SEWING ALL DAY TODAY

 

Hi ho!

It's off to Spotlight I go today.

I have run out of black fabric for the binding to finish these:

ABOVE:  Four Dragonfly runners/Square Table Toppers.  I will be quilting and binding them over the next few days.

All going well I should have them all done by Saturday's market at Tamahere.

And that is all I have for now.  It's going to be a quiet day.  After yesterday being quite busy, I'm happy to have a more relaxed day.

I wonder if we will hear anything from our Estate Agent today?  I was so hopeful yesterday afternoon that those viewers were super keen.  You just never know how it's gunna go do ya? 

Even knowing there's a couple of other groups interested does not make this any easier.  

9.45 am:  And I'm just home from Spotlight, with a HUGE smile on my face.

I got an email from Spotlight last night, advising of their latest sale.

And also a 40% off coupon for any 'single item'.

ABOVE:  I grabbed a full, unopened bag of wadding and asked it that was included in the sale?  Like, could I get 40% off it?

The saleslady wasn't sure, so she called for her supervisor.

The supervisor checked the 'Terms and Conditions' of the sale/coupon offer and could see no reason why it wouldn't be included, so I got $300 off that wadding!

SCORE!

I also got the black fabric for a sale price as well.

I'm rather happy with my purchases today I must say.

Now I can start making more binding... which is a bit of a shit job, but needs must.

12 noon:  NEVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO GET YOUR HOPES UP.

Heard from our Estate Agent.  It's a big FAT NO from yesterday's viewers.  They saw something else they preferred.   

So, we continue to wait for that elusive sale.

I'm never baking cookies again.  I'm not going to fucking dust and polish either.  Fuck it all.  So disappointed right now.

ABOVE: And here I sit again. There's a Private Viewing at 6pm. New people.  I got 30 minutes notice. Lucky the house is 100% SPOT ON.  NO cookies fresh out of the oven ... never doing that again. 

And the sewing room is a little bit messy, threads on the floor etc. Too bad.

"Some interest there" is what the agent said.  Heard that before.

ABOVE: This is the only project that got finished today.

It's better then none.

I have a new plan for tomorrow, it might not involve sewing.

It's now 7.06 pm, and I'm done for the day.

I'll catch ya tomorrow.
