MID WINTER GROOM

 

On a roll ... having got four runner tops finished yesterday, my aim for today is another four.

I know it can be done.

I have put off getting Coco groomed for 3 weeks longer than the 'usual' time frame, being it's bloody cold.  But today she is getting groomed again.  I feel a bit sorry for her, but it really does need doing.  She smells.  Even when we bath her, she starts to smell in just a day or two.  I think it's an age thing with her, because she never used to get smelly so quick.

I will endeavour to get the 'before' and 'after' photos, as I usually do.  

The washing didn't get done on the weekend, so that's top of my 'to do' list once I'm out of bed.  Which will be around 7.30 - 8 o'clock.  No rush.

ONWARD...

And yeah, I was late putting today's post up.  Sorry about that.

And here we are, and my plans have changed slightly.  I decided to have a go at taking some of the sofa bed apart, just the fabric, to see if it could be disassembled to get it out of the house?

I got about 2 dozen staples out, then ...

ABOVE:  I called Lacy.  She came straight away and carried on the good work.  It may not work, but it's worth a try right?  Steve can look at the internal build and will know if he can take it apart to get it out.

While Lacy does that, I can get on with my sewing.

ABOVE:  It's now 1.45 pm, and I've managed to make three more small braid runner tops.

So I've got a few lined up to quilt and bind now.

I am going to make a few more though.  Cos I want to build up my stock of this size runner.

ABOVE: Between us, Lacy and I managed to expose one end of the sofa bed, so now Steve can see if he can sort it out.  And not just chop it up with a saw!

ABOVE: Our dinner is smelling delicious.  Beef roll ups and veges.  I am not very good at cooking beef, so I hope it comes out OK.

That dinner was really lovely, I did cauliflower cheese to go with it.  Super yummy.

Coco's groom took two hours!  The groomer is training up her teenage daughter, hence it taking so long.  I don't mind at all, and I always pay the daughter a tenner on top of the groom price, cos she deserves it.

It's quite a technical, hard job to do I'm sure.

I just finished sewing for the day, I am totally knackered.  I got FIVE runner tops done today!  I think that's a record.

Tomorrow I am going to make 2-3 more, then stop to quilt them all.

For now though, It's nearly 7 pm and it's time to sign off for the day.   Catch ya tomorrow.
