WHAT SHALL I DO WITH THIS?

 I bought two very cheap sweatshirts from K Mart yesterday.   I had something in mind for them from the start.

ABOVE:  This one looks very blah laid out on the floor, but wait till I've finished with it!

I reckon this $18 misery is going to look fabulous.

It sure looks WIDE as f*#k just lying on the floor... it's a size 16.  Last time I bought a winter top it was at least a 20, if not bigger.  So something is working.  😂😉😊

I feel like my hard work is FINALLY paying off ... I threw out 4 big sweatshirts yesterday.  It felt so good throwing them in the bin.

They were not pristine enough to gift to anyone else btw. 

I had thought of keeping them for 'around home' tops, but they were just too big and made me feel like a frump.

Fuck feeling/looking like a frump.  That would have just dragged me down in the dumps.

It is 'Teacher Only Day' at Dante and Archer's school today.  So they are coming here while Bex Works.

I am sure I can still work on that sweatshirt while they play on their Chrome Books.

I know heaps of people like to restrict computer use for their kids, but while they are here... I say go for it!  Happy kids = quiet kids.  I'm over noisy, rambunctious kids!

Right, I'm going to read the news and emails, then get up and start the day.

9am:  and I've already finished that top...

ABOVE:  Usually this fish would have some fearsome teeth, but I've opted not to add teeth as the fabric is quite loose and it might not work too well with little teeth.  It was hard enough just getting the stitching tidy with the bigger pieces.

Overall, I'm happy with how it worked out.

Now... I've got this one to think about:  

ABOVE:   It doesn't show up in the photo, but it's a very pale blue.  

Should I do another Fish?  Or something else?

Gimme some ideas ...

ABOVE:  At the end of the day, it wasn't hard to decided what to put on this sweatshirt.

Now I have two new winter tops that are totally unique, and funky.  My sorta funky anyway.

I have kept the houses simple, no chain downpipes or flowers etc.  Going for the 'less is more' theme again.

Now, it's 2.21 pm, the boys went home half an hour ago.  So I might just relax and watch something on Netflix, or YouTube.  

I'm done in the sewing room for today.

Or have I?  I just realised I forgot to put chimneys on my houses.  And they need chimneys!  I'll do them later.

ABOVE:  It's later.  They are done.

And I added a bloody chain drainpipe!

I had a very quiet afternoon, which was lovely.  Had a late shower and hair wash, and got into me PJ's at 4pm!  No point getting dressed again.... no one visits us in the evenings.

Unless they are family.  And they don't mind seeing me in my PJ's and Oodie.

I made a wrap for his dinner, he loved it.  I put Won Tons on his wrap, something a bit different.

Yummo.

Time to wind down.... catch ya tomorrow.
