As much as I enjoyed the road trip last week to visit friends
I need to put my hand up to struggling with the demands of semi-sole-parenting a particularly challenging teenager
with both activities seeing MakeOver Mondays take a back seat
I'm determined though not to let the latter get the better of me
instead successfully maintaining my creative mojo
by partaking in the mindful art of handstitching-at-night-on-the-couch
which always helps to soothe the soul
this particular idea has been busting to get out and become a thing for quite a while
and by selecting some of my treasured saved scraps from reclaimed fabrics
the 'Pods' were created
 |
| [Fabrics from a cardy, wool jacket & floral frock] |
and just like any idea
you never know if it's going to work
until it does
so with delight I can say
what was bouncing around in my head all that time
pretty much resembles what I can now wear around my neck.
A Pod making pdf will be available in the Shop soon.

That's a bit cute. xx
ReplyDeleteTeenagers! Agh!!!
ReplyDeletePerfectly put Hilary…I'm looking forward to the day I can sit back and laugh about it all.
DeleteIt would be a shame about MM but at least I might have a chance to catch up with it all! lol.
ReplyDeleteYour pods are rather sweet Jody and I may just have to have a go at making them when the pdf is out! But I'm off now to get the pdf for your Pebble Tattoos. I haven't done any free sewing in such a long time. xx
Thanks Pam, I'm very much looking forward to seeing what MM inspired garments you create along with what your version of the Pebbles will look like. x
