Domesticity...Blogtoberfest Day 18

Today I laughed at the sight of a 20 yr old ironing sheets, pillowcases and doona cover! She's set her generation back a decade!
We went shopping for bedding for her new bed, starting out at the Sheridan factory where she found a doona cover and matching navy pillowcases.
The next stop was Spotlight and she found the exact shade of grey she wanted, as well as an extra cushion to sit on the bed. Into the wash they went, onto the line, then ironed...ironed I tell you...that child really has too much time on her hands!!

What I found was a 1000count cotton set of a fitted sheet and two pillowcases for our queen bed for only $50. I bought two sets. Somehow the fitted sheet is the one that gets always gets ripped, or the elastic perishes.
Now I have the right number of fitted and flat sheets...and did I mention the 1000 count thread? It is glorious, soft but nice and thick. I thought I was being a little bit fancy when I bought 300 count...oh the sheer luxury of 1000...an indulgence of grand proportions! (Don't tell anyone, but I actually ironed my new sheets too)!


More domesticity...Baking:
 These vegetarian sausage rolls were from a recipe that retromummy had on her blog.
Sesame and poppy seeds!
They are delicious, scrummy, tasty, amazing...my fussiest eater ate them...and ever so easy to make...

For less domestic and more interesting blogging,
head on over to the Blogtoberfest Blogroll...
which I reckon is one of the marvels of the modern world...
it updates as each Blogtoberfest blogger blogs (try saying that fast several times!)

Mending...Blogtoberfest Day 16

Trying to get another 9 weeks out of the last ever Primary School summer uniform.

Neckline stress...I don't know how many times I say 'undo the zipper first please'...
Best not to have the skirt come away from the bodice...

MPAY...Blogtoberfest Day 15

Yay to Vic for bringing back MPAY - My Place and Yours

Today's theme is ON YOUR SHELF
All my shelves are messy, this is the tidiest.
No lovely bric a brac or sweet china finds *sigh*...but some lovely bunting to straighten and some supplies desperately in need of sorting!

And another blogtober post done and dusted (thanks for the new meme Vic, you saved me running out of blog posts today!)

Link to MPAY at PunkysMama and

BLOGTOBER here and check out other bloggers on the Blogtober Roll.
