Retail therapy

Yep that’s the one-go spend money to make yourself feel bettterah and I must say that this was the first time for me this year to purchase??????????????????????????? yep you guessed it fabric…
So I pressed the buttons and a shopping I went..my first stop was that place yes that one the book depository uk-oh dear me I was so controlled I only purchased one book-will show it when I get it…
Still feeling somewhat icky-undecided-confuzzled-and with the desire to spend I zipped of to Nancy’s Notions—oops spent up a bit there-but truly it will be used and some of it is for my March RAK…
Ok what has got me in this mood???????
Well my blasted foot has been playing up again to the point where walking with anything else but joggers/trainers on my feet is very painful..now in this climate that’s just not on..
Anyways’ I’m off to see the specialist tomorrow and see what he has to say-for those who have not been in here long-I had a Mortons Neuroma removed Oct ‘08-truly you have to of had one of these to understand the unbearable pain(truly I’d go thru childbirth again rather that this foot).
So we shall see what he says tomorrow..hmmmm probably send me off for an ultrasound $$$$ , truly $70 to go to Dr and get referral-$120 to see specialist tomorrow..$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ so spending some on me was my justification to make me feel better…

Oh Dear

What a wonderful end to the week to go to the PO box and find this pretty pretty prize awaiting me.

See them hearts they are so darn cute and the book is full of stickers lucky me won this in the January tea towel challenge from Jenny , have you joined her Feb challenge??? Thank you so much Jenny-have had a few ideas jump around for the hearts…

I had such craftiness planned for this weekend but alas none of it happened-due to some horrid bug that decided to latch on to me late friday night..felt like a Mack had slammed straight into my back and my vision was a tad screwiffy..

Not wanting to sleep the weekend away I decided to do some cooking.

Hmm yummy chicken and vegie soup cooked in the crockpot-I always remember nan saying chicken soup fixes all ails…

And one rather flat looking gluten free loaf of bread..but it still tasted yummo and went well with the soup.

then we had

Some berry slice with cream…hmm now i think this recipe came from Peg (cause she always makes  yummy things).

And do you know what this is?????????????

It’s Monday nights dinner, can’t wait to sink my teeth into it so tasty….

ECHO Echo hello

Never never never will I say yes I can make it if you would like…never ever ever,

the king blue has a batik like fabric for the backing..and gawd I washed it twice before using and still it is horrid and it does not move freely under the machine..and I am sooooooo over it…I will   state that the minutes of froggy stitch-backward stitch unpicking-time waster stitch has added to hours…so I spent a couple of hours here and there on ebay (truly time just zooms when on there) ended up getting and old singer machine yeah (have wanted one for  a long time)..shall post pics when It arrives…

Umm and nothing else to report but I truly wish I could fit the king blue into this bag..

I was at a op shoppe /thrift store today and the lady grabbed this bag to pop my goodies in –well I busted up laughing and she said “oh dear sorry I’ll get you another”..I said no no I love that bag it is so me…she then looked at me like I was a tad loopy-but that’s ok I don’t go there often,It is 100% cotton and I feel it will get used a fair bit-but unfortunately the king blue will not fit in it..aw well back to do some more of it tomorrow evening.
