ANOTHER MONDAY ROLLS AROUND

 

There is a good chance I'm feeling just as jaded as Stew today.

We had such a busy weekend.  We hardly ever do back to back markets on a weekend.  I don't know how so many other stall holders do it!

I think it's the really early starts, and the set ups and pack downs that get to us.  Thankfully, we now have 3 weeks till our next market.

That will give me plenty of time to make a few more Kiwiana Runners, which are getting low in stock.

Particularly predominantly GREEN ones.  We have none left. We sold the last two of them yesterday.

I have decided not to go for a walk today as ...

1. I'm bloody tired, and ...

2. I will spend the morning getting some green runner fabrics cut out and ready to stitch up.

Craft Group is this afternoon, so I hope to have at least one or two lined up ready to stitch by then. 

So, there ya go, my day is planned out already.

Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

3.30 pm:

ABOVE: Before anything else this morning, even getting dressed, I put a Pea/Onion and Bacon Hock soup on in the crock pot.  That will be our dinner.  Yummmmm.

After ablutions etc, I went into Crabby Quarters and cut out fabric for today's sewing efforts.

Then down to Craft Group I went, at around 10 am.

I turned on the security cameras as I left.

And enjoyed watching Coco frolic around in the house, and hear her bark when she saw someone outside.  I also watched her sit like jacky jacky on my lounge chair, the cheeky tart.

I heard when someone knocked on my front door as well, and Coco's response to that as well.  She stood by the door and barked her head off!

ABOVE:  the camera view inside my lounge/dining room.... it clearly covers the front and dining room doors.  

When I arrived home, this happened:

ABOVE:  I had the app open on my phone, and as soon as I entered the lounge I got an alert on my phone!  Impressive.  I like it very much.  Good knowing it actually works.

It felt weird watching the camera pan around and follow me as I moved from one area in the lounge to another.  Freaky.

I got 1 and a half runners stitched up in craft group today. So not a bad effort.

I'm bloody tired now, it is exhausting listening to a bunch of ladies yak non stop!  I'm used to quietness.

    Can you have an online store or sell some of your products through a craft shop? to reduce the markets? Less stress for you? Peta

  2. That's exactly why I stopped doing markets. The people that do them all the time have vans, displays on wheels, and things that practically set themselves up. It was too hard to do them "occasionally". Although, I think you have been doing far more than I ever did. But still, the hours, the tents, the slow days.... Disheartening.

    Did the management look at their cameras to see if anyone was near you house the day someone peed in your toilet?

    1. No, as there are no cameras near my actual home. Plenty dotted around in more public places, main streets etc.
