Sewing Sunday...

Hi everyone,

Second post today...catch-up!

Sewing Sunday has been a fail :-(

I'm not putting too much pressure on myself. It's so hot and humid at the moment that it's a struggle just getting the chores done. I would love to sit down and sew but like I said before, I feel guilty when there are other jobs to do. 

Daisy and I have been creative in her activities throughout the week...I will always make time for that and baking is a craft too!

Sorry not much of any interest this weekend. Hopefully I can have a more productive week ahead.

Has anyone managed to sew, knit, crochet, craft this week?

Thanks for reading,

Sewing Sunday...

Hi everyone,

Today is sewing Sunday. Although I would love to be cutting bits of fabric to make Daisy's first quilt, I have had to turn my attention to my clothes. Some are literally falling apart! My first thought was to throw out a pair of trousers that are really bad, but actually they would do for gardening. I'm not a keen gardener as you know, but I do need old clothes to wear when I'm tidying up and pottering in the garden. So, I have decided to sew them up and keep them a bit longer.

I have a basket that is full of clothes that need mending...a simple case of replacing a button or repairing a hem that's come down. Nothing too difficult and I need to just get on with it! When my mending is done, then I'll get back to the quilt preparation. 

Have any of you entered Frugal Queen's fabric giveaway? I have Froogs! Such a generous gift to the lucky winner...fingers crossed!!

Changing the subject...

I have been decluttering today. I donated a lot of stuff recently to the charity shop and we've had another collection bag through the door. Today I have filled a very large box with videos and clothes for the air ambulance charity shop. It'll be collected tomorrow. It makes me feel so good to be rid of unnecessary possessions, decluttering stuff does really declutter the mind. I am definitely succeeding in this area. I have changed...gradually the hoarder in me is disappearing! The house is so much easier to clean too!

Back tomorrow with my meal plan. Thanks for reading,

Sewing Sunday...

Hi everyone

Well Sunday blogging is supposed to be all about sewing or crafting that I have done...oh dear...I have failed on this one!

I always feel guilty if I do stuff like hobbies when there are other jobs to be done. I haven't found the time for hobbies this week.

I have been grocery shopping today in Leamington Spa and cleared a huge pile of ironing...sadly no time for sewing.

This is my current project...


This basket contains my patchwork. I'm making a quilt for Daisy. It's a slow process!

Daisy and I do lots of crafting together, so maybe I will start sharing that with you instead.

Has anyone else managed to fit in some sewing or crafting this week?

Thanks for reading,
