Tired out and too much to think about.

! Well I am as the title says, tired out etc

It's not that I have had a hectic day at all. I had a very late night going to a charity concert, and then deciding to watch some catch up TV. Before I realised it was after 2AM! But I didn't have DGD here to wake me, so was able to have a very late lie in, watched the Great North Run ending on the TV in my bedroom and did a cooked breakfast for BF, DS and myself. Haven't done that in a very long time. Then it was pottering with housework as I no longer have a cleaner. That's going to take some. Getting used to! 

Then this afternoon I dropped DS at his mates enroute to collect DGD from her Mum's and then we went shopping at Mr T for trainers she needs for school PE. And I indulged in a few other items that I had been putting off. Socks and pants, winter boots for DGD and some trainers and socks for me. I had to have these!

Appliqué Jumpers

Today I was back at Vintage Garms. After a catch up on the reshuffle, I got down to Buisness. A few repairs, a few button replacements and then I got to retrend some jumpers and a shirt. 

Thank You From the Food Bank

I realise that my making spot is usually all about my sewing but I wanted to share my bounty with you all. 

All the budgeting and Menu planning that I have learnt with Moneysavingexpert.com has come into great use as I was able to produce a basic menu plan based on the items in the Food Bank bags. Today I went to deliver some more copies of the Menus and to see what else that I could do for them. A large donation of Indian Food has been given to them and so I have been given some as a Thankyou. I will also be trying to see what I can do with these items to extend the menus for a bit of a difference, but I don't know where to begin. Lots of research needed to get me started. 

So a challenge ahead. 

Any ideas greatfully received!

Table Top was slow!

Well yesterday's table top was very slow. We were off to the side in the gardens so not everyone came looking. However, although I only sold £20 worth of stuff It got people looking and cards handed out. Would have sold a few more things if they had been in the right sizes. 

Will work on a variety of sizes in future. But there was one set of contacts that may prove interesting. Some gypsy families that are local to the pub want some baby clothes made. So it may be an avenue for work. Time will tell. 

Darling granddaughter has lost those two front teeth in the last 24 hours. 

Tooth dairy will be working overtime tonight. 

Appliqué day

Hopefully these will go at the weekend. 

The table top is fast approaching and today I have been making some adaptations to T. Shirts ready to sell.
