So this morning around 3 am or so there was a HUGE clash of thunder. It woke me up from an awesome Dr. Who dream (David Tennant). Yeah. I think I've official became a Dr. Who fan girl. Dreaming about the man and all. Matt Smith is a good Dr. Who there's something about David Tennant that I like better. Okay so the thunder woke me up and then it started to pour rain. Like torrents of it. Bad enough that there was a flash flood warning. We then got woken up again around 7 am by another huge clash of thunder. At that point we decided to get up and take down his antenna. Although it was only 15 minutes earlier than our usual wake up time, I felt really tired and head achey. It hailed around 8:30 and I had to rush to get my strawberry plants out of the back patio.
Yesterday I went into one of my cleaning itches. I cleaned the kitchen and both the bathrooms. Loaded the dishwasher and cleaned the litter box. I figured that if I clean it when I get the itch to do it then I'll have less housework later during the week.Not that I have that much housework but it's nice to have less.
An update on my vintage sewing table. I did a lot of work on it last week. I think a bit much because I was hurting the day after. It was pretty easy to resurface the wood. Some areas were easier than other. Next I need to sand the legs. After that, I need to sand the wood using a finer grit to get rid of the sanding marks. Once that's done I'll have do decided is I want to stain it or paint it. I'm leaning towards staining it. I love the look of natural wood grain.
Last week I made a few things. I haven't gotten around to fixing the dress. I'm trying to figure it out. I really don't want to completely redo the dress. My mom bought me a pair of sunglasses when she was visiting. I really like the pair and wanted to make a case for them so they wouldn't get scratched.
I made the case out of some cotton and cotton batting. I quilted it too so that It would be more stable. I;m really proud of the wait it turned out. It's super cute and really easy to get in and out of it.
I'll leave you few pictures of new cigarette case/ wallet and Zippo lighter the hubs got me a few years ago. I randomly will smoke a clove cigarette when we're out gambling. That's it. I don't smoke in the house or anywhere else besides casinos. We do smoke the hooka every once in a while like four times a year. It's really fun but it takes way too long light.
Well I hope everyone is having a great day. Until next time, Ta!
Ooooo,your hair is looking SMASHING! Love it!
ReplyDeleteA blonde streak could be groovy, if your wondering just what sort of highlight to do!
Loving the little case you made for your sunnies! I need to make a couple,and I am inspired....will probably take me a while to get a round to it,though! So many projects,I get overwhelmed!!!
I used ot be right into Dr Who, but haven't really warmed to it as an adult.I did fancy Christopher Eccleston in the part,cos I love his big nose!!!XXXXXXXXXX
Thank you. I'm going to try a pink highlight through it. I've tries blonde before and my hairs turns really brassy.
DeleteI always have at least three projects in various stages. My hubby always asks me why and I told him that it gives me something different to when I get tired of one project.
I like Christopher Eccleston too. At first I thought he was very serious but once I watched the series he was really good. I think both Chris and David have a boyish charm to them that make girls go wild.
I adore your hair, it's absolutely gorgeous and suits you to a tee. I've never streaked my hair (highlights/lowlights on occasion, but not full on chunky streaks). I used to toy with the idea more than I do these days, but that probably has to do with the fact that my hair keeps thinning so badly that I don't want to lighten it at this point (because, I find, lighter colours tend to highlight how thin my hair is, especially in the front), so a streak would pretty much have to be black to stand out against my dark red locks (which could be cute for sure, but I don't feel the urge to go down that path right now).

Thank you. :) My mom has always done highlight and sometimes it looks good other times it doesn't. She also has very thin hair. She keeps it short to make it look like she has more hair.
DeleteLuckily I have lots of fine hair. Sometimes I wish I had more but I'm thankful for what I have.
i´ve already seen this beautiful picture of you on instagramm and i really love your hairdo darling;) and those sunglasses are fabulous! what an amazing case you made for them!
ReplyDeletekiss,mary
Thank you. I've had some nice glasses over the years and always ruin them because I just toss them in my purse. That and now that we're on our own I'm trying to take better care of my things so we don't spend more money.
DeleteYour pelo looks gorgeous amor!
ReplyDeletewhat fabulosa idea that sunglasses case.
love your cigarette cases, I collect loads.
