Another weekend has come and gone.
Friday afternoon hubby, with the help of wonderson, pulled out all the summer crops
There is some weeding to do and I’ll add more compost and then I’ll plant out the winter
Crops.
This Hoya was given to me when it was a little plant. Five years later it’s gone ballistic.
Hubby has attached some twine to keep the pole straight. It was starting to fall due to the weight of the plant
Once it grows up to the top I’ll decide if I’ll let it continue or start chopping it back.
Spotlight was having a 50% off sale so how could I resist.
I was a good girl and only spent $130.00 but it got me quite a haul
This will replenish my stash and keep me going over the winter.
I have no idea what I’ll make. But im sure something will come to me
My cleaning lady has decided to wind up her business due to health. So im back to doing the heavy
Deep cleaning myself again
So I decided to start with the worst room first. The spare bedroom.
I’ve spent all morning cleaning, and throwing stuff out. Rearranging and packing away
The bedding is in the washing machine and once dry I’ll remake the bed.
I’ve vacuum and once the bed is made that room is done.
I’ve also stripped my bed, the sun is shining today so I might not get another chance to dry
The sheets for a while. Rain is predicted in the next few days
While cleaning I found a cardigan I had knitted years ago. And never wore as it was way too big.
So I’ve started to unwind it. It’s bendigo wool so good quality.
I think I’ll use the yarn to join the squares with crocheting.
The burgundy colour will look effective amongst the blues, greens,and beige. I hope.
So after a very busy morning. I’m sitting and unwinding and resting

Until it’s time to make the beds
Then I’ll only have to think about what to cook for dinner!
Yarns are pretty. Will you look to hire a new cleaner? Really sounds like you've had a good day and good new yarn to play with. Not too shabby. Cheers, lvy.
ReplyDeleteA great yarn haul! Now you're ready for a winter of crafting. I really like that burgundy colour. It will make anything look terrific. Keep unwinding, cardigan and body ☺️
ReplyDeleteI’m hoping it will make the squares pop
DeleteYou're rolling in yarn at the moment!
ReplyDeleteI have to keep the stash supplies up. You never know when inspiration will strike
DeleteThat was some yarn shopping! I think if my cleaners quit I'd have to find another. I don't think I can manage myself these days. I'm so used to them, fifteen years now!
ReplyDeleteI’ll see how I go. Yesterday was a big day and today I’m paying for it.
DeleteAmazing what you find when you venture into little used parts of the house! (Love he burgundy colour). As for the candle flower (hoya) there was an enormous one on the front of the church I used to go to with my neighbour in Greece. One of the church ladies told me she had planted it herself and it was only 5 years old. They must grow fast in the right places.
ReplyDeleteI had been looking for it. But couldn’t find it. I think it was put in that room when i and to store all the craft stuff when I had my craft room rebuilt. I knew I would stumble across it eventually
DeleteI love a good deal. Today were were at a craft store and I took a little look-see at the yarns. So many fun options.
ReplyDeleteThat’s how I keep the yarn stash supplied. I hate paying full price and only shop the sales. But you need to know the prices. So you know it’s a real sale and not a fake one
DeleteI agree with that. Back when I used yarn a lot, I knew the prices and sales. Then when I worked there, I got an extra percent off. was nice.
