morning ladies 
It's a tad overcast, perfect for planting the sunflowers I bought yesterday. They are going to be (I hope lol) a gorgeous deep burgundy/red, not the usual yellow. I will have to protect them from the rabbits for a while though.
Our crockery is a mix of Temuka pottery (a blast from the past) and white plates. BUT we have a bunch of lovely platters and serving bowls of all shapes and colours. I especially like the depression glassware I've been finding on TM and op shops.
While in town yesterday I was in the op shop and found two embroidery hoops for $2. A fair swap I thought for the goodies I had just donated. The woman in paying in front of me was quibbling over paying $5 for a big box of wine and ordinary glasses. Couldn't believe it.
My bestie and I ended up going out for lunch yesterday and it was so good to catch up with her. She paid this time, and I'll pay the next
It's what we do 
Today I'll finish planting the sunflowers and repot the freesias (early I know but I need the pot) and finish mowing the lawn. This afternoon I'll dig out some bias binding and wrap my new embroidery hoops to give the fabric more grip and keep it tighter. A little drop of glue at the beginning and end will keep it secure.
Happy crafting
