HOW COOL IS THIS FABRIC THEN?

HOW COOL IS THIS FABRIC THEN?

ABOVE:  I started this bag late last night... I think it's going to look fabulous!   I also started an extra large version of the CUTE BAG.... in the white fabric with little jandals (thongs/flip flops) on it....I hope it stays open being so much larger?

 Will find out later on today no doubt, once it's finished eh?

This morning we are going over to Grey Lynn (part of Auckland) to a KraftBomb...  A Market where crafts are sold... with a view to me getting a stall there one month soon?  Maybe I will sell my bags and cards in markets around here... it's a thought anyway.

I can't keep making them with no purpose... I only have so many relatives and friends ... lol!

OH and I'm sick of Jelly beans... had a few too many now.  Stew bought $20 worth!!!  

ONWARD...

We went out to check out two craft markets this morning:

Kraftbomb:  no parking, very small hall... jam packed with vendors, no room to breath, not many customers.  Nope, ain't going to that one.

Pokeno Market:  Masses of parking, huge area, lots of room for individual vendor set up, food stalls, craft stalls, lots of customers.   Think I will be giving Pokeno Market a go in November.

After that we had lunch on the Bombay hills... then into Manukau for a few bits and bobs for the bag making.

Our current small vacum cleaner died yesterday ... we use it to reach places the central vac does not reach.....so I thought we would check out the local Vacum shop:

 ABOVE:  Godfrey's at Manukau Supa Centre.. OMG so many vacums!  How the hell do you decide?

 ABOVE:  I liked the idea of a vacum you pushed instead of pulled behind you, which drives me nuts!

 ABOVE:  Stew liked the idea of a small, cheap pull behind you vacum... yeah, like he does all the vacuming.... NOT!

ABOVE:  I WON.  Goes without saying really eh?  lol

I tried it out already, and it does an excellent job!  You should see the shit it has sucked out of our carpet already!   Central vac obviously is not that good!  Pfffffft.

Off now to do more vacuming while it's a novelty... then Stew can do it!

End of Day:  and I'm knackered.  Coco kept us awake last night on and off till about 4am!  She kept barking and growling at something... so tonight I am keeping the dogs inside.  Sleep or lack thereof can make for a super grumpy me.  nite nite.
