I've been busy sewing
Having given up my job last Summer, we have definitely noticed the drop in household income. We are all doing what we can to help- little things count like turning off lights, not cooking too much food, growing our own veggies, cooking form scratch, and keeping the chickens are all important. Whilst I still work the odd day here and there, I felt I needed to do something else to help with cash flow and something that didn't involve licking envelopes either. I needed something to get my teeth into ( no not being a part-time dentist), something for me to work on, to think about whilst at home. I made a number of gifts at Christmas this year and one of our local shops took several of my cushions and childrens aprons and they did pretty well. I have dusted my sewing machine off and given it an oil and have started beavering away. I made these :
and these this week:
To be honest I'm not going to make a fortune but it should give me a lot of pleasure and if nothing else it will give me something to think about in those wee early hours of the morning when I just can't sleep.
I'll keep you updated on my progress in between my allotment and other posts. Now where did I leave the scissors.....................
