So that's how you do it....

So...you know how I can patch and sew like someone who has been doing it for eight years?
Well I must confess that I have no idea how to make clothes. I keep seeing the wonderful things that so many other bloggers make and I want in. I buy swodges of material with clothes in mind and I also buy patterns but I don't actually know how to cut a pattern out.

Or at least I didn't. Aunt Pam stepped up again and has shown me how. Lesson one was cutting and overlocking. It was fun and I seem to have something that resembles a skirt. It needs the yoke, band thing put on and a zip put in but that's for Lesson two. Looking forward to being twirly, wirly soon.

I also want to point out that exercise is BAD!
Guess who stepped in mud, went slip sliding and plopped her foot right into a mud puddle?
ME!!!
At least my toenails look fab :o)

And to keep you laughing...I dropped my mobile phone in the toilet today!
Eeeew gross, I know. I was't being weird and toileting while on the phone, it's just I got a call when I was in the middle of cleaning the bathroom. I thought I'd do a quick dust of the top of the cistern and then somehow a fumble ensued.

PLOP!

I fished it out, dried it and then Jules suggested putting it in a jar with dry rice to absorb any moisture. It seems okay so far....
You just gotta keep laughing.

Happy twirling, jumping through puddles and fishing,

  7. I always knew exercise was bad for you and housework is just plain dangerous.

    I hope today is a better day for you.
