The Friday morning

I spent some time today sewing pouches for mobile telephones. Once I had finished making a few to document and upload, I chose the location for the photographs making sure the light was sufficient, pleasing background etc and slipped my iPhone 5 partly inside the pouch to demonstrate what exactly they were for. Only then I realised, what was I going to take the photo with??. Silly me. So yeah, these pouches are for iPhones or phones of a similar size. 

The hot water bottle

Today whilst in the process of putting together a cute hot water bottle cover I managed to burn myself three times on the iron IN THE SAME PLACE (shame on me) and sew a zip incorrectly for the first time in about two years. If you ever find yourself having an "off" day, my advice is walk away at the first fail. You will probably end up setting fire to your house. That or end up on the kitchen floor sat in a puddle of your tears. 

The train line

I recently discovered how difficult it is to draw detailed pencil images whilst travelling on a high speed train. That difficult, I dashed my 4H pencil down the aisle and slammed the broken food tray thingy back up in frustration. 

The little bear

Once upon a time there lived a little bear called Panda. He wasn't very good at thermo regulating and always felt the bitter sting of winter. He could see his breath when he breathed in his house. So one morning he decided to go shopping for something to help keep him warm. He was incredibly fashion conscious and always liked to look his best. He decided on a lovely wooly hat and a smart blue shirt from a nice big shop with bright lights. Now he looked fabulous AND retained a little bit of his body heat. Happy warm Panda. The end. 

The Sunday afternoon

So, I have had an entire Sunday to do some amazing craft time inventions and what have I done? ..sat there and stared into space, smoked out my entire house attempting to make bonfire toffee and got incredibly angry at coming third place on Nintendo Mario cart double dash. It's now 7pm and I have had the incredibly smart idea to steal somebody else's smart idea of making "inspiration dice". That way I can do less thinking and more making and not waste the next Sunday I have off work. 

All I need to do now is wait for my clay dice to dry, paint them pretty, label them and get "randomised" crafting.
