It's a slow start to the day for me.
I'm in no hurry to get moving...
ABOVE: I have the next three Scrappy Dolls to finish, it's staring to feel like a production line.
There's four more ready to work on as well! So, once they are done, I can move on to the next project.
Not sure what that will be, I know I have plenty of EVERYTHING, so I might even just make a few coaster as 'giveaways'. It will help pare down some of the scraps if nothing else.
ABOVE: This one one of the jobs Stew attended to on the weekend. This MASSIVE succulent was starting to tip over, it is so heavy on one side.
Now it's safe from certain destruction. I love succulents, and this one must be many years old. It would have been a shame for it to topple over.
There is a Village Morning Tea on today, so I shall wander down there later. It will be a nice break from the sewing.
ONWARD...
ABOVE: It's 2 pm. I've been a busy beaver. I got the next three Scrappy Dolls finished. So now there's 7 differing faces.
Who knows how many more I shall come up with? Maybe a few, maybe no more?
I went down and had morning tea with a bunch of Villagers.
My plans after than was to catch a bus into town, and go to David's Emporium for more buttons for Scrappy Doll's eyes. They are way, way cheaper there than at Spotlight.
I mentioned at morning tea where I was going next, and one of the village residents offered to drop me off in town, as he was going in there as well.
So nice. And off we went. Once in town, I rang Stew and we had lunch together.
Then I walked to David's Emporium and got the buttons, and a few other bits 'n' bobs.
ABOVE: After shopping, I walked down to Anzac Parade and caught the Orbiter bus outside the Police Station. About 35 minutes later I was dropped off, and had a short walk home.
It is quite a cold day today, windy, cloudy, with odd spits of rain... I'm so glad I wore a decent jacket. My very colourful jacket in fact. Gosh I get a lot of comments about that jacket! Even in town, complete strangers comment on how lovely and colourful it is!
I am now really cold, so might just sit and warm up before doing much else.
5.10 pm and I just got two more Scrappy Dolls finished. I will show them to you tomorrow.
For now.. I'm done for the day.
Stew will be home within the hour, so I might just sort out some sort of light dinner for us.






I have an elephant bush succulent. it was just one single stick when we moved into our current home. It's now pretty big and full. But, when our gutters were blocked a few months ago, we had so much rain, and the pot just flooded. Before I ventured outside days later and found it, it was waterlogged. I moved the pot (with great difficulty!) but the damage was done. Now the beautiful big bush is slowly leaning over because it went soft in the trunk. Instead of standing tall it's leaning right over. Still a massive, green plant, just a very tired one leaning over! xx Colleen

DeletePerhaps you can ram a big stick/stake in the pot and secure the plant to it?
Enjoy your morning break

It is getting REALLY cold here, I too am sorting out my winter clothes.
DeleteI have a plant like that which did tip over. Fortunately it was in a big pot. Now I regularly cut it back. It grows like mad again. One plant I can't kill 😁
