I'd had such big plans for these past six days when I was here all by myself. I was going to be cutting out and sewing up loads of pillowcase bags, possibly even making some slightly more sophisticated bags, maybe even venturing a bit further afield and sewing up some summery cushion covers. Oh yes, the plans were endless. I'd have so much more time what with only having to cater for myself and then there was that whole empty weekend for me to be really creative in. Yeah, right!! None of my best laid plans came to fruition!
I partly blame the lovely weather which saw me being out and about a lot more than I'd planned on being. I mean, no way was I going to turn down the chance of going with my next-door neighbours to the first car boot of the season. Then there was the copious amounts of washing to be done - because you just never know when this lovely weather might disappear. Then there was taking advantage of it being nice and dry and so getting the grass cut for the first time, which led on to yet another 'tidy up' of bits of the garden yesterday afternoon.
In my defence, m'lud, I did spend a fair chunk of both Friday and Saturday afternoon hand-stitching a little something for Mother's Day (photos to follow next week when said item has been received by my Mum), and I did manage to knit yet another waffle dishcloth in the evenings.
However, the most useful thing I did in the whole six days was this morning when I finally got round to gluing the world's most irritating castors back on to the bathroom trolley. That damn trolley has been one of the very few Ikea items I've bought that I've not been best pleased with. From the start the castors had the most annoying habit of falling off whenever you so much as looked at the darn thing. I would have ditched it years ago but we don't have any storage to speak of in our bathroom - including no toilet-roll holder - so we've had to continue using it no matter how annoying it has been. We've only had it for about 12 years so it didn't take me too long to get round to fixing it!!
