SOMETHING NEW

 

I did a rather dumb thing at the begining of the month.

Because we had a contract on our home, and we had another home lined up... I ordered two pieces of furniture for the 'new home'.

Stupid move, seeing as our sale fell through.  And there is NO GUARANTEE we will now get the place we have an offer on!

But I still have the new furniture coming.

TODAY.

We didn't even need new furniture.  I have given or sold so much in the past few months, what made me think I needed it?

But there was a place to put the new things... in the potential new home.  

I feel like a right twat.

So anyway, the new shit is arriving today.

I'll probably show it to you.

Be prepared.  99% of the population is going to HATE IT.  

But we like it, and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Now, a change of theme...

ABOVE:  Lily looking so damn adorable, with her hair in a tiny pigtail and bow.  She is a constant delight to all of us.  

Back to right now, I'm gunna get up, do the little bit of housework necessary, then sew the binding on that Square Table Topper.

Catch ya later.

8.50 am:  I've just spent the past hour pottering around in the house, and the garden.

Our tomato plants were not doing well where they were, so I moved them.

Then I had to 'fill the gap' where they were...

ABOVE:  The tomatoes are now here, where they will get the afternoon sun.

ABOVE: And under the trees are some succulents, and the chooks.  That will suffice for now.

I also pruned a couple of trees/shrubs that were getting unruly.  And pulled out my cucumber plants.  This year they simply came to NOTHING.  They tried, I'll give them that, but basically they didn't get enough water.  

I've now put some pots in that garden ... just to fill those gaps as well.

Now... I can move on to something else, something that doesn't make me all hot and bothered.  It's already stinking hot outside.

ABOVE:  I was in the sewing room... ya know, like sewing.  And a bloke bangs on me door.  Whoops!  I totally forgot about them coming with the furniture.

I let them in, they put the furniture in the sunroom, and I start to bloody CRY!

Like, those men didn't know what to think!  

I quickly told them they were HAPPY TEARS, cos I loved the furniture SO MUCH.

They left happy.

And I just looked at it and sniffed some more.

I'm not a twat.   It has made me so very happy.  And no matter where we end up once we sell, I will fit them in somehow.

ABOVE:  A Wingback 'Patchwork' Chair, with matching Ottoman.

ABOVE:  I am in love with this chair!

ABOVE:  And the Ottoman will come in handy to store stuff in.

We had an Ottoman as part of our Brown Lounge Suite, which has now gone to Griffin.   Lacy and Brylee got the other parts of that suite.

Steve and Bex are getting our cream lounge suite once we move, so we will be left with the pale blue leather lounge suite, and the 'Patchwork' furniture.

SO..... what do you think of them???  If you hate them say so nicely! 😂😅😉

OMG it's a hot afternoon.  I've had me lunch, I've done some more sewing.  I've sat in the Wingback chair and just smiled ... life is good.

I am looking forward to a full and busy weekend.

But right this minute, I need to remove the goddam facial hair that sprouts up like evil tendrils from hell.  👺

Gosh!  Thank you for all the lovely comments today about the furniture.  I really didn't expect most of you to like my Patchwork Furniture.  

It is really 'out there', but totally me.  

But in saying that, you really would only want one or two statement pieces.  Which I now have.  

Stew just arrived home from work.  So we shall settle down for the evening, like boring old farts.  And probably like usual, there will be bugger all on the telly.  😕  Shit, I might have to actually talk to Stewie.

8.54 pm:  And I'm done for the day.  Going to bed perfectly happy with my day.  

Catch ya tomorrow.
