This morning I headed down to my mother’s. I took her to the cemetery and then home. I also delivered food that I had cooked and frozen for her
On the way home I decided to go into spotlight
I needed another bag of stuffing for the Izzy dolls
A couple of flat cotton bed sheets.
They were on offer at $13 each. A bargain
I use them for the backs of quilts. Much cheaper than buying from a quilt shop, and still 100% cotton
I also picked up a few more skeins of embroidery floss.
This isn’t what I bought today I had all this in my sewing boxes.
I bought containers and the little plastic things you wind the floss on
I’m just going to sit and watch call the midwife and slowly wind and store the floss.
I’ve got a couple more boxes and more plastic thingies in the craft room.
I’m exhausted from the busyness of today
I also shopped and had lunch with all the swim gang.
About 13 of us. There are more but they were busy
Once I bring in firewood before it rains, which I will do once I hit publish. I’ll not have anything requiring immediate attention
I’m definitely ready to just veg out and relax
Those embroidery silk storage things are brilliant aren't they? Someone donated boxes and boxes of thread done like that to our Afghan refugee sewing school- and it makes it so easy to see and sort the shades.
ReplyDeleteI like spotlight!! It is so much easier to buy fabric in NZ, not just in big shops and 100% cotton anything too.
ReplyDeleteSmart move with the flat sheets!
ReplyDeleteThose sheets were a great find. And lunch with friends sounds just what you needed.
ReplyDeleteTime to enjoy and relax. You've had a busy day
Sheets are a great go to for fabric for many uses. I've made a bathrobe, skirts, curtains. Sometimes even use them as sheets. What a good daughter you are, such care for your mom, even when you're tired.
ReplyDeleteLove Call The Midwife, been watching it for years........need newer series to come on Netflix or Britbox.
ReplyDeleteYou are very organised with your storage. I have heaps of threads which were my mothers so I will go to Spotlight and get some now that I know about them. You mentioned your Izzy dolls that you knit and I have recently got addicted to them so they are keeping me busy at night while watching TV.
