What Happened to Saturday?

Well this day flew by. Once again I am late at posting here. I don't know where this day went. I spent most of it on my arse here at the computer. Missed a nice day too. Okay I did shuffle some stuff around in Dolton also. And after a bbqued supper I walked over to the corner store to buy lottery tickets for tonight. I play daily but to no avail! Means I don't win! LOL I used to win all the time back in Mississauga. Oh not big amounts just enough to keep me in tickets and sometimes a little extra to buy a doll.
As I mentioned in my blog yesterday I don't have a digi camera anymore and have to use Jack's when I want to take a picture. It's a pain downloading it on his computer and then having him send it to me. I'm waiting for this blog pic to arrive as I type this now. I did win a camera on the Heart and Stroke lottery but to this date it has not arrived yet. I hope it comes soon because two stores in town have digital cameras on sale. We also won a toaster oven and a cordless kettle. The oven arrived 2 weeks ago but not the kettle (or the camera). So if nothing is here by Tuesday, I will have to make a phone call. I just hope the items haven't been stolen by (heaven forbid) the post office!

I've taken a break from crocheting granny squares today and made a couple of stools and a chair for my dolls to sit on. You can see the chair only has one arm. That is done on purpose as it will sit at the end of a row.
Jack has cut the rotted (by water/flood) two end pieces of the wall unit/book case that I took apart yesterday. I will have about 8 feet of shelving to put up on the wall over my Ikea shelves. Of course I will have to use a step stool to reach but I can't go anywhere but up now.
Ah the picture has arrived. I had an abundance of lid less cans (from cat food) which I make into stools. I really like the purple and green varigated chair colour scheme. It has my two most favourite colours in it in 2 shades of each colour. I'm making a 3rd stool now. So soon as we get those shelves put up my dollies will have more places to sit and not on boxes anymore. Then I can open the boxes! It's like xmas everytime I open a box. Some I already know what's in them as it's listed on the box. But sometimes I slip items in to fill the box or fit a spot and I don't remember what it is. So it's a nice surprise when I find something I forgot about. Even more so when it's something I have never opened. I have a lot of dolly furniture, dioramas and even a couple of doll houses that I never opened in Mississauga. Most of the stuff was bought for the future to play with. Well the future is here so time to play!
Have a great weekend everybody. It's Dolton time! Somebody turn up the music!!!!
