FINALLY GETTING TO THAT LINEN CUPBOARD

 Today we are doing the job that's been put off for the past couple of days, tidying up the linen cupboard.

I'm really looking forward to sucking the air out of heaps of blankets etc, and making more space in there.  

Stew and I should get that job knocked out in a couple of hours.

But first, Stew is off to do the weekend shopping.  Can't have us running out of Diet Coke!

While he does that, I will get the other housework done, bed made, washing on etc.

With any luck, all that will be done by lunchtime, and I can get back to my sewing.  I would like to think I can get one runner totally finished, per day, for the next 10 days.

I don't normally sew when Stew is home, but he won't mind.  He'll be perfectly happy spending some time watching sport on the telly.

Here's what I bought yesterday in Taupo:

ABOVE:  This is my new wallet.  Isn't it so pretty?  I have had the same plain black wallet for a few years now, and I've had some cards fall out of it, as it's card slots are not 'enclosed' within the wallet as such.

This new wallet is fully zipped up, so no cards can fall out.  I am very happy to have found it.

AND it kinda matches the gorgeous jacket I was wearing yesterday.  FYI it is a 'SCRIBBLER' jacket, made here in New Zealand.  It can be purchased online.

ABOVE:  Stew spied a small group of four houses in a gift shop.  We hadn't seen this particular series before, and thought they were so lovely.  We could not resist one, of course.  I am rather proud of us, we didn't buy them all!

So there ya go, it was just a little 'shop' in Taupo. 

Now, hmmm... back to that housework I suppose.

ONWARD...
