Todays Good Things

Today I had a mini rebellion.... just about everything in the way of walls and furnishings in our house is either brown or blue...."himself" does not like bright colours...so for my new home when I find it I bought this darling colander...it is only 15cm across.  I spotted them last week in a lovely home decor gift shop and bought one for my son as a joke to go in with all the other stuff I had bought him.

Guess what the colander was the one he was the most excited about.....gee and it was only $6, I could have saved so much money had I known.

So decided to get one for myself....you know when you need to drain a small tin of something and the big colander is too big.

 

For some time now my cream waste basket under my desk has been gradually falling to pieces and have been promising a new one for ages.  So today on the way out tossed it in the bin, and bought a nice bright one...to go with the lime green and pink and orange folder covers I have been buying lately.  The mind boggles at the stitching colours I am going to come up with when iI finally get into my new colourful sewing room.

At present "my room" (computer come sewing) has a dull deep maroon/burgundy velvet type paint on 3 walls and brick on the other and I have always hated it...but it did not get painted when the house was repainted and all the colour taken out when we first moved in  with all the other walls painted cream.

Lavender,purple,magenta,white.

Was on my way to the loo in the shopping centre (I know where every loo is from Kingaroy to Kingscliffe) when I spotted a stall in the middle of the walkway, selling sheets sets and doona cover sets, one price...$20. So this is the doona cover set I bought to replace the brown one on my double feather doona.....now guests will sleep with colour.   He did not have one with flowers or I would have bought that...just to annoy because i am not allowed to have florals.  Also picked up a pair of egyptian cotton queen sized sheets for my bed for $20 as well  .....I asked the guy if they fell off the back of a truck and he said no they bought in bulk.....ha ha. Do I look old and stupid? 

But I don't mind they were in the original packing and the doona was marked $99 and the Sheets set  (green) $120.  I have opened them and they seem much better quality than what is in Big W....you know the ones that you can shoot peas through the openspaced threads.    Oops should I have put this out into cyber space?   Will I find somewhere to live a lot sooner? (a place with "striped" walls perhaps).....well the company could be interesting!

Now I will have to get back to painting new pictures to go on the walls to co-ordinate.
