ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM with Chooky, Make a Page Scrapbooking cyber weekend, lockdown, shopping and so much more

My Friday night wasn’t spent sewing with FNSI but I was thing of you all.

It was spent with my grandsons on MAKEaPAGE cyber scrap weekend. Their mum hadn’t been well with an attack of vertigo so I had them for the night to give her a break.  I worked with them making their own pages. I printed off some photos for them to use,  gave them a small album each for them to keep and brought out a heap of supplies. Our first challenge was ato make our interpretation of their page layout. The boys did good.

 Well, what a time we are once again having. A ZOOM day with Chooky and a bunch of wonderful ladies is always so cheerful, relaxing, supportive and productive (most of the time).

I started the morning, early for me, and joined in on Zoom. Yes, still in my pj’s too. I think I’m starting a trend. Just like on a real retreat. Hubby was still in bed and the grandsons were on their technology so I started off tying teabag strings. Sitting nice and quietly with a cup of coffee. The chatting always covers COVID talk. I was planning on a visit to the quilt shop and spotlight at some point in the day to buy a panel I required for a swap. The joke was I had better go when the shop opened as we never know what will happen with restrictions. So I took my time and about 10.30 showered and was ready to head off to shop.

 Then SNAP LOCKDOWN ANNOUNCED STARTING AT 1pm. Victoria is in lockdown again.  That was in 2 hours. 

Glad I was on my way to the shop. It took 15 minutes to get 3 kms. But I got there and to Spotlight too.  Bought a panel, which I cannot post here in case my swap partner is stalking and some other fabrics.  

Then off to the supermarket on the way home. Once again people thought that every shop would be closed so the queues, people, traffic and everything was a nightmare. I was in the supermarket queue for 20 minutes just to do my normal grocery shop. 

Home now, groceries un packed, lunch eaten and back to zoom.

I did something that I haven’t done on zoom time before. Hand stitched. I have had this pattern cut out for about 18 months. My friend has been working on hers and nearly finished so I thought I had better get mine done. This is a lovely little Xmas wall hanging designed by Sarah from https://alittlehappyplace.blogspot.com/2016/09/a-little-happy-sew-along-merry.html

Well, I finished the appliqué. 

I called it a day and went to cook dinner and relax. Here is our dinner. A lockdown treat.

I continued with my embroidery. Now they are done I only have to machine it all together.

Sunday I will be doing a repair job on one grandsons favourite toys. 

A head repair.

Then on to fix hubbies work jeans. He is a mechanic. I don’t want to throw them out and another pair damaged. There is still some life left in these.

Hopefully I might have some energy to get a scrap book page of my own done to join in with another challenge.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR A GREAT WEEKEND.

WOW. That was a catch-up of a post. Who would believe this is just one weekend. How could anyone think lockdown could be boring. 

I NEED MORE TIME..
