CRAFT DAY

 

Today is the start of a fairly wet week ... according to the weather forecast.

How wonderful.

I'm going to the Village Craft Group this afternoon, I might even go over early.

I'm taking Mc 2ie this time, as I am over using Baby Brother.  Baby Brother simply doesn't have the features I use all the time with Mc 2ie, and I miss them.

Mc 2ie will fit in me trolley, and I have a rain cover in case it rains.  So, I've got shit covered.

I will do the housework first thing this morning.  I've got a considerable pile of washing to fold and put away, and I need to water the plants, do the vacuuming etc.  So, I won't be idle.

I am going to work on a PHD in craft today, I have two cot quilts 'on the go', so will continue working on one of them. They have both been in the 'to do' box for a year, or 3-4.  WHOOPS.


ABOVE:  So those are the two cot panels that I started a few years ago.  I wonder which one I will work on today?

Worth noting, I have about TWENTY Cot Quilt panels tucked away, waiting to be made into cot quilts!  Yeah.  I'm never going to have nothing to do right?  😂😊😉

ONWARD...

Well, before embarking on the housework, I'm popping out to buy a home printer.  I had one a year ago, but threw it out when we moved.  It wasn't working anymore and they are a dime a dozen to buy.  I figured, why pay to fix it when I can just get a new one?  So yeah, getting one today.

Then I'll get into the housework, of which there is a bit more than I anticipated.  *sigh*

ABOVE:  After talking with our son Steve, I went and bought this printer.  It was a mid-range priced home and office printer.  It will do all I need it to I'm sure.



ABOVE: The next decision was where the hell to put it?  Space is LIMITED in this house.  I ended up putting it on top of my dresser.  There is a power point on the wall to the left, so a good place to put it.  Out of the way. 
Now I just have to hope Stew knows how to get it up and going.  If not, I'm sure Steve can.  😊😉

Right, back to that housework before heading off to craft group.

3.20 pm, and I'm home from craft group.  It was only a small gathering today, no idea where everyone was.  So, 5 of us sat and did our thing, and yakked.

I got the quilting done on the cot quilt I chose to work on (the Frogs), now I  have to add the backing and binding and it's done.

I had to dodge a few heavy showers getting to and from the community centre, luckily I had made that rain cover for my trolley.

8.20 pm.   Eeee gads, I've been freakin lazy this afternoon!  I literally sat down and did NOTHING.

Well... I lie.  I watched You Tube, did a jig saw and not much else.

I haven't even unloaded my craft trolley.  I will do it tomorrow.

For now, more TV, then bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.

    I agree with you, it would be fun to have a few in your booth. Bonus, reducing your stash.
