Everybody relax….I've repainted my flamingo (otherwise known as things Tempest decides are 'urgent' in order to procrastinate)
I could see you were worried there for a second.
But have no fear, a previously sun-bleached flamingo is back to an offensive shade of pink:
You see I should be doing other stuff.
I've got my bookclub coming tomorrow, so I should be cleaning.
I should let you believe I actually get dressed up like this to clean shouldn't I? But the more observant of you will notice I have long hair still in that photo....I used to clean like that ;)
....And I'm possibly moving this blog elsewhere...bit fed-up with instability here and no confidence it will get better soon. I'll tell you more about that another day. Don't worry I'll keep you informed. I won't leave you.
And I've currently got 4 sewing projects on the go....
Plus various craftiness I've been procrastinating with as well....most of those sets of beads above for example, I'm on a 'Carmen-Miranda-is-my-spirit-muse' kick at the moment, and I couldn't find strings of beads long enough to quench my style-thirst, so I've been buying shorter sets of beads ffrom charity shops (translation for non-Brits: "thrift stores") and combining sets and restringing etc. Big fun :) Also, did I show you my finished blinged up shoes? All of this craftiness is fab to do in front of an episode of EastEnders or Game of Thrones (basically the same show, just one has more 'cuppa teas').
And the kids break-up from school next Thursday for summer hols (translation for non-Brits: "summer vacation").....and Melchett has big plans for replicating some of Phineas and Ferb's greatest adventures and then to blog them, so I should also be planning for these, stocking up the house and (long-overdue) building her website like I promised her last summer.
What I definitely don't have time for is prettifying flamingos...even if the poor thing's been looking the worse for wear for a few months now. The Arizona sun is harsh. And Mr. Cockerel's jaunts about 'Mingy's paleness even harsher:
(Don't tell Mr. Cockerel that despite his more colourful plummage at this point, he was even less visible all he'll be demanding a paint job next).
So it needed sorting...
(My 'painting things on a whim' box is getting a bit tatty now too).
There Mingy, you're repinkified....that's better now:
I might have to black Sharpie pen his eye back on a bit better...
Right.
I'd better get on cleaning this here house then.
No excuses now.
No procrastination.......
Hang on.....I think the front of my house needs some Memorial Day/4th July bunting making....
