How'd I do.....

I didn't get too much done on the weekend, I did get half of my tribe christmas gifts done, I will post the USA ones on Thursday (I have to wait until pay day), I did manage to get out and shop for an outfit for my DIL party, I did get a bit down with the whole thing, the shops seem to have all the same things which didn't suit my shape, I ended up at a shop which has some very nice classic style ladies wear, I have a couple of their outfits for good wear. I really like the dress, #1 son and DIL aren't too sure, but I told them I like it and feel comfortable in it. I then tried to get some shoes to go with the dress, I want some nice summer strappy shoes, well my fat little feet don't fit nice strappy shoes....BIG BUGGER. I do have some court shoes with a bit of a heel that will go with them, will look around here at lunchtime this week for shoes.

To top it off while in dress shop, I spotted some really nice 3/4 length denim shorts for $89, tried them on, well I am short remember, they were a perfect jeans length, so I didn't get them, then while walking up the street towards the local spotlight store, I came across the Red Cross Second Hand store, well they had a brand new pair of Katies brand denim 3/4 length denim shorts for $10, and in my size - bargain of the day mate.

I only got through the first colour of dad's blanket not a full repeat let along 4 repeats of the pattern (which consists of 2 colour bands as in other blankets), what else did I do, oh yeah, I did manage to clean the bathrooms, YUK!.

I did wash all of Ruby's blankets and packed some away now that the weather is warming, how hot is it going to get today - expecting 30 degrees, I hope it doesn't get that hot. #2 son bathed Ruby yesterday.

Our friends came over on Sunday we had a great afternoon, we ended up going down to the golfie for the meat raffle, we won another 1/2 ham, which we opened last night. Our friend won a turkey breast (already cooked), she also won $30 on a poker machine, put a couple of dollars in the machine next to win and got another $80, then moved to another won with a couple more dollars and won $50, she is so arsie, anyway she ended up shouting dinner, so we ended up there until nearly 10pm, we were the last lot in the club - and their photos of their wedding in Bali are absolutely gorgeous.

I received another ebay win on Friday, it is a book on spinning, weaving and dyeing, with another called Wool Gathering which is similar. I had a quick read, and can't wait until I learn to spin. Maybe in the holidays I will have a practice.

I even did six more rows on Jaywalker KAL.

I will post some pictures later of what I have been doing.
