Aging .... sigh

Have you noticed how they never write in large letters on the Shampoo and Conditioner bottles??? 

In the shower I can't see what I am using

this is one place I don't ever wear my glasses.....

Aaaagh..... 

.... then I have to rinse out the wrong one and try again.....

what a waste... maybe that's why they keep the writing small.... for us aging population to waste our money on....

Well, yesterday I fixed it.....

LARGE bottles with press nozzles.... and then nail varnish decorating!

Here's to stress-free showering

Any shampoo makers out there - you'd make a lot of money providing big writing shampoo

.... and I want royalties!

Surplus to Requirements

I noticed on a blog I read a celebratory note of reaching 100 posts

~ well ~

being a bit gaumless I hadn't noticed - you see I forget to look

~ I also got there ~

~ a few posts ago ~

~ so it says when I go into posts ~

~ the bottom of the blog page tells me different ~

~ if I haven't passed 100 I am about to reach it ~

~ so if you have managed to read through all this jumble ~

(and no, I haven't started my first glass today!)

I have a few things seeking new homes....

My subscription to Australian Homespun included a free diary

Its really lovely

But I KNOW I won't use it

maybe one of you will

I loved Robyn's Hootie the Owl softie

so when I won the pattern I couldn't just make one

but I don't really NEED two

I love to try new techniques and usually try and make a small item

~ just to make sure I like doing it before I tackle something else ~

~ fancied the Japanese style stitching of Sashiko ~

~ and made a bag ~

~ it's not me ~

(I'm more of a wine tippling, hippy cougar type)

 very simple bag.... small pockets on the outside

did you know I was going to get rich selling little useful goodies at the market?

~ well it didn't happen ~

~ If you are going travelling these luggage tags work really well ~

~ I have sent some as gifts and have had great feedback ~

~ nice and soft so they don't damage your luggage ~

~ easy to find on the carousel ~

  there's some really bright ones

 some fun ones - would be great for younger travellers

 Ausi print ones for downundertravellers

 japanese print ones for the exotics

 and autumny ones for the seasoned traveller

so if you can provide a good home for one of these let me know

and tell me which of them will suit your surrounds best

no need to blog, tweet, status, belch,.... 

these gifts are for those of you who regularly put up with me

just let me know

(and make sure I can email you back)

On Monday (to allow time for the weekend readers)

I will list all who wants what

and try out Mr Random

or that tall, handsome, sortof round cougar toy will help
