We know some of the children can't read...but the ones who can thought it was hilarious and insisted on this photo!
Work became one VERY long day of cleaning (9 hours!!), clearing out the academic year, we reorganised the room too.....gets the kids thinking about where they can find things when they come back and they remember better then if we were to tell them!
The next day we undertook all the preparing for the next year! Still not finished to be honest!
The in-laws came down for a short stay and during a trip into town, I managed to get this shot of my beautiful Teenage Daughter...she'll hate me for this!
On Sunday, I decided to get my head into a different space. Having ordered some new jeans from H&M, who thankfully sell jeans by the waist and leg measurements, I can get a pair that actually fit without a gaping hole in the small of my back to fill with shopping!!
Hence my lovely old pair (that I had worn through at the knee!) became my cut-offs for playing and gardening!
I cut the jeans across the knee, just above the hole. I chose some nice bright fabric and sliced it across the width at a 2" depth and ran it through my clover bias binding gadget to produce a nice binding...pinned it on like this..........
I whizzed round the binding with my sewing machine and then flipped the binding over and hand stitched it to the inside......
And ta-dah!...cut-offs!
I've left them long so that as they wear, I can just cut them shorter and shorter!
So , that was those few days.....the next week went in a whirlwind...so I'm not sure how much of that I can really show you in photos!
But after that we made some trips...those I will share!
Back soon!
Love
Nora
