It didn’t go to plan like I’d expected it to last night…….
Dinner I’d put in the slow cooker earlier on in the day was ruined by some dodgy wine I’d used, so by the time it got to the plate and began eating it……it went straight to the bin……it was DIS-GUST-ING!!! (I can’t even show you…..I’m embarrassed!!! ) I should follow Masterchef rules – although I did season, I didn’t taste! I must admit, that hasn’t happened in a long long time……so hubby had to order some take away steak and salads from the local tavern……dinner was at 8pm as opposed to 6pm …. and after one cider whilst I was waiting…..hmmmmm….FNSI was a bit of a flop for me!!! hee hee
I did a big catch up in the afternoon of sending out all my swap parcels……so FQ swap girls….and birthday club girls…….watch out for the parcels coming your way soon…..
I also got Cheryll’s Birthday-Love in the mail to her….I knew she’s been away…..long long away in some foreign country….lucky duck!!!!, so I didn’t want her parcel sitting there lonely, by itself, in her letterbox, for too long….so it’s on it’s way now too !!!! (the big white envelope above if you’re looking for it Cheryll! *wink*)
Then after the dinner debacle….. I did manage to compose myself enough to get my fabric ready for a fabric dyeing workshop using Procien Dyes I’m going to today……the fabric had been washed and flapping on the line (I’m using 100% cotton broadcloth so we’ll see how that goes)…….so it was pressed, and cut into FQs…..
and folded……
and put ready with an old towel and ice cream bucket ready and waiting to ‘chameleon-ise’ today!!!! I can’t wait!
Let’s hope I have more success today!
Hope your FNSI was more productive than mine!?!
sugary hugs xox :o)

All in all you did end up getting quite a bit done I hate day like that :-)))
Sounds like you had a pretty productive FNSI to me.. all thing considered. Personally... I'd kill for a steak and salad cooked by someone else oh... and the cider too.. hic! :o) Hope you have a great day experimenting with dyes... Hugs
Well done! I think you did achieve quite a lot. Thanks for having us at your place last night :-)
Sounds really productive to me. Can't wait to see what your dyed fabbie looks like. Lucky for me DD cooked dinner last night - so I got a bit done on my Lavender Fairy.
you got a lot done - sorry to hear about the disaster of tea ;(
LOL about your dinner, I planned a crock pot dinner last night too, and headed off to town in the morning, forgetting to even put in and turn it on!! Wasn't as organised as I thought I'd be! You still got plenty done, have fun with your dyeing today.
You win some and you lose some - but like everyone else, I think you accomplished a great deal. Cutting fabric takes a bit of time to do correctly. And you had a back up plan - at least hubby did :) Hope you had a good time playing with your dyes :)
You di get lots of 'other' bits done....sorry toe hear about your slow cooker...thanks for hosting Wendy...
Oh my goodness Wendy, we had take-away last night too but its a pity you didn't have success with your tea..... Thanks for hosting the night.
Helen

Lucky you do not live to far away from the shops Hey?
oh dear! just hate it when that happens .. esp when you have been looking forward to eating something that at least SMELLS good x never mind at least you got ahead with your sewing .. and posting x
Ooh how fun a dye workshop, reminds me I really should do something with the fur I dyed like @#$@ years ago.
Sorry about your dinner, but that preparation needed to be done so good on you for getting in there.
Thanks for hosting.
your workshop sounds like a lot of fun.... pity about the dinner... we have all done that at some time or another I think...
Hugz
oh well sounds like a good night apart from the the dodgy wine... hehe happy bday for the other day!..
The best laid plans sometimes have a habit of changing don't they. You got prepared for today so that was good. Hope you had a great day. Look forward to seeing the results. Hugs...

Darn about the dinner - we have takeaway on Fridays - a bad habit that I ma happy to keep on with!!! but I did have to shop on the way home..Oh well.
Looking forward to seeing the "dyeing" results.
Sounds memorable, and that's always good!
I wasn't much more productive than you!
I got all of 1 block completed, but I'm calling it a win. (See here) for details.
Oh, and I did watch 2 episodes of Broadchurch, so there's that.
Sounds like you got lots done despite the dinner disaster :0)
you did great in spite of it all lol! I 'm in the same boat, my FRSI turned into a early Sat. morning sew in lol!
Helen
Bet you don't forget that meal in a hurry eh?...puts a real damper on things when dinner taste icky (have used dodgy wine myself )...from the reading it seems you did not sew but got plenty other stuffs done..way to go,cheers Vickie
