OFF TO GET A NEW BOTTLE TODAY

 


When I'm sewing, I put my drink bottle and phone on my sewing desk, easy to reach right?

Last week I knocked my drink bottle, and it flew onto the concrete floor, but luckily no damage was done.

Yesterday afternoon I did it again, only this time the sippy bit on the top snapped off.  And there went a $100 bottle into the bloody bin!  I was really pissed off with myself for being so clumsy.

ABOVE: HYDRO FLASK,  best bottle ever.  Keeps your drink cold ALL DAY LONG!  And handles Diet Coke like a rock star.

Today I'm off to buy another one, as it is the BEST thermal, sipping bottle we have found.  Usually those sorts of bottles don't handle fizzy drinks, but these ones have been perfect.  No fizz spurting out the top EVER.

I'm expecting Lacy to join me this morning, so we will get me new bottle, then go to lunch somewhere.

Before going out, I shall continue working on the next 8 Scrappy Dolls.  

ONWARD...  

12.40 pm, and I'm just home after having had lunch out with Lacy.

I bought a new bottle, got home and realised I'd bought totally the wrong one!  I will be taking it back in the weekend.  I don't know how I made such a dumb mistake really.

ABOVE: For lunch (at The Foundation), I had the lamb sandwich again.  This time I wasn't that impressed.  Weird.  And I couldn't eat it all, and only had a couple of chips on the side.

STEW, we brought a rather full 'doggy bag' home for you.


ABOVE:  Lacy had the seafood chowder, and I've never seen anyone enjoy a meal more!  She absolutely LOVED it!  No prizes for guessing what she's having next time we are there.

I worked all morning on the dolls, so will get back to them soon.  Right now, I'm in a food coma... might take a nap.

  5.30 pm.   A nap? 😂😅😂  Yeah, nah.  Wasn't happening, so I got back in the sewing room and worked all afternoon.

ABOVE: The black sack full of off cuts of batting...


ABOVE: And what I did with some of it.  I then sprinkle it through the Hobby Fill, and use it for stuffing Scrappy Dolls and the like.

Talking of Scrappy Dolls, I now have 16 ready for market.  So the lady who wants to pick up two on Monday now has more to choose from.

I will show you a photo of all of them tomorrow.  For now I need to get off me bum and actually do some housework!

I'm a little ashamed to say last night's dinner dished are STILL on the bench!  I don't think I've ever left them this long before.  WHOOPS.

10.10 pm, and I've been utterly lazy this evening, just sitting watching TV and doing a jig saw.  I've even got a numb bum.  Probably not as numb as other people, sorry other people!

Stew ended up doing the dishes, double WHOOPS!

Off to bed shortly, tired but happy to have got that big job (the dolls), finished.

Catch ya tomorrow.

  1. You should be able to buy a replacement lid. Sio did the same with her Frank Green bottle and it was way cheaper than getting a replacement bottle

    I think I have seen bottle holders that attach to side of sewing tables.

    I agree, most water bottle/thermos companies have replacement lids and differently styled of lids available.
