WAITING TILL NEXT WEEK?

 

Yesterday I said I would wait until sometime next week to make one of those floral runners that I showed you yesterday.

HA HA HA!  Like I could wait!

I started one yesterday morning.

And I finished it in the afternoon:

ABOVE:  And there it is. Now before you say it, yes it LOOKS like there's a lot of YELLOW ... but in real life those colours are less yellow than they look here.

ABOVE:  And I don't usually put an expensive fabric on the back, but that fabric just screamed at me.  I had to use it, it's perfect!

And because I'm bored shitless, I shall be making another one today.  I'll try to use less similar shades this time.  Sadly I don't have enough of the gorgeous floral backing fabric for the next one.  

Just remembered, we have family coming for dinner this evening, so I need to pop out to the supermarket for a few things.  Then when I get home I will start work on this lot:

ABOVE:  This is the line up for the second runner in this style.  None of it is stitched up yet.

It's been fun doing a few different runners of late.

It gives people a few more choices at market as well.

9.57 am:   All the jobs are done. Half the packing is already done for our trip away tomorrow.

I went to the supermarket and got what I needed for this evening and the weekend.

I needed fresh bread buns/rolls.... but like, there was SO.  MUCH.  CHOICE.

What to do? What to do?

YEAH

Dinner this evening will be:

Hot Roast Pork, sliced

Hot Roast Beef, sliced

Lettuce Salad (for inside the buns)

Sliced Cheese

Various mayo's and sauces

Followed by... MAGNUM ICE CREAMS.

I think that should be rather yum.

And now I'm in the sewing room, about to make a start on that runner.

ABOVE:  And there it is, DONE.  And that is a wrap on me doing any more sewing for the next few days.

I'm switching into clean up mode, get the sewing room all tidy, house tidy etc.

And I better not forget to put the meat in the oven in a couple of hours!

3.17 pm:  And the sewing room is spic 'n' span.

The roasts are in the oven.

I have to cut up all the buns, and get the salad ready.... luckily I actually bought pre-sliced cheese, one less job to do.

I am starving, and had a little bit of ice cream.  It didn't satisfy me at all.

I am craving the meat and buns!

The aroma of the meat cooking is just starting to waft over me... my mouth is drooling!

Seriously, there's another 3 hours to go till dinnertime.  Booo.

In other news.  I have none! 😂😅😆

I really can't do much else in readiness for our busy weekend right now.  So I'm sitting on me arse watching a movie on Netflix.  Though it's actually a series I think.  Called 'Clickbait'.  It's quite interesting.

Thank God for Netflix, it keeps me entertained when I am being lazy.

ABOVE: Dinner has gone so well, everyone really enjoyed themselves.  Lots of laughs and yakking.

ABOVE:  NEVER give your phone to Steve to take photos for you!!!  

ABOVE:  Lacy LOVED the Gherkins so much that she even drank the gherkin juice!  Gross!

It is now wind down time, and everyone is getting ready to leave soon.

Then Stew and I can start getting the house ready for tomorrow.

Catch ya tomorrow.
