Yay! Three days off.
What to do with myself?
The first job on the list was a good tidy up in my very messy room.
Things have been dumped everywhere, the first stop on the tidy up mission was to sort out the pile of felt pieces that I was lucky enough to score yesterday.
A facebook seller was letting go of her late Mother's huge stash. There was a massive amount of threads, ribbons, magazines, fabrics and, and, and...
After a good look I settled on this big pile of craft felts for a very small price.
Time to sort it out.
The pieces are all different sizes,
Many have been cut into, but that's ok.
And some are just pieces.
There, that is better, all put away.
We have a felt project at club later this month, I'll take one of these boxes along.
NEXT!
That big bag of fabric I scored from neighbour Shelly.
Those beautiful batiks did fit into the top drawer without any major maneuverings.
Only just.
The other fabrics in Shelly's bag soon found homes in various drawers. Then I had my cutting table back and could get on with a quick repair job for work.
When we are working in the dining rooms at work we wear cute cotton aprons. Some of our residents also wear an apron at meal times. Yesterday this poor apron fell apart while in use.
So I brought it home for a quick repair. A dig through my lace trims and ribbon jar found just the right piece.
Five minutes later it was all fixed and ready to return to work.
Next I had a request from a colleague.
Please make her daughter a hot water bottle cover.
Plan A will become something else. LOL. But plan B looks cute. I'll deliver both tomorrow.
NEXT.
I ironed the small pile that had grown.
Tidy up and chores completed.
After some lunch I think I'll sit and sew something for me.

Sometimes we need to tidy and all looks good now.
You sure have scored loads of fabrics ,felts etc lately so plenty to keep you going.
Cute water battle bag.
You have definitely earned your sit and sew, Lou!
That is very cute fabric for the hot water bottle cover - russian stacking dolls, how adorable. I need to tidy my sewing room but there is currently a rather large black cat asleep in there so I will wait 😉
You have been productive. Good job.
Lovely feeling to have all that fabric and felt neatly stored away. xx
Although I don't really need reminding, my sewing room is in need of a good tidy up too.
a tidy room is nice...til it gets messed up again...LOL
Enjoy your brief break.
Well done on the tidy up - any chance you could pop over and do mine please? Great to score the felt and fabric.
A good tidy up and mending done. Now onto the next job. I have to make a hot water bottle cover for a gift
good on you for tidying up, my room needs it but not today
Sometimes a tidy up can lead to a little inspiration. Never know what is hiding.
You have been getting some very good buys lately!
