Getting back into this exercise thing seems to be working a treat – every single bit of my body aches.
It was a relatively uneventful weekend, where not a huge deal was achieved.
I did manage to cook a wee bit and to complete a yoga mat carrier for Don, crafted from bits and pieces from the stash (including some leather I’d long ago snipped from a pair of old sandals).
It took hours and hours and hours (and hours): I sewed a bit, thought a bit, unpicked a bit, thought a bit more, sewed again (repeat).
Joe/Frank modelling the bag
Denim from retired jeans, leather from old sandals, linen straps from an old pair of pants
I was quite pleased with the results. After all that thinking, my (matching, of course!) bag should be a great deal easier to complete!
What promises to be a marvellous beef stew with parsley dumplings is simmering in the oven, afterward I will laze about and reading all the very interesting, articles I have sent to kindley from longform
All is right with the world.
mate, you are a serious genius in the sewing department. This is a fabulous thing indeed and I want one!
Milly! ZOMG!
You are too kind – email me your address and I will totes make you one (have a giant sack full of discarded denim and tons of leather scraps)
Am in the process of kicking back with a glass of wine replying to your email
