A DOZEN, PLUS FOUR

 

First up for today, I thought I'd show you the twelve new Scrappy Dolls I got done over the past few days:

ABOVE:  I am really happy with them, they will look so lovely on our stall.

Now, what are we up to today?  I will tidy up the sewing room, in readiness for my next session in there.

I like to clean up between 'jobs'... it's nice to start in a fresh, tidy room.

There's a bit of washing to be done, but that's about 'it' for housework.

Stew and I will go to the Base a bit later on to return the drink bottle I bought yesterday.  I hope they have the one I actually want.

And I think another visit to The Foundation is on the cards... I'm now craving the Seafood Chowder that Lacy had yesterday!  I had a little taste of hers, and it was so YUM!

DEE:  You asked in a comment last night if buying cheap pillows would be good for stuffing?  Simple answer, No.  I get 1 kg bags of Hobby Fill for $30, and that will stuff 8 Dolls.  That is dead cheap.  I only use the chopped up batting as well, as I have it, and it's not being used for anything else.  As I said before, "Waste not, want not".

ONWARD...

12.31 pm, and OMG, what a mish mash of a day weather wise! One minute sunshine, next minute  downpours and windy. Really not nice.

I spent the morning in the sewing room. Stew did the weekend shopping, then went to the gym.

Now we are out and about. Swapped the wrong bottle for the right one, and we are now awaiting lunch. We are both having Seafood Chowder. 

2 pm, and we are home again.  Lunch was just lovely.

A quick stop at Spotlight followed lunch, where I grabbed some machine needles and thread.

ABOVE:  My new drink bottle.  I could choose Black, Black or... BLACK.  And I don't mind it at all.  Stylish I reckon.

Gunna have a lie down now, my back and butt are killing me.  I'm not used to sewing for hours on end, it's been a while.

7.34 pm:  I have been sewing most of the afternoon, and have managed to finish two more runners for market on Monday.

I did NOT expect to get any runners done as BABY BROTHER would not do satin stitch last time I tried it.

BUT, as she did the Scrappy Dolls so well, I thought, meh, why not try it again?

And BOOM... she did it.  It was a mission, using a very tight zig zag instead of actual 'Satin Stitch', but it did the job.

I will show you what I got done today... tomorrow.

Cos, I need something for tomorrow's post right?  lol

Sewing all day has almost given me double vision, it really is a strain on ya eyes.  Probably not as bad as other people, sorry other people.

Catch ya tomorrow.
