Nuts!

 

 

hi!

 

i got up early this morning...around five.

after washing up

i decided to reorganise my linen drawer.

it is deep and wide.

in fact,

whole universes have probably dwelt there under the layers of tablecloths and doilies!

 

 

realistically,

it was a huge mess.

there were not only tablecloths and assorted linens

but out of date bags of spices..coriander seeds anyone?

 

 

 

then right down the bottom

there was a big bag of macadamia nuts

&

another bag of walnuts..in their shells.

i think they may have been from christmas 2011!

 

 

so i've tweaked my cabinet vignette from yesterday

&

displayed the walnuts in a beautiful handmade wooden bowl

which mr w made himself

&

then decided to put mr owl on a pedestal of books...

all owls read books at night,

it makes them wise..hehe!

 

 

i've washed all of the linen today...just to freshen it up...

polished the coffee table

&

cleaned the louvre windows in the kitchen.

 

all in all a satisfying day of progress.

 

how are you doing today...

lazing on holidays or planning your new year?

both are good!

p.s...blogger won't let me upload pics from my computer at the moment...so these are ones i was fiddling with for doing up my header that mr w. complained was too big for his laptop..so i altered it...just in case you were wondering!

 



Ruffled Again...

when miss b spied that owley fat quarter

she said 'make something for me'.

i had noticed that the mustard colour in it

matched the mustard of the 'anthology' fabric.

miss b has a quirky sense of style and humour.

{like the time she was working in a construction company,

with all but her being men.

she told them all that it was

'secretary appreciation day'

and they all turned up with gifts and flowers!

- she did tell them the truth,

they laughed.

or

the times when they all had pink payslips

and other kinds of pink paper paraphenalia...

or

the time they had pink sparkley xmas decorations

and only pink...

they lived with that too!}

so

i think those cute little owls will suit her perfectly,

just peeking through...

the yoke lining was attached next...

... my little label was finished and sewn on.

miss chair did a better job at modelling
than mr table...

mr w and the boys,
the genius cook - mr t,
the smooth operator - mr m
and the paint expert - mr p
have all gone fishing...

so
sharrie and me
will have a peaceful tuesday morning,
doing exactly as we please....

have a pleasant tuesday too...
