Today I am determined we are NOT staying home all day.I'm sick of staying home.
So this morning we are going on a nice long walk, possibly around the Hamilton Gardens/along the river bank over that side of town.
Then lunch here at home, followed by a visit to Steve, Bex and the kids.
After that we will come home and I will do some more work on my apron.
I have been dreaming about it! Which means I'm excited to work on it. Probably why I've been dragging it out! I could have finished it in one day easily, but didn't want to.
Someone suggested I make them for markets.
THAT won't be happening, because there are two ladies who already make aprons and sell them at the same markets we attend.
I would never do that to them... just as I expect they would not suddenly start making runners!
It's an unwritten understanding that you don't do that to your fellow stall holders.
ONWARD...
Stew decided we should take a walk around the Hamilton Lake, which we hadn't done in a very long time.
So off we went.
Luckily it was overcast, otherwise it would have been too hot for me.
ABOVE: A few happy snaps of our walk. There were lots and lots of people doing the same as us, just enjoying the morning.Round the Bridges Run/Walk was on today, so getting over to the other side of town was a bit of a mission! Several bridges were closed to traffic, so we ended up having to take an alternative route, but we got there in the end.
Lunch... we ended up at a local Kebab shop, and I had 3/4's of mine, then Stew ate the rest for me.
It was rather nice I must say.
After that we came home and I worked a bit more on my apron...
ABOVE: I got all of the strips together for the 'skirt' part, then pinned on pockets.I will have to 'fine tune' that part tomorrow. I'm done for the day.
We visited the kids, and that was lovely as well. Lily is exhausting, just watching her on the move NON STOP!
4.52 pm, and it's time to just relax for the remainder of the day I think.
Time to sign off for the day, it's been a really lovely day all up. Onward to a new week.
I agree with whoever said yesterday it was the t-shirt that was not flattering. The t-shirt today is much better. Shorter, and shorter sleeves and a v neck all make you look smaller than the big t-shirt from yesterday
ReplyDeleteI notice that the T-shirt from yesterday, the shoulder seams are halfway down your arm.
ReplyDeleteThe much better white shirt from today, the shoulder seam is in a normal place on your shoulder.
My guess is you are wearing big old T-shirts on walks, but I think you should get rid of them since you hate them in photos.

You can see your weight loss missy around your face arms and neck too...and height lol I hadn't noticed how much taller Stew is to you. Take note I didn't say how short you are.
ReplyDeleteI wish all stall/market holders were same thought as you... my friend here in Ashburton has others coping her designs all the time every market she goes to at least one other stall holder has copied her skirts or jacket.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday...when is Lacy and Stew climbing in your ceiling for your Christmas decorations
Christmas decos come out on 1st of December.
DeleteI was going to suggest yesterday that you alter all of your large, baggy T shirts. You look way better in a fitted top :)
ReplyDeleteWow Chris! Your photos today really accentuate the amount of weight you have lost. I think the clothes you are wearing today really suit you. You're looking so fit and healthy 😀
