New skirt!
Made from the bottom legs of a pair of flared jeans. Trimmed, with pockets, also trimmed and lined.
Very pleased, especially as I turned the top of the jeans into a pair of shorts,too!
Bonus! :)
Busy day!
Out of 6 pairs of unusable/ripped jeans/trousers and a small amount of material, I now have:
3 pairs of jeans
1 pair of trousers
2 pairs of shorts
1 denim skirt
and a boob tube!
Summer wardrobe nearly done!!

Phew! Just finished a couple of hours of evening gardening. It’s been too hot to brave it outside today!
Instead, I made some bread rolls and finished up making a calico dress pattern.
TIRED!
22nd May
What a scorcher! I was totally unprepared for the heat wave that hit us today. I must remember to dig out some summer clothes on the weekend!
We popped out to see friends tonight. I ended up talking about the WI and think I might join. Apparently I can go without joining for 3 sessions before I make my mind up so that’s good.
Will Smith and Gary Barlow Do ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ Rap
I fucking love the Graham Norton Show. Also, our whole house rapped along.
Nice!

Via stuff that's awesome.

Wow, I’m chilled! I’ve just been to a ‘Stretch and Relax’ class. It’s a mixture of Tai Chi, Yoga, Pilates and Relaxation techniques. Just a couple of things to do, then bed! I got home to the smell of the bread maker just finishing so I’ve taken the new loaf out to cool.
Bobo the cat is enjoying the warm spell in the garden. Butternut will be able to join him soon. She had her second flu shot today, along with a microchip. She also got some cream for her gacky eye. I just need to get a collar on her now and she’s sorted. I thought it would be too much all at once if I did it today.
So, quite a bit done. I even got a 4k run in at lunch time, along with a 1.5k row.
I’m now chilling with a vanilla, chamomile and honey tea. Bliss! :)

Tired!
We’ve cleaned the house, been out and met friends at a ceramics fair in town and then been to hospital to visit a friend.
Film. Bed.
May 19th
Well, today has been eventful. I’m glad that my friends know that they can count on me and it makes me happy that they do. It’s a shame about bad circumstances but hopefully they’re getting better now.
On the upside, this afternoon we went to a birthday barbecue, which was great because we saw loads of people we hadn’t seen in ages.
