My creative space

Oh dear, what a funny old week. Out of sorts. Worried. Tired of mean people. Cranky. Plus I've run out of tiffin.

Auditing

Time for some therapy online fabric shopping! But instead I thought I would dig through my box of fabrics and do an audit of what I already had. This is only part of it.

Cutting

So I did some cutting.

Results

A cup of coffee and an hour later I had myself the makings of some sunnyboys, and I was feeling much more at peace with the world.

More creative spaces over at Kirsty's!

  15. Oooh lovely stash! I'm glad the creativity soothed you, as it does. But I can understand you being upset about finishing the tiffin, I just had to look away from that post (well actually I made a comment about having to go on a diet and not being able to read the recipe at all!).
