Yaaa, no one is coming into my house today. I can do what I want, when I want.
The first thing on my list today is to finish off the Scrappy Dolls.
I got one finished last night:
After lunch I am visiting Bex and kids. I want to snaffle a bit of multi-coloured wool off her for Scrappy Doll hair.
After that I'm going to Mitre 10 and Bunnings to look at handles for... the kitchen. Also Plumbing World for the vanity handles. Surrey, a blog reader, suggested I try there, so there I shall go. 😂😊
First up, I got the Scrappy Dolls finished.
After finishing the dolls, I visited Bex, Lily and Archer. All good there. Didn't grab any wool after all... I found a ball of it in the sewing room.
I then went to Mitre 10 and found...
ABOVE: My next stop was Chartwell Square, where I found these lovely fish coasters, to match our fish placemats. TICK TICK.
YES, I know I could make some, but I didn't want to. I love the fish.
Then I took off to Spotlight.
ABOVE: At Spotlight I bought more Rick Rack for doll's hair, as I have run out of most colours.
Then I came home.
Cos I ran out of energy. Seriously, shopping is hard work.
What have YOU been up to today? Anything interesting, juicy, fun... well?
3.55 pm: Yaaa, the plumber just arrived to take away the old hot water cylinder and heater. I wasn't sure if he was coming back or not. Best go have a yak, cos that man likes a yak. lol
7.50 pm: we are just home from the pub. A nice evening, I visited the kids for a while (as per usual), then met Stew and the group for hot chips etc.
Time to blob out with me hot pod and blankie.
Catch ya tomorrow.
If you have no luck getting handles try kitchen manufacturers, as they have a big selection of them and could order some in for you. Margaret
ReplyDeleteYou need to go to Handlesplus in East Tamaki - look online at their webpage. They stock the long bathroom type handles you need. You can get them couriered or go pick up.
ReplyDeleteWhen we built, 23+ years ago, I had to order all the knobs and pulls. I ordered some pretty fun stuff.

❤️ ❤️ the doll. It's gorgeous! I'm going to send up wool and that fabric to Bex tomorrow. Kj
ReplyDeleteFind anything good on your outings?
ReplyDeleteI'm still out-ing... lol.
DeleteHad a call from a supplier rep friend who was in the area inviting me to lunch, so I went. Brought ice cream on the way home to drop off at my house (which was around the corner from the restaurant) before coming back to work. Bumped into the daughter who was at my house visiting her dad before she, too, goes to work. So busy couple of hours! xx Colleen.
ReplyDeleteNIce, I like the sound of ice cream!
DeleteMy scrappy doll OG is still the best one!
ReplyDeleteScore on the handles another few Jobs tick tick.
I slept in, I have been working really long hours recently and needed it. Also have a sore back so it was good to sleep with the painkillers the doctor gave me yesterday. Now I'm procrastinating getting stuck back into work!
ReplyDeleteI slept in today as well... woke up early as per usual, but actually fell asleep again for a while. It's nice eh? I hope your back feel better soon, that's not fun.
DeleteThanks Chris, glad you got a sleep in too x
DeleteWe are travelling around the East Coast again. Taking our time on this trip.
ReplyDeleteDolls look great. Have a good night. Kj
ReplyDeleteStarting packing up the truck. As soon I get clearance from the eye surgeon we plan to head off trekking for a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteLove your scrappy dolls
