WHOOPS, I HAVE DOUBLE

 

I went through all the 'kiddy panels' I had squirreled away over the years yesterday.

I thought I had about 20.

Yeah, wrong.  I have at LEAST double that!

ABOVE:  I have chosen these six to work on over the next few weeks.  Most will become cot quilts.

ABOVE:  I started this one late yesterday... I have added borders to the actual panel, to make it cot sized.  It's going to be so lovely.  I can't wait to show you.

So, no guessing what I am doing today eh?

There's quite a few activities on in the Community Centre today, but NONE I want to join in.  I ain't into Tai Chi, Golf Croquet, Indoor Bowls or Singing, among other things.  I keep thinking I should try to join in on more things, but right now, I'm more interested in doing my sewing, and going to the odd morning tea.  And the Craft Group.

Maybe in a few more years I will be inclined to do more here.  Time will tell.

ONWARD...

11.30 am and I've not got much done so far today.

I went out and bought Coco a new winter coat, then adjusted it so it's a snugger fit.

I've had an early lunch.

And now I'm contemplating heading into Crabby Quarters to do some work.

We found out last night that our site at Tamahere is 'no more', as they have moved a footpath, and that means... we have to move.

That kept me awake half the night, worried about where we would end up.

I ended up sending an email to the organiser this morning, with a site map, highlighting ONE particular area I would NOT like to be in.

It is under very big trees, gets muddy in winter and it is just miserable being there, having been there a few years ago.

Hopefully she can find us a decent spot going forward.   Though, NOTHING is going to be as good as where we were.  I am really sad about that.

ABOVE:  1.40 pm, and I have just finished this gorgeous little girl cot quilt.

It could be a playmat as well of course, any cot quilt can become a playmat.

Now I'm taking a little break, before deciding which panel to do next.

It is a grey old day out there, one minute the sun is shining, and the next it's gone all dark, and is raining. Autumn eh?  There was a gust of wind while I was sewing, and a big swoop of dead leaves got blown into the garage through the dog door!  It was just a bit funny, Coco jumped out of her skin, as she was sitting down right beside me, near the door.

I completely wasted about two hours in Crabby Quarters this afternoon.

I started another cot quilt, but halfway through quilting it, I realised the fabric was utter shit, and it kept puckering something rotten.   No matter what I did, I was just not sewing up nicely.

So I threw it in the bin.  Such a waste, but there was no saving it.

I then started another one, and I'm hoping this one holds up better.

Some of those panels really are rubbish fabric, and such a waste of money.  😖😕

I made a really big batch of Spaghetti Bolognaise today, and put three containers of it in the freezer, and kept two out for our dinners.

So, something productive DID get done this afternoon.

It is now 8.15 pm, and we are chilling out in front of the telly, and will do that till bedtime no doubt.

Catch ya tomorrow.
