    I'd booked the day off for an interview and then decided I don't want to work there.

    So far today I've managed to mend some pyjama bottoms. For my BF and am now wearing them.

    I've also made a folder with a Filofax style folder in it. It's decorated with a star made from studs.

    I have intentions to hem a skirt and make a junk journal this week also. I'm gutted itvtained as I had wanted to go out and enjoy the sculpture park - but this is a close second.

    In love his pj bottoms. I buy him a some each year for Christmas and end up robbing them loads. Haha.

    I have hemmed a skirt too. I'm so impressed. Last time I sorted out the craft room I found three shirts I'd made and not hemmed as I had gone off them. So for me this is progress. I've made an item of clothing I could actually wear. (I almost want this to count for ten because it's such personal progress).

    77/500!

    The two envelopes is a start. I sometimes think it's nice to do a few small bits to keep you ticking over.

    I have disposed of one item and gathered together all of my different sources of filofax papers. It isn't exactly earth shattering levels of work done but it's something.

    Loving the cards cakes and the quilt and glad to hear teddy survived his surgery and is well recovered.
    Sewed up 7 little knitted hats last night for the local scbu, I'll add them to my bag and deliver when I'm next passing.
    Hope everyone is well.

    You always sound so busy, do you sew/knit for your self.
