BETTER LATE THAN NEVER RIGHT?

Sorry, I slept in... so we are running a bit late today...

NEW MONTH, NEW WEEK, NEW MACHINE.

I am super excited to be getting my new sewing  machine sometime this week.

In the meantime, I get to use BABY Brother.  Today is Craft Group, and I will be using the new trolley for the first time as well.  Can I be excited to do that too?  πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…πŸ˜‰

I think it's going to be a great week all round.

Sometime today the new lid for my old Hydro Flask is arriving... so I'll have a spare Hydro Flask.  Awesome.

Right I better go and start me day, do some washing, make the bed and all that jazz, just later than usual.  lol

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  I just spent a little while making a cover for the trolley, as it is drizzling out there, and I don't want anything to be getting wet.   It's not flash, but it doesn't have to be.
3.25 pm:   Jezz you buggers are quiet today!  I think the only people who missed me this morning were Stew and Lacy, who both messaged me, to remind me to blog today.  πŸ˜‚πŸ˜–πŸ˜•

ABOVE:  I went down to the craft room early today, as I just wanted to get on with my sewing.
I had the place to myself for quite a while.
Then several ladies arrived and did their thing... knitting, crochet, embroidery etc, and yakked.
Some nice conversations were had, even though, because I wasn't at the table, I couldn't join in that much.  It was still nice. 
I was VERY glad I'd taken the trouble to make a cover for the trolley, as it was raining during craft group, and while I was walking home again.

ABOVE:  I made good progress on this Braid Runner, and will continue working on it tomorrow.  I just love this combination of fabrics.  This is going to be an expensive runner, being a bit longer than my 'norm'.  And I'm going to keep it's pointy ends.  God help me when it comes to putting the binding on!  That will be a bit shitty, but so worth it.
I am now going to take a break, work on a jig saw and but blob out for the rest of the afternoon.
Sorry for bitching about ya not showing up on here today, and thank you to those who now have!  I love getting comments, it makes my day thinking ya care enough to leave me a little comment.
I am going to do bugger all now, as it's damn hot and sticky, super humid, probably not as humid as other people's places, sorry other people.
I defrosted half a Christmas Cake today, and ate some.  *burp*... not exactly healthy for brunch eh?  lol
But it had been calling me from the freezer... seriously, it really should have shut up!
I'm signing off for the day now, nothing else is gunna be happening around here.
Catch ya tomorrow.
