HOW DID HE DO?

 

Blondie asked me yesterday how Stew has coped, being back at work, and at the market yesterday?

He is tired.  His knee still pains him, and it's going to be a long while before he's 'semi back to normal'.

He managed quite well yesterday at market, bearing in mind we share the set up and pack up, and he gets to sit and relax 'mostly' during the market.

Today I think we will be having a very quiet day.

No going out and about, just lounging around.

Well, for him.

I plan on having a go at making a new Scrappy Doll 'FACE'.  Some people have commented that my Scrappy Dolls faces are scary.  So, I am going to try and make one with a less scary face.

So there ya go, my plans for the day.  Keep an eye out for the 'new' Scrappy Doll....

ONWARD...  

9.50 am. There were a couple of other questions overnight about yesterday's market.

1.  The cot quilts got a bit of attention, but no sales yet.

2.  I put out 6 bags, and two got sold.  So a good result.  All up I've made 23 bags so far, and 9 of them are now sold.

DOGSTARS:  Enjoy your time in Louisiana, and yaaa! Another film.

Stew has gone to do his weekend shop.  Then he's gunna watch a rugby game he taped.  After that he's going to potter around doing a few little odd jobs.  

Me... I'm now off to Crabby Quarters.

11.30.  And I was working away on a Scrappy Doll, and get a phone call from one of the ladies here in the Village.  I had forgotten I'd put my name down to go on a little trip to the Waikato Vintage Textile Fair with her and a few others.

So I rapidly grabbed me jacket and bag and raced out the door to meet them down at Reception.

ABOVE:  We all piled into the Village Van (11 seater), and off we went.  That was my first time in the Village Van.  It is a very swish vehicle.

ABOVE: We got there just as it opened, so not too many people there.  By the time we left it was quite crowded.

ABOVE:  This caught my eye.  NOT because I liked it, but because it was hideous. Who would 'wear' an entire animal around their neck?  Like WHO?  It really was ikkk.

ABOVE:  I found this lovely length of black, sparkly lace, which I will possibly put along the bottom of a black shift dress.  I will need to make said dress at some point.

Most of the stuff at the fair was not my cuppa tea.  Lots of vintage clothes/jewellery/fabrics, linen and so on. And the prices?  Outrageous on the most part.

So, I know not to go to another one.  😊 It was nice as an outing with other villagers though.

Stew has suggested we go out to lunch, so I suppose we shall.  But right now, I'm heading back into Crabby Quarters, until he's finished watching his rugby game.

ABOVE: And there is my First NEW Scrappy Doll Face.  Later on this afternoon I will do a second one.... DO YOU LIKE THIS ONE?

8.33 pm.  Well it's been a little while.  We had a lovely lunch out, then came home to do some more work.  Stew did some stuff outside, and I did some more sewing.

Dinner was nothing, as our lunch ended up being at 2 pm.

I'm now feeling a bit off, just tired I think.

I've taken some panadol, so hopefully I feel better once I go to bed.

Stew did well pottering around outside this afternoon, he put our pig weather vane back up, and the glass buoy.  He also did the edges of the lawns and a few other little jobs.

So, we both had a good, productive afternoon.

Now... just chilling out in front of the telly.

Catch ya tomorrow.
