scraps

Hi lovely ones! I hope the mums out there had a wonderful, peaceful day. I really enjoyed mothers day this year. Sometimes mothers day can feel like a huge disappointment, not this year! The kids brought gifts from the fete at school, really thoughtful ones, not grab the most colourful or popular thing.  And after just getting back form work late Friday husband tried really hard to looking after everything without my help, even growled at me for trying to do the washing. Thankyou family for a lovely day!! How was your day?

Seeing as though I wasn’t allowed to ‘do’ anything yesterday, by late afternoon I was bored out of my mind, so I finally started clearing out my ‘scraps’.  I have scraps that have come with me from Ballarat to Horsham to Tassie to Horsham again and finally here! Some have been boxed up that long, other I have been added too.  

So I have done one box. And in true I-hate-to-throw-anything-out-because-one-day-it-migh-be-useful style I found a skirt that I’m pretty sure I didn’t start, missing a pocket and zip (why I am pretty sure it wasn’t mine!). 

So this morning I finished it! No zip, just lovely elastic, mother of four best friend.

Not a hem lover, so just rolled hemmed it and used scraps from the throw out pile to make the other pocket. See, I might need them!
