YOU JUST NEVER KNOW

 

At markets, we often get someone who will say "Oh I love that, but can't get it today.  I'll take one of your cards and contact you later".  Or something similar.

9 times out of 10 you never see or hear from them again.  It is what it is.

Well anyway, at our last market, a young lady did just that, said she wanted a Scrappy Doll but didn't have any cash on her. She took a card.

Yesterday afternoon she contacted me, and is going to come to our market on Monday (Auckland Anniversary Day), to buy not one, but two scrappy dolls.  She had even taken a photo of the dolls, and showed me which two she wanted.  Serious buyer then.

That means we will only have two dolls left! Eeeek.  I am going to try today to make a few more, using BABY machine.  I think I can do it.  I hope I can do it.

Wish me luck.

I'm outta here, got work to do!

But just before that, this is why I blog, why I get so much enjoyment out of it:

Hi Chris, I'm 82 as of a week ago and sadly one of "the other people" 🤣 But I'm happy for you and your progress! Every day I read your blog and just LOL every time you say "probably not as bad as the other people">>>LOL!! You have such a great way of seeing/living life! Just want to say "your garden looks so beautiful"!!💖
So happy for you and Stew enjoying your new home and making new friends!! I just love reading your blog everyday...LOL abounds always just with you! Take care! Love life!

That comment was left on Monday's blog post.  Isn't she just lovely!  Thank You for such a lovely comment Lynney.

ONWARD...

Well... obviously I've been a bit busy today.

First up, I did a grocery shop.

Then I came home and started working on Scrappy Dolls.

Putting fabrics together for the bodies, then putting aprons on... eyes, mouths etc.

ABOVE: It is now 2.15 pm, and I have got 4 dolls 'fronts' done.  After a break, I will get the arms, legs, hair etc done.  Then I will stitch the backs and fronts together, and stuff them.

That might not get finished today, it depends on how my back holds up... it's really hurting right now... probably not as bad as other people, sorry other people.

I need lunch, so am stopping for that, I'm going to have a chicken wrap.  I bought more wraps, chicken mince etc this morning for them.  Our WW leader did a cooking demo last night and made chicken wraps, hence me doing it today.

ABOVE: That's Andrea, our WW Coach. She's just lovely.  I like the little portable cooker she uses, might even get one.

ABOVE: That's the wrap recipe Andrea used, you can tweak it to suit yourself.  I made a small, long sausage instead of three meatballs.  And I used hummus and basil pesto under my salad and chicken.  

10.46 pm, and it's time for bed.  I had a quiet evening with Stew, we both had a chicken wrap for our dinner.  Coronation Street has just finished, so I'm off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
