Energy? - aint got no energy!  Such good grammar LOL.

 

On Friday I went over to a town near work, there are a lot of Asian-run fabric shops there, they usually have a large amount of fabric and are usually pretty cheap too.  I needed to get 4 metres of denim, didn't want to pay more than $5 a metre.  I looked in 3 places they had it for $12 or $10, the next place had it for $5 - very cool!  I also ducked into work to pick up some thread and needles, found out they were robbed the day before.  It was a tagteam, one person distracted the staff while another broke into the register - they got $350 and were heading for another register but there were customers around which prevented that, they would have gotten over $2000.  I knew I had a bad feeling about working there - I am only down as an oncall casual, don't have regular hours. 

 

Soccer was called off on Friday night, it was raining, very much a Godsend.  I spent the evening cutting out the fabric for my Dad's quilt. 

 

Yesterday was spent in the city with 3 friends and my mother.  We caught a ferry across the harbour to Manly for a nice fish meal at the beach.  Got home to find boxes everywhere, they gt out the Christmas decorations while I was out.  We got the tree decorated and other things done. 

 

Last night I started sewing the quilt, worked until I was too tired to go on, went to bed at 2am.  Slept for about 20 minutes then was unable to get back to sleep.  Ended up getting up and did some more sewing.  About 6.30 I decided to take a bath and finally went to bed about 7.30.   Managed to get 3 hours sleep, plus an extra hour later. 

 

I finished the quilt today, just got it out of the dryer - it looks good even though the backing fabric shrunk more than the denim - gives it a puffy look. 

 

Tomorrow I will probably  head out for some gift shopping, hoping to get everything I need bought and being able to cross that off my list.
