First of all... Thank You to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday. It was much appreciated, and brought a smile to my face. 💙💗💚
Today I am starting a new sewing project. It's going to be a bit of a 'Challenge', as it's a little bit fiddly.
It's an order, for Christmas, so I have plenty of time to get it done.
I will be going to Spotlight first thing this morning to get the orange fabric. Not that I expect to be cutting it out today.
But it's a start.
The other thing I will be doing today?
NOT EATING CHOCOLATE/SWEETS/CAKE all day!
OMG that is pretty much what I did yesterday. I was in such a funk.
Not even sure why. Just a whole combination of things getting on top of me. I am trying to adjust my attitude. MUST. BE. MORE. POSITIVE.
Find the happiness in life, and be so thankful for what I do have. A very loving family and the most AMAZING, LOVING husband any girl could ask for.
Right, enough misery guts.
I'm off to start me day.
Catch ya later.
ONWARD...
12.24 pm, and it's been another busy morning for me.
I had to re-visit the bank as my card wouldn't work. I also spent a good half an hour there while they set up internet banking for me. Talk about a rigmarole! So many steps involved.
But, it's all done now, and me EFTPOS card works.
Just as well, cos I did use it a couple of times this morning.
Then out to Tamahere (Bower Bird), for Steam a Seam and that cute blue/teal fat quarter.
After that, chemist for the next month's supply of Trulicity (ain't killing me appetite), and finally Spotlight for the orange fabric.
Now (sigh), home and having some lunch.
5 pm: I've spent the last couple of hours in the sewing room, trying to work out how to put that LOGO on the fabric. With so many small lines and curves ... I'm thinking it's A NO to that! Far too intricate for me.
I'm gutted. I might try again tomorrow, but it's stressing me out far too much right now.
Well it's been a nice evening. I'm thoroughly enjoying watching 'Matlock' on the telly. Kathy Bates in a new programme. LOVING IT.
Catch ya tomorrow.
You do have an amazing family, those we we see on your blog anyway. Be happy. Lots of love there !!
ReplyDeleteIs there a way of using the copier/iron on stuff to recreate the logo? I have not used any of those products in 25+ years. They used to have to be kept out of the sun. I have no idea about current products.
ReplyDeleteOr having someone scan it and then machine appliqué it on to runner?

Embroider I meant machine embroider
DeleteStriped fabric?
DeleteBirthday blowout done now back to the healthy eating that makes you feel good 💕
ReplyDeleteBirthdays are allowed to be a blowout lol. But back to normal today. You are so loved not only by family but friends like me.
ReplyDeleteTry and go a day without swearing that'll be a challenge 😂😂 did Kiwibank ask why you closed your account? GM 💙💙
ReplyDeleteThat would be called the 'IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE' my friend. I swear like a trooper. I'm not proud of it, it's just a fact.
DeleteAs for the bank... no they didn't ask. I told them in no uncertain terms why I was hauling out all my money and taking it across the road to another bank! Wankers, all they had to do was change some notes for me. How goddam hard would that have been????
DeleteLove your shopping. Tool box is a good idea. Kj
ReplyDeleteI have a whole platoon of swearing troopers inside
ReplyDelete“I kid you not”
Obviously I cannot see all the logo but I can see why it would be difficult! 🤨.However I was wondering whether you could use bias tape for the orange on to the grey, or vice versa for all the fine stripes. The bigger pieces could appliqué on as long the fabric & bias will need to be good matches. Just a thought but you sounded so fed up I thought any idea might help. Chin up & keep going 🤞👍💕
ReplyDeleteOMG - Making a LOGO out of fabric sounds like a nightmare. I would charge $2000 for the first one and $200 for each one thereafter. To account for the "figuring out how the heck to do this" part of the project.
ReplyDeleteAllow yourself to be bummed. Nobody can or should be happy ALL the time. If they are - they are lying! Ok, maybe not... But I do think people send a more positive life situation out into the world of Social Media than what they actually feel.
I have encountered a phrase " Positivity Toxicity".
I am part of it - with all the "POSITIVE" worry stone messages that I create.
I am working on a new line that addresses the anxiety, fear, stress, etc, that people feel.
I would buy... FUCK OFF, NO JUST NO, GRUMPY, etc! lol
