A COUPLE MORE

 

Today it is supposed to rain... and I can't wait for it.  It is so very dry now, the lawns all over the place are crispy and near dead.  I think the only thing grown on our back lawn is clover, the bees are having a blast!

Yesterday I got these three smaller runner tops done:

ABOVE:  I think that will be enough in that colour combo for now.

ABOVE:  Today I am going to work on these two Dragonfly runners.  Again, keeping them small.

I am also going out to Bower Bird (fabric shop) to grab some more of the blue/green fabric in the photo above.  It will come in handy for quite a few runners.

I don't need to do much around the house right now, I'm almost at the point where I can't do anything else until we actually move.  I probably have one or two small loads to take to the storage unit, and also a few things from outside that will go over to Steve and Bex's as well.

It is neat that we can put a lot of our 'outside' stuff (pots, rusty bits etc) around the back of Steve 'n' Bex's home.  It means that we have that much less to move 'on the day'.  

There will be no rush to get it all moved to our new place either, giving us time to get unpacked and settled in first.

I'm so damn organised... I want to do it all NOW!  But, clearly we have to wait. 

Right, I suppose I shall roll over and just stay in bed for a bit longer.  Bower Bird does not open until 9.30 I think, so no rush.  I can probably get one more runner top made while waiting for them to open.

10.20 am:  no sign of rain yet.  Might not even happen.

I have just arrived home after a very successful shopping trip out to Bower Bird.

ABOVE:  I got the last of the blue/green fabric, so I'm happy about that.  I also bought a few other fabrics that will tone in nicely with what I'm making at the moment.

Now I'm going to do a couple of jobs around the house, and then go into the sewing room and get on with those smaller runners.

ABOVE:

One massive tick

off my list.

I cleaned my car.

Inside and out.

It had been bugging me for months... it was so dirty.  Usually Stew does it about once a year.  It's had it's 2025 clean now.  😂

I think he 'loves' cleaning cars as much as I 'love' ironing his work shirts!  lol

It's now lunch time, so I'm taking a break for lunch, then I'll head into the sewing room.

ABOVE: And there we have today's three small runners.  That makes six to quilt and bind tomorrow and the next day.

It's now almost 4 pm and we finally have a bit of rain!

I wonder how long it will last?

I'm hoping to get out of watering the gardens.

THIRTY.  FIVE.  SECONDS.  Yep, that's about how long it rained.  Dammit. I'll have to water the gardens now.

Stew arrived home around 6 pm.  We had some dinner then it started raining around 7.  And it has continued raining, not heavy, but consistent.  YES!  I hope it keeps raining all night.  Our lawns, gardens and farms need rain so much.

Watching the telly now... as per usual.  Yakking with Stew about 'what will go where' etc.... making some plans for our move.

And now I'm gunna bugger off, and be back again tomorrow.
