JOYday #2

Yesterday was JOYday #2 - and it was another success.  I finished the pink towelling teddy that I cut out last week - dress and all.  I also put the frames on the dragon appliques.  All in all, a very successful day!


Here's the teddy.....



And here's the dragon appliques....

Naughty Knitting - part 2

As promised, here are the pics for the bra and knickers I made the other week.  First the g-string.


Now the bra - adult content only.....


Joyday

Ok, so today was my first designated 'Joyday', and I think it was a success.  Even though I did think about study momentarily and calisthenics costumes for a bit whilst ironing, and I had do a basket of ironing for a client, I did manage to do other things purely for myself.

The first 'joyday' project was to complete a wall doll I have had in parts wanting to be a whole.  Now she is - all she needs is a book or a besom and my little lying/flying witch is complete.  This is her below.

You can find the pattern, as well as others, at http://www.lilliemaescraft.com/.  There are lots of free patterns here for all sorts of prim things.

The only comment I have about this doll, is that the pattern for the dress is about 3" too long, either that or her legs are too short....

I also cut out a pink towelling bear, ready for next week.  This bear is another of Lillie Mae's patterns...

Kitchen

Kitchen is now waiting to be painted and for the final door to arrive from the manufacturer, and for new blinds.  We had to send a few emails back and forth to the manufacturer as he sent 1 door not enough and tried to blame us.  It looks really good.  So far the dogs have not put any scratches in the door fronts.

husbands

found out yesterday that hubby has been talking to other women online....grrrr  sob sob
i sent him a text saying we need to talk, he never said anything about it when he got home from work.  so that night when we went to bed i asked him about it and he said he was going to ignore it.  when asked why, he replied that he has nothing to say.  i told him i think something is going on, so he told me to think what i want.
th other week when we bought a new mattress for the caravan, i jokingly told him to leave it in the car and tell the guys at work that i had chucked him out.  he said, in a serious tone, that they would believe it.  i got no response to my question of what has he been doing for me to chuck him out!

so, this is what i think (i think)..... he doesn't love or care about me anymore....

whether that is true or not, i have no idea as he won't talk to me about it.....
