A QUIET DAY?

 


Right.  I'm not sure what I am going to do today.

I could make another runner, or two?

Or just have a quiet day.

Yesterday's headache really drained me, and made me feel quite ill.

I am hoping like hell once I get this damn tooth pulled out the headaches stop.

In the meantime, it's just painkillers that keep me going some days.

As we have a market tomorrow, I'm really thinking a quiet day would be the best idea for me.

So, maybe I'll just blob out and watch something on Netflix?

Let's wait and see.


Ever since we put a mattress topper on our bed, it has frustrated me that the bedspread was a bit short on the sides.
So today I finally did something about it.
I took the white bedspread off the single bed, chopped it up, and sewed it onto my bedspread.

ABOVE: So now it reaches the floor all around.
I took the salmon pink end blanket off my bed, and put that cute little one on, cos I needed the larger end blanket for this:

ABOVE: It is now the 'bedspread' for that single bed.  Looks fine to me.

While doing all that, I had dye in me hair.

When the time was up, I washed it out and toned it with purple shampoo.   Conditioner next, then *sigh*... leave it to dry.  I'm hoping it's not too yellow!

I completely refuse to spend hundreds of dollars on my hair ever again!  The dye cost $17 from The Chemist Warehouse.  Awesome.

NOW, I'm going to put me feet up and relax for a little while.  

1.52 pm... did I relax?

ABOVE: NOPE!  I made this smaller Braid Runner instead.  
But THAT IS IT for today!

I'm going to tidy up the sewing room a bit later on, then walk away from it till after Sunday's Open Home.

Stew and I are going to our favourite Indian Restaurant for dinner tonight... something to look forward to.

When we get home from that, we will be packing the car in readiness for an early start in the morning.  Korikori Market here in Rototuna, so we don't have far to travel.  Yaaa.

I just had a couple of girls call in on their way home from a meeting in Auckland.  And I felt stink!  I had not brushed my hair since washing it... it was all fluffy.  AND worse yet, I had not one iota of makeup on!  Horrors!  I felt naked.

So once they left I did the necessary, cos I can't go out to dinner looking like a hag can I?

ABOVE: There we go, such an improvement!  I'm very happy with how my hair came out this time.  Hardly any yellow tinges, thanks to purple shampoo.

WTF?  I didn't know you could leave a comment Darling!  Thank you for such a nice one too.  See you soon you hunk.

7.50 pm:  And that's it for the day.  We enjoyed a lovely dinner, then once home we packed the car for market.
Now... time to chill out, watch some mindless TV till bedtime.
We won't be up late as we will be getting up at 5.30 in the morning.

Catch ya tomorrow.
