ABOVE: Then home to continue working on those 14 placemats. They will probably take me a few hours.
After I've finished them, I will start work on some more placemats, but using different fabrics, and not the WAVE pattern.
One of the ladies in Craft Group (on Monday) said I should make some that were more 'ordinary', to suit people who don't like bright/busy patterns. Whatever Lady, but OK.
Ordinary it is. Gawd how boring. 😖😕
Can you believe it is OCTOBER already?
We have three markets this month, so I want to have a good stash of placemats ready to go.
At some point I'll take time out, and go for a walk, starting with 'the hill'. Probably after lunch.
Catch ya later.
ONWARD...
I'm now back home and working on those placemats. The village Manager is calling in sometime today to suss out the window size/placement, then he will give me the 'official go ahead'. I will be asking for it in writing. I'm not silly, lesson learnt after the shed fiasco.
It's pub night/visit the kids night, so Stew will be home early today. I might just be a lazy tart until then. 😊
8.10 pm. Stew and I went for a walk that ended up at the pub. I spent about a hour with Stew and the group, then walked home. Jumped in the car and went around to the kids for a while, then back to the pub for another hour or so. It was a very enjoyable evening, I even had a glass of bubbly wine.
Now... sitting getting warm again, and waiting for Coronation Street.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Ordinary or tasteful? Your style is definitely not to a lot of people’s style but each to their own
ReplyDeleteYes each to their own, possibly why no sales though or not following trends? Depends on your crockery too, busy plates on busy placemats, no.
DeleteMy Wave Pattern runners sell VERY WELL. I've not had Wave pattern placemats before, so let's just wait and see how they go OK? Not everyone has 'busy' crockery.
DeleteMy crockery is plain white so your placemats would be ideal. Shows everyone is different
DeleteI've had people ask me for solid/plain fabric and I'm like ew why would I make that haha.
ReplyDeletePhotos show the losses.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the weight loss.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of the window is fabulous,
ReplyDeleteAmazing how sun and light brighten things up.
We did that as an extra window on wall facing the same way, in a bedroom, when we were living in The BOP, and figured between heat and light 3 months of heat, compared with 9 months of cooler weather ,it worked just fine.
Hope you’ve got the written approval sometime today,
Another box ticked ✅
Cheers 🥂
If people want boring placemats they can go to Briscoes. If they want something different and interesting then they get properly crafted handmade ones 😁.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteYou can definitely see a difference in those photos. You are inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteI personally think the waves are very cool and they're definitely not too "out there"
ReplyDeleteI too have white crockery mainly for everyday use as it fits in the drawers well...lol..I agree people can buy plain boring placements from a. shop.yours are clever and artistic and cheery....Peta
ReplyDeleteThe weightless is definitely showing a bidlg difference in your belly area. Go Chris.
ReplyDeleteBright busy placemats please! Anything plain shows up the slightest spill and the damn things always need washing. We've got mats with a load of bright colours. Wonderfully forgiving!!!
ReplyDeleteYour wave ones are simply gorgeous spit 3 times 😊😊
Your outfits emphasize your body imbalance
ReplyDeleteBlack tights are making you look larger on top.
The side by side photos show the progress you've made!
