In the shower, shampoo a-bubbling nicely, then the lights, electric shower and everything else went OFF!
So a lot of shouting to the kids finally produced a plastic jug from the kitchen, to finish the rinsing and then I had the delight of the school run with very cold wet bad hair and the realisation that it wasn't a full-on power cut (outage), just us.
All credit due, the Electricity guy was here within an hour, just when I had resigned/consoled myself to a morning off work and some owl action; and he had it all fixed in about 15 minutes. I was in work an hour late but all was illuminated and switched on in the FB homestead again, phew.
So I only have these Christmas pressies that are destined for my sister to show you today...
A laminated/PVC zippy pouch, made from an A4 sample and Kona Aloe...

| Check out those zipper ends! |
And a muted heart brooch, which I promise to put in the post and not keep!
Tonight I am planning to go bigger than owls, for my Dad's birthday, so hopefully I will have something fun to show you tomorrow.
BIG YAAAAA! To the electric man xx
ReplyDeleteLovely brooch and get you with the super neat pouch ends. Glad the electrician got you sorted! Not the time of year to be without power!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've soooo been there, had to take myself out to the garage and hit the fuse box! Then went back to a nice warm shower! Even worse when the hairdryer refuses to work! Luuuurrrrrvley Heart :)
ReplyDeleteOooooooh my , they are fab! Love your zip ends, they look absolutely perfect. Monday did not start well here either twinnie x Hopefully it will end as nicely as yours has.
ReplyDeleteAwful start to the day but the zip bag (great zip ends!) and the brooch are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat is a SUCKY start to the day. I sure hope it improved as the day kept going!
ReplyDeletethose zipper ends are PERFECT! sorry about the electricity fiasco! glad the electric man fixed you up quick!
ReplyDeletezipper ends to die for! Everyone is jealous Hadley, we all want zipper ends like this!
ReplyDeleteLook at that zipper pouch!!! Professional, I say!!! Your Monday sounded a bit like my Sunday! Glad you were able to salvage it!
ReplyDeleteYou only have a power outage like that when it is the most inconvenient time. Never when you are having a lie in, tea already made and iPad fully charged. Glad they fixed it quickly and nice pouch! You are a zipper supremo now!
ReplyDeletegreat image you have conjured up there!! Love your zipper, especially those ends
ReplyDeleteNot a good start to a Monday! Zip Queen.
ReplyDeleteSod's law dictates that disasters like that power cut are reserved for the most inconvenient moments - shampoo on head, spreadsheet you've been working on (unsaved) all afternoon... Glad the power man came out and fired you up again quickly though!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip on those samples, thank you, and love your wee pencil case and heart :o)
How the hell do you get your zipper ends like that?! I'm following the same tutes and mine are pants.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had such a crappy start to the day though, glad the man wot can fixed it :-)
think john lewis will be having a run on samples :)) thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteglad your electric was sorted and sooooo quick .
The water always goes off when your hair is full of shampoo, I am certain it must be some kind of universal law. I hope you day has improved, mine started at the dentist with my older boy, it turned out it was not the expensive filling, it was a more expensive option. Sign, maybe Mondays should be banned.
ReplyDeleteMust be something in the air - our water went off last night! Your zip ends ROCK and I adore that wee brooch.
ReplyDeleteFAB brooch, sweet zippy pouch with enviable ends and poo to your horrible Monday start. And, I hear it's snowing all over England, too!!! Yippee!
ReplyDeleteBigger than owls?? Back away from the ostriches, Hadley! And an electric shower? Never heard of such. Sorry you had such a crap morning, but your pouch should make up for it!
ReplyDeleteGlad it got fixed! Sorry about the wet hair, yuck, I'm shivering just thinking about it. It's been hailing here all day :(
ReplyDeleteLove the pouch and the brooch is really cute!
Oooooo Ahhh...that's the sound of me admiring your zipper ends! I've given up on tabs in the need for speed but need to have another go, having seen yours! x
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a morning! I have had power failures and fire-alarm issues with every building I've ever lived in and have been caught in the shower more than once so I know how not-awesome it is. Getting out of a shower with wet feet in total black is not something I care to repeat! Glad to hear everything's fixed.
ReplyDeleteHow do you manage to get so much into a day? Work. home. kids. shopping. cooking, washing, cleaning, etc., ... and all this too ... I always thought I managed a lot but can scarcely find a moment to finish off all the Xmas gifts I have on the go and I don't work.
ReplyDeleteZips (and gift) are great.
Love your zippy pouch (gorgeous ends!) and the brooch is beaut! Glad you got your electric sorted. Jxo
ReplyDeletethe purse is gorgeous!!! and the brooch is so cute
ReplyDeleteOh no! What a nightmare... glad its all sorted now. The pouch is lovely! You need to do some sort of step by step with pictures on how you get the zipper ends so perfect!
ReplyDeleteJust zippit Hadley! Just kidding...I checked the ends out and they are PD awesome.
ReplyDeleteYour pouch and the felt heart are lovely! Glad the power was only out briefly.
