WHAT WAS I THINKING?

 

I was looking around my sewing room last night, thinking "What the hell was I thinking"?

I'd packed it ALL UP just a week ago, thinking I'd not be doing any more sewing until after we have moved!!!

Then I saw the scrappy dolls on facebook.  *sigh*

Now I'm back making a freakin' mess in the sewing room.

ABOVE:  I forgot this photo from yesterday... it shows Keera doing the final stitching on her very own scrappy doll.  I just love it.

And she loved making it so much.  I was impressed on how quickly she mastered the machine too... it's not a simple machine.

ABOVE: My friend Sharon put some of this on me 'wispy bits' of hair yesterday.

ABOVE: it worked pretty well, so now I'm going to go online and get some of my own.  

Today I'm going to continue making another scrappy doll or two.  I have one for market already, so would like to have two more done by Friday.

Not that we are expecting a spectacular market!

ABOVE:  The weather forecast is DREADFUL!  We have a massive storm system heading our way... it will probably hit us tomorrow.  Tropical Cyclone Tam in fact.

We have done the Tamahere Market in a tropical Cyclone before btw.  It wasn't fun.  This storm MIGHT be over it's worst by Saturday... but we are not holding our breath on that.

Right, I'm off to make a start on my day.

ABOVE:  10.30 am: I now have two cute scrappy dolls for market.  I'll probably make another one this afternoon.  They are such fun to make.

ABOVE:  It's getting dark outside.

No rain yet, but the clouds are forming and moving across the sky from the North/East.  Usually we get bad weather from the West ... not today.

ABOVE:  And there ya go, # 3 for market, but the 5th one made in the past two and a half days.

I can probably turn out 3 a day easily, but luckily, I really don't need to.

If the market weather this Saturday is wet, wet, wet, we probably won't have many people come, so sales will be right down.  I might not even sell a Scrappy Doll.  But, we won't know till the day eh?

I'm taking a break now, then a bit later on I'll go back into the sewing room and tidy it up, vacuum the floor and so on.

Well it would seem that the last Scrappy doll I made is already sold.  She will be on her way to Wellington tomorrow.  Thanks KJ for once again buying something of mine.

Now I get to make another one sooner than I thought.  Yaaa.

We still don't have any rain, but certainly thunderous looking clouds, and the wind is getting up too.   I love a good storm, just not on a market day!

9.35 pm:  Coronation Street is on, so I'm sat watching it.  Then I'll be off to bed.  Still no rain here... I wonder if it arrives tomorrow?
