A big Yaaaaa! I got one of the Scrappy Dolls finished last night, then ran out of hobby fill. Therefore, I will be off to Spotlight first thing this morning to get more, then I can finish the other three Dolls.
I'm thinking I might even start a few more, seeing as I can turn out 4 in just under 2 days. It won't hurt to have a few 'spare' up me sleeve.
I should be going to Mosaics in Cambridge this morning, but I think I'd rather stay home and get my Scrappy Doll numbers up.
I'm so happy that BABY Brother is doing fine with this basic work, just using straight and zig zag stitch.
At least I can sew something.
ONWARD...
1.15 pm, and I've stopped work for lunch.
I'm watching a live feed, news video on my laptop about a potentially tragic event that happened today in Mt Maunganui.
There's been so many landslips, road closures, homes flooded, people having to be rescued from rooftops etc in the past 24-48 hours due to the storm sweeping across the country.
I hope they find and rescue those who are unaccounted for. So very sad for so many affected and involved.
Back to my daily life...
Right, I'm about to make a chicken wrap for my lunch, then get back into the sewing room.
Oh I forgot to tell you about something I did this morning, that I've never done before. I was cutting up scraps of batting to use as stuffing in the dolls (waste not, want not), and I got a bit careless and cut the top of my finger with the rotary cutter! That thing is razor sharp as any sewer will tell you. So I just pushed the flap of skin down and put a plaster on it. I don't want to look at it again for a few days. NASTY. And serve me right for not being more careful.
I spent the afternoon working on the dolls, then I took Stew to the pub and visited the kids for an hour. After that, I spent an hour with Stew and our friends at the pub, it's always lovely to catch up with all the regulars there. We have made so many new friends there.
Now we are home, and I am absolutely knackered. I am totally looking forward to bed... probably not as much as other people, sorry other people.
I didn't really think I'd do the 'sorry other people' thing today, but it slipped in there somehow. 😂😖
Catch ya tomorrow.
The dolls rather cute 🥰
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day over there as we are here with cooler temps after the ☔️ yay
Catch up soon
Cheers 🥂
That's fantastic that you can at least do some sewing. I hope your other machine is fixable. I'm sure there's other stuff you can make on the smaller machine as well... bags etc?
ReplyDeleteLove those dolls. Glad Baby can do its bit.
ReplyDeleteHugs for those. That is a lot of rain in a short time.
ReplyDeleteLove those dolls 💕. Very sad what has happened at Mt Maunganui.
ReplyDeleteI have visited there 3 times - it’s a beautiful part of NZ. 🙏
Ouch for the finger! There was a terrible flash flood here on the Great Ocean Road recently, swept away caravans and tents. Fortunately there were no fatalities, but boy, how terrible for Mt Maunganui. xx Colleen
