Still Sunday

What else have I done since WEdnesday. I have developed an interest in vintage dolls and while discussing the upcoming visit from Susie McMahon my friend Sandy told me about a yahoo group on making Vintage dolls so I joined that. Friday, finished remaking the ugly waistcoat and went to lunch with my friend Zoe and went to work.
Saturday I went to the Folk and Decorative Painters of SA committee Christmas lunch. I nearly didn't get there due to the head ache I had but took some pain killers and went back to bed for a bit and off to Adelaide for lunch and then home and off to Murray Bridge for work which means I clocked up about 200 km's in a day. I am a busy bee this week.

Sunday

I am not sure what happened to Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Thursday I must have done something other than go to work. I have finished the ugly waistcoat and renamed it the pretty great waistcoat. I have also nearly finished another waistcoat I started some years ago. It was the thing I made in a stenciling workshop. I just have to put on some buttons or ties and a tie for the back as I was about 12 kilos heavier when I made it and I am not taking it apart to remake. I had intended to spend today stuffing Moxie but I'll do that tomorrow. Must go to work I will take the knitting with me.

Wednesday

today I spent a lot of time on the ugly waistcoat. I also met a friend at Belair for lunch. then some shopping and home to do some more on the waistcoat. It is nearly done. then I can happily get too work on the new dolls I am doing. I don't have any new sites for you but if you look at Susie McMahon's site at the side of here you'll see the doll I am making with her next week.

Tuesday

I did one thing from the list today. I went too the gym. Greg suggested that we go and look at the Hans Heysen Exhibition at the SA Art Gallery. Then we went to Stirling and had lunch and did some shopping at the Organic Cafe. Then home and babysat the Gkids for a few hours always fun. Caitlin thinks that knitting needles are "very dangerous Nan". But she sat for ages stroking the wool "Cause it's like a purple sheep" she told me.
Then home to catch up on emails etc and a little note for you.
My favorite Hans Heysen painting at the Exhibition was The Saplings. Every exhibition we go to we pick an item we would like to take home if they suddenly offer to give us one. It hasn't happened so far but here's hoping.
I bought a book as I do. I love books like I love chocolate books do not increase my butt. I was looking at the Maggie Grey book Textile Transformations and there is a free online class to go with it. As I needed to order some wool and things for my fiber forum class I got the book too.
Which led me too Workshop on the Web which I am still investigating. also Issue 6 of Fibre and Stitch is out or in emailed to me anyway. but I haven't looked at it yet.

Monday

Well here it is Monday. I didn't go to work today it is a day off, my Saturday. I had good intentions of going to the gym. but I went out for lunch with my son Matt and went to Spotlight instead. Then I thought I would go to the gym this afternoon. but I sewed up Moxie with my friend Teena instead. Ah the gym I thought I'll go now after Teena went home. But Greg distracted me with talk of takeaway chicken, chips and gravy. So the gym can wait. I did sew up the pieces for Moxie. But my list has not progressed since then. I did find a patchwork vest I started years ago and along with a vest pattern I bought recently I decided to play with that instead. I also did another inch of my knitting. What possessed me to knit a jumper in 4 ply. I will show it too you when I am done. It is a knitted and crocheted mixture.

I have added a site to my blog list. Sharron B pointed it out to me on her Blog
the new one is Allie in Stitches
