For now, Wednesdays have been my regular day off, until my contract ends at the end of this month. After then who knows what I will be working, but making the most of my day off. Having done the Tesco shop this morning I used this afternoon to do some sewing. Last week I bought Molly Makes Magazine and had to have a go at the Betty doll featured on the front cover. Here's mine.
Although it was a job to turn through the skinny arms and legs and stuffing the upper part of her body, she was fun to make and deciding that she needed some 'jewellery' - well she had to be properly dressed! So sewed on a sequin 'earrings', put on a little pearl necklace and sewed a little ribbon flower.
I've also got around to making a new bag for my camera and in red, the right colour to go with my little red Samsung. I've made do with a bag that's been too big. The pattern for this came from an issue of the Quilter magazine which took just an hour to make, why I hadn't done this before I don't know.
I also went to a sewing Saturday (last Saturday) and made another bookwrap to add to this growing collection.
Last of all here's a pic of the new bathroom suite, quite a change from the old.
That was Wednesday, back to work tomorrow.
