wiseheartThe Velcro work on all 12 mini sewing kits is done. Now my fingers hurt, but I'm happy to have this phase behind me. I also started sewing the kits together and filling them with sewing utensils: needles, glass-headed pins, safety pins. Three of them are finished, I only have to add the thread samples. Yay!
Other than that, we had laundry day and I cooked lunch. We watched some telly, too (goes well with hand-sewing) and went for a walk, as the weather was beautiful. Forecast promises a drastic drop of temperatures, soon, so we went as long as we could. Mum hates trousers and she's lost so much weight during the recent four or six years that now all her skirts are falling off, therefore we don't go out much when it's cold outside.
I'm also thinking of making orange marmalade. I've found an idiot proof recipe; perhaps I'll give it a try for Christmas. And perhaps grapefruit jam, too...
