    Mudbath.. slap it on ebay!!! esp. the clarins bags.. you'll get a few quid back!

    afraid i can't be bothered with ebay....used to do it loads and it did my head in. i have decided we are going to do one indoor car boot sale. anything left at the end can go to charity. i've got bags and bags of stuff and even if we only make a small amount it'll still mean tonnes of empty space in the house. so i've set a date for a week on sunday. just over a week to empty this house :D

    right......hhc here i come :T xx

    I have been sewing

    Voile tab curtain turned into a table cloth
    Cushion cover repaired
    Skirt bottom bit cut off and stitched to make a scarf, skirt rehemmed.

    About to chop another skirt - a stretchy wool thing so could be trickier - looks odd walking in the bedroom without it all hanging on the outside of the wardrobe.

    Just going to clean the loos whilst I'm up and having a stretch before sitting back down to the machine - it makes me tense, I hate it if it goes wrong as it is frustrating so I sit there tense.
