Happy new years everyone.. Made me think last night about all that Fuss over Y2K a QUARTER of a Century ago .. and we are still here.
OMG Hunni Id have gone stark raving Bonkers with 21 days without the net. But Welcome back..
We haven't had all the rain they said we would.. Hard to think we are a 3rd of the way through summer.
Yesterday I decamped Christmas, apart from the cards. Im loving my Retro Tupperware display on the white bookshelf. Almost looks like it was made for it. That would tick MrP off lol.
I have the meerkats I did like from his collection out. and the Kingfisher and Fantail. But it still looks bare on the hall stand. Ill figure something out tho. And the coffee table is naked as well. And the little shelf I put opposite the front door has all the things my Taranaki Sister friend has given me over the years on it.
At the home on Monday they were having a clear out in the Activities store cupboard. I came home with a pack of 10 pieces of Satin. 29 cms wide and 240 cms long (Did I mention this already?) Thinking of laying one over the coffee table, will have to be double tho. It says they are satin Sashes, I wonder what they were originally for and what the home was going to do with them, but didn't.
Im undecided about going up to the home today. Dianne I assume wont be there, Hubby wants to go out fishing. I think its more to prove He WILL use the boat they got. Dianne would rather not go so was hoping for wind or rain. I might text her soon ad see if she is going to the home.
I also would like to meet Davids Mum so arghhhhh Ill decide in a bit lol.
Have also decided I need to have a further cull in the craft room... But even better I added two things to the glory box yesterday and it feels good. Why have a large "Posh" cutlery set and never use it now. So it will be used when I move. 'I used to use it for our "Formal Dinners" a group of us used to have. Moving house each weekend and generally having fun. No snobbyness, no competition.
Have a wonderful day everyone

I think we have an awesome group of regular posters, and I suspect there are quite a few who lurk. So, to the lurkers, come and join us. We chat about everyday things, have a giggle or even a big old belly laugh.
Happy New Year KM and all of you crafters. I occasionally lurk, but don't contribute much because I'm not much of a crafter. I am a gardener however, and have been spending the last several mornings battling the oxalis which is erupting in my rose bed along with infant convolvulus plants which I guess have been spread by birds from the masses of it that infest our hydrangeas and camellia hedges from the untended paddock next door..
I will try to be more chatty this year.
Welcome Olive. We talk about anything and everything in here.
They told me I couldn't, so I did.!!
