GOT ME SEWING GROOVE BACK, AND NO MOSAICS TODAY

 

Yesterday finished on a bit of a high.  Stew's operation is on the agenda, and I got three runners done in two days.

ABOVE:  I am really happy with these three, all different sizes, should suit someone or other.

Today instead of going to mosaics, I am staying home.  Because our new fridge is getting delivered 'sometime' between 9 and 4 pm.  Shame they can't narrow the time frame down more, but it is what it is.

I'm just happy we are getting it so quickly... I can organise the food and drinks by the end of the day.  Yaaaa.

While I wait for that to arrive, I might just make another runner.  Might at well have a few up me sleeve... ha ha, like I don't already have enough?

I am also expecting a visit from two ladies here in the village, who want bowl cosy's for Christmas Presents.  My name is certainly getting around this village.  😊  Doing the little village market got my name and products talked about in a positive way.  That's nice.

ABOVE:  My job last night, pinning up all the strips I'm working with right now.  It makes it so much easier to see them, rather than fishing around in a box full.

12.25 pm, and I've had to stop making the 4th Wave Runner as I need to buy blue fabric for the sashing and bindings.  

And I can't go out until the fridge is delivered.  

I JUST got a phone call ... the fridge will be here in 15-20 minutes.  Yaaa.

ABOVE: Done and dusted.  Now I can pop out and get the blue fabric I need to finish off that runner.

My neighbours are all home, windows and doors wide open... cos it's another stinking hot day.  And virtually NO WIND... I'm not looking forward to walking down to me car in this heat.

3.09 pm and I'm home.

OMG it was so hot in my car when I got in it, I nearly expired on the spot!  The steering wheel was BOILING to the touch, I had to drive using a cloth under my hands until the aircon kicked in and cooled it down.

I'm happy to say I got just about everything on my substantial list, not just fabrics.  A sprinkler for the lawns (an me), more clips for market,  hand wash and power point thingees.

AND a reflector screen for my cars windscreen.

That should stop it being quite so hot?  I also parked my car in a different spot, so hoping it gets more shade, at least in the morning.

ABOVE: When I arrived home, there was a lady about to knock on my front door.  A Real Estate lady, handing out Christmas cheer and a little calendar.  She sells the majority of homes in our village.  The picture of her needs updating, cos that one has to be 20+ years old!  😂😉

She came inside and we had a lovely old chat, she's a sewer, so was very interested in my sewing room/fabrics/machine/what I make, bla bla bla.

Now she's left, and I've eaten two of her Tarts!  lol

Stew arrived home at 4.45 pm, and I shooed him off to the pub.  I'll walk up later and pick him and the car up.  No visit to the kids this evening, they have other plans.

So I'm home, just hanging out in front of me fan.  I have done the fridge shift around, all the drinks and excess cheeses, etc are now back in the garage in a fridge, and we have plenty of room in the kitchen fridge for day-to-day food again.

I'm happy about that.  I can now get stuff without having to worry I won't have fridge room for it.

8.04 pm, and we are just in from the pub.  It was a nice little walk for me to get up there, have a quick chat with the regulars, before bringing Stew home.

Now we get to relax till bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.
