MUCH BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT...

MUCH BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT...

ABOVE: this is the start of the first block in 'Noah's Ark' and I'm already thinking... it's going to be huge? And maybe I will make it a bit smaller? Not sure yet... it is a bit daunting seeing just how much I have to do... and will I be able to do it?

Today I HAVE TO go grocery shopping! Unless we are to starve... I think I must! *sigh*... and I hate.. hate... hate grocery shopping! Maybe if I do a bit of 'retail therapy' first I will feel better? LOL....

ONWARD... Where do I start? Hmmm... took my gorgeous Toyota Highlander into the Panel Beaters this morning, and they gave me this to use in the meantime:

It's a Nissan something or other... the only redeeming feature is that's it's BLUE... otherwise it's ummmm.... crappy. But, it will get me from 'A' to 'B' I suppose... just not very fast or comfortably!

I did the grocery shopping, Stew.. hold your breath, it was EXPENSIVE...!

When I got home... OOOOHHHH (CLAPPING MY HANDS) !!! Parcels from England AND America!!!!

ABOVE: this parcel came from 'C' in England.. lots of lovely wee gifts for the kids and me!!! AND the money owed... THANK YOU 'C'.

NEXT was two parcels containing the fabric I had ordered from the USA... talk about FAST DELIVERY!!!

ABOVE: the two shell fabrics.. I am positively DROOLING!!! And...

ABOVE: this fabric, which is going to be fantastic for my cards!!! (Froggy, I am thinking a card for your daughter with the VW van!)

Gawd, who needs to go shopping out in the mall when it can come to your door! I am so wrapt ! LOL... I know, I'm quite easy to please eh?

so... I unpack all the groceries... well all the frozen and fridge stuff anyway... and think... shit I'm hungry! And make myself a sandwich and sit down to enjoy it in front of the TV and I glance at the clock... bugger me! It's 10 to 3 and I have to go and pick up the kids as it's raining... NO WONDER I was hungry!

After 'lunch' I was hit with the "blah's" Just had no energy at all. Have not even thought about dinner for the family yet and it's 5.44pm! YIKES.... better pull finger and get on to it eh?

End of Day: almost forgot to do this last bit! Made 4 cards tonight with the new shell fabric... will show ya tomorrow. It's 11pm, time for this Tart to hit the sack. nite nite.
