GORGEOUS LONG WEEKEND OVER

That had to be the nicest (weather wise) Labour Weekend I can  EVER remember!   Three days of sunshine.... what more could you ask for?

Kids back to school today .. yaaaaa... and me ... off to Patchwork class...not that I go to learn much right now!  I am going for the company really.   I shall continue working on the CUTE bags for now... seriously considering going to a market or two soon ... IF I can build up some stock!   Thinking of selling my cards too if I do go ahead with it.

What else?  Ehhhhh, not much!  Stew did a shitload of the housework for me yesterday while I was out with Kate!  What a man!  Seriously, all I need to do today is wash the floors!   Whoooop dee doooooo.


ABOVE: oooo and before I forget!   Jackie, one of Stew's work colleagues popped in yesterday and gave me this very cute glass and ribbon necklace... it has a really lovely reddish glow in the sun.  It was for me birthday.... THANKS Jackie!  XOXOXO

ONWARD...
What a looooong morning I've had!  Patchwork was LOVELY... got started on two more CUTE bags... then I went and got some more batting at Spotlight (I really should just take my bed down there!)... I'm there so often.
Home now, it's almost 1.30 pm and I really need my lunch!  (well.. it's my breakfast too)...

ABOVE:  look what I 'scored' at the fabric shop this morning!!!   A 'pre-loved' lightbox for only $40... I am chuffed to bits. 

I had thought I would be doing the floors this afternoon... but truth be told I'm knackered for some reason?  Going to just sit we me feet up for a while I think.

Got some bloke coming around soon to suss out the colour for the new garage door too.... oooo a bloke!  lol


LYNDA:  lol... a lightbox is used for tracing patterns onto fabric.... I have wanted one for ages.  You use them a lot for applique work... like the animal blocks I was doing a while ago... and STILL haven't finished...oooops!

End of Day:  and I'm going to bed sooo crabby!  I have been making a bag of course, but tonight for some reason I have been making mistake after mistake... and having to 'reverse sew' quite a few times.... and I pricked me fingers a dozen times too!!!  Grrrr.  I am going to call it a night now and attack it again tomorrow afternoon... hopefully it behaves then (or my brain does).  nite nite.
