morning ladies 
Bring on the rain!
ahhh the rough Cooks Strait ferry crossing lol. On a bad day it's bad! But on a good day, omg it's awesome.
Buggar, OHH, how disappointing for you to find the plants pulled out. And to leave the moth plant! Fingers crossed the new plants do well.
Yesterday was madness lol. My sister-in-law and her two big dogs arrived for lunch and bought a load of stuff from their other sister who has recently moved. Amongst all this stuff (sigh... more to the op shop) was my mother-in-law's embroidery threads and some of her patterns. There was also some half finished pieces. A whole shoe box full of threads! Mostly Anchor brand but my heart skipped several beats (probably the flutter lol) when I saw a bag of DMC coton-a-broderie. OMG, I couldn't believe it. And some gorgeous rayons from a brand I didn't recognise, a pile of random threads with no labels and perle threads of various colours in skeins and balls. It's going to take me days to sort out what is worth keeping (most of it) and what isn't. I'm in embroidery heaven lol. And it has all been stored in the dark so no perishing. For the first time since this heart stuff, I feel happy I have to rest lol as I can do the sorting then.
Then I came down to earth as I kicked my toe against the coffee table and my goodness it is sore. There were a few choice words as my toe turned black and swelled like a hot air balloon. It's still sore this morning so will have to wear shoes to protect it on a hot day.
Happy crafting
