I AM GOING TO BE A LAZY TART TODAY

 

As I mentioned late yesterday, I'm having a totally lazy day today.

There will be no housework.

No to'ing and fro'ing.

Nothing I don't feel like doing at all.

I'm happy to report I got EVERYTHING sorted out in Crabby Quarters by late yesterday.

All the bits 'n' bobs I had in various boxes have been gone through and either designated a project (like a cot quilt/Runner/Tote Bag etc), or put in a box for gifting.

ABOVE:  I've come to realise I am a bit of a  hoarder when it comes to left over bits of fabric and batting.

That pile is small pieces of batting that I can stitch together to use on bigger projects, or for bag straps.  I'm NOT throwing it out!

Any pieces too small to re-purpose will be chopped up into tiny pieces and used for Scrappy Doll stuffing.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT eh.

ABOVE: SEE THAT!!!   I only have 5 PHD's.  One is a Braid Runner 'on the go', and the other 4 are two cot quilts and two single bed quilts.   I am really happy I'm down to only 5.

I have a box of 'potential' Tote Bags as well, which WILL become Tote Bags over the next few months.

I feel fantastic knowing where everything is, what is needing doing or finishing off.  It's a bit like de-cluttering your house, it is good for the soul.

Yesterday I forgot that Mc Dreamy was supposed to arrive back in Hamilton.  As they didn't ring me about it, I wonder if he is back or not?

I will have to wait until 10 am to ring the shop to find out.  If he's back, I will be picking him up.  He is going to become my 'spare' basic sewing machine, as I know all the 'fancy stitches' don't work. The technician didn't know how to fix him.  He had from December the 18th till now to sort it out.

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  So my fanatical anti-bird tactics seems to have worked, and we have grass starting to grow!

ABOVE: See?  GRASS.  And no, it wasn't deprived of oxygen under the plastic bins/lids obviously.  Though just in case, I did lift the plastic up now and then.  I was determined to get that bloody grass to grow.  And thwart the birds.  WIN WIN.

In about an hour we are going out to drop off dry cleaning, and if my machine is back, pick it up.

Then we will come home and do bugger all... if that is possible.  Knowing me, I will end up in C.Qs doing something.  I can't help myself.

I simply don't like doing nothing for too long.

I am also eyeing up the interior doors.  I want to sand them, then paint them white.  I don't like the colour they are right now... it's just a wood coloured laminate.  Massive ikkk.  At some point I will take one door down and give it a go, see how much work is involved, and if they sand up easily or not.
