MID WEEK

 

Today I am going out to Bower Bird (fabric shop) to get a panel I've been waiting for.

I was supposed to be rung when it arrived... but that didn't happen for some reason.

Lucky I spotted it online.

I plan on turning it into a runner... one I might even keep for myself.  We'll see.

Tomorrow is a public holiday, so Stew and I have been trying to think of something 'different' for us to do/go.

Any ideas people?  We seem to have DONE most things in our region, places to visit, bla bla bla.

ABOVE:  This bulb has not only grown, it's flowered.  It's one thing that I will be digging out of the garden and taking with us when we move.  I will probably put it in a big pot.

ABOVE:  I love seeing the flowers coming out in the garden.   

ABOVE:  I have no idea what this plant is, a succulent of some sort.  Is that it's 'flower' I wonder?  It's rather fetching, even though it has no colour.  Maybe it's still thinking about getting some colour?  Dunno.  😊

Right, that's me for now, I'm going to do the housework, get myself ready and go out for that panel.

11.21 am:  Well, I almost talked myself out of going to Bower Bird this morning.

I was like, do I really need any more fabric right now?  

But, I decided to go, because I had been waiting for that fabric to arrive for months and months.

SO GLAD I WENT!

She was having a 25% off sale.  BOOM.  I was meant to go.

ABOVE:  I'm not sure what I shall do with it yet, but I'm leaning towards a small quilt for the top of our spare bed now, instead of a runner.  

On my way home I took Coco for a walk along the river.  Marley was at Steve and Bex's, I hate walking both dogs at the same time.  They get all tangled up, no matter what I do to avoid it.

ABOVE:  There is a river walk just down from Steve and Bex's which I'm coming to love.  It has a couple of hills, which are OK.  And it's fairly open, so I feel safe.  Some places are too secluded, and single walkers have been warned not to put themselves in a position where they are not visible.  There's some nasty arse people around.  Sad.

Anyways, I'm home now, and about to make an early lunch.  Then I am going to ponder the new fabric... but not make a decision on what to do with it yet.

5 pm:  And I've spent a good bit of time on my jig saw this afternoon.

Then I ventured into the sewing room to suss out what to do with my new fabric.

I think I will make the panel into a wall hanging (thanks for all the suggestions 😊).  It took me quite a while to think about what to use as the border.

I've come up with some options, bearing in mind I don't have many fabrics here at the house any more.  It's ALL in storage.

But ... I'll show you tomorrow what the options are.  Then you can give me your input.

6.21 pm:  Stew arrived home, and we discussed tomorrow's plan.

And we have come up with a place to visit, somewhere we have not been in many years.  It's a beach community.  We love visiting beaches.

So happy we came up with something to do.

Zealong Tea Estate was a nice idea, if you actually enjoy tea.  I loathe it.  lol

So that idea got thrown out the window pretty much immediately.  I understand they do a lovely High Tea there, but yeah, nah. 😂😅😉

ABOVE:  What the hell purpose do Cicada's have in this world, other than to drive me crazy with their incessant noise????

I swear I want to kill them all.  Slowly.

My ears have been ringing with their noise for hours.  Grrrrr.

Marie:  You are nuts... said every so lovingly!

lol

Right, it's bedtime.  I've been doing me puzzle for a couple of hours, while watching tv.  Can't see straight again!

I'll be back.... tomorrow.
