While I Was Waiting....

Hello Ladies,

Friday night was a bit of a sleepless night as I was waiting on my baby is here phone call.

I did try to go to bed but sleep was not happening, so up I got and came down stairs to keep myself occupied.

Now my girls call me the Queen of Flip-Flops, I have loads. I have flip-flops for indoors, flip flops for gardening, flip flops for dog walking, flip flops for shopping, flip flops for going out for the evening and flip flops for almost every occasion. And they all get a outing through the summer at some point. So when Jess pointed out that she was surprised I hadn't bought any this year, Friday night I decided to browse to see what was out there.

My two favourite makes of flip flops are Havaianas and Ipanemas , the reason being they are like walking on air. They are very soft, very cushiony and so, so comfortable. 
Now it's coming to the end of summer, so did I really need flip flops ? 
Yessssss, of course I do, we're thinking of going to Mexico in November, so I'll need some for then.
And this is what came yesterday

And this is what came today.

They look even better out the boxes, they will be well worn on my holiday.

But I didn't just browse the Internet for shopping, I did some constructive work too.

I made a mini runner for the hatchway between our lounge a kitchen. 

This I started early hours Friday morning and finished it yesterday. I got the hexagon idea from Sue at Sweetpea family, she made a beautiful hexagon blanket, so I thought I would use her idea and make mini hexagons and put them together like patchwork, paper piecing. They turned out better than I expected. I was very happy with the outcome.

And just before I go, I would like to share with you a photo of some very tired boys.

Take care everyone, speak soon.
