big tidy up.  I needed it.

It's going to take me literally ALL DAY.  I am doing a thorough job if it this time, not just vacuuming the floor.

OH and I've decided to SELL the Cat Quilt Kit.  I'm simply not going to do it.  I don't even like it now.

So Bex kindly put it on a couple of places on Facebook that she thought might work for selling it.  So now we wait and see if anyone wants it.

Once the sewing room is back in order I will definitely be starting the blue quilt kit I bought yesterday.

3 pm.

OMG I'm exhausted!

I am about half way through?  Not really sure how much longer this is going to take.

But for now, I've done this:

ABOVE:  Left photo is what used to be the 'craft' cupboard.  Right side is how it looks now, with all quilting/fabric stuff in it.

I'm ashamed of how that craft cupboard looked !   I had really let it go feral.

ABOVE:  Now all the other 'craft stuff' is in this cupboard in the spare middle bedroom.

In the bottom is my 'going to patchwork group' stuff.  Trolley, bag, cutting mat etc.

So now I've got to sort out all my fabric fat quarters/similar sized pieces of fabric into these:

ABOVE:  I have so many of the same colours... they will fit so much better in these boxes.  

Instead of these:

ABOVE:  Some of these boxes are so messed up!   It will be wonderful to get them all sorted out.

They are what 'inspired' me to do this big tidy up.

I dreamed about it.

And when I dream about doing something, I gotta do it.

But right  now, I really need to take a good break.

I might not even get back to this until tomorrow.

It's not going anywhere.

Pfffft... I kept going, and going... until my back couldn't take it any more.  So I stopped at 6.15 when Stew arrived home from work.

Then I cooked us some dinner, beef stew and mashed potatoes.  Now?

I'm not moving from my chair till bedtime.
