MORE MUTED?

 

Someone suggested I make a more 'muted' runner compared to the one I made yesterday.  Hmmm... less colour?  No black?  

NAH.   I am not making another one unless I actually sell that one.  And I don't really do muted.

I made two softer toned runners a while ago in a 'Twisted Pole' pattern, and they have not sold.  So, I'm not tempted to make anything else that is toned down right now.

I don't really plan on making any more runners for a while in fact.  I have plenty to take us over the next few months I reckon.

So... what am I gunna get up to today?  Not a lot.

Usual housework, then I have Archer coming for a couple of hours.  He's off school as he didn't go on School Camp, something he simply did not want to do.

Bex has Baby Playgroup, hence me getting to babysit Archer.

Maybe I'll take him out for lunch?

ONWARD...

11 am.  Ya know that feeling, when you keep thinking of something and it won't leave ya mind?

Well... there was this bag of cornflakes in the pantry, and baking chocolate in the cupboard.

AND... I finally caved in and am cooking Cornflake Brownies again.

The house smells so delish!

I have been craving something sweet for DAYS, and I just have to do it!   Once in a while it won't hurt me I'm sure.

Said every diabetic out there.  *snort*

ABOVE:  Look what popped out of the garden for the first time?

When Stew chopped the pittosporum, lemon and lime trees back, it gave this gorgeous Azalea room to grow and flower!

First time I've ever seen it.  I didn't even know it was there.  It is gorgeous.

ABOVE:  I took the cover off the pool early this year.  And was thrilled to see my wintering programme had kept it almost perfect!  Such a relief, no huge clean up job this summer.  And no GREEN WATER!
I can't wait until it's warm enough to go swimming again.

Still too cold right now, but in a month or so, who knows.

I just took the Brownie base out of the oven... now to let it cool down before I make, and add the Cornflake Caramel topping.  

Seriously, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!  So bad, so bad.

ABOVE:  Well Master Archer polished off almost ALL that sushi!  And a whole bottle of Coke.  No condemnation, Coke isn't a regular thing.  He's now drinking water, now we are home again.

I started another goddam runner didn't I?

I might show you tomorrow.

I might have gone against everything I said this morning.  😠😖😕

And then the bloody iron stopped working!  And nothing I did would make it go.  So sewing had to stop, cos ironing seams is a sheer necessity.

GRRRRrrrrrrr.   I'm gunna now have to go out and buy a new iron.  Tomorrow.

Stew just arrived home. 

And as per usual, we enjoyed a quiet evening in front of the telly.

Catch ya tomorrow.
