Self Stitched September 5th

Afternoon folks. After the failure yesterday I'm back in my own clothes. Today it is my purple wrap shorts. I've not taken a new photo as I've spent all day in the kitchen sorting out the windfall apples we go. I havn't finished yet and I've got the plums to tackle yet. So if you wanna see them please click here.

SSS failiure

So the plan was to wear my farm gear today and then get changed into something suitable for SSS when we got back. Yeah we've just got home! I really need to make some work clothes.

I feel like such a failure but I knew there was a possibility that I would fail on Saturdays.

Mary, it's not cold hearted at all. Just a fact of life, and dinner. There was no way was I wearing anything I had made for the chicken dispatch!

Back on the wagon tomorrow then.

feathers flew

It's 9:08 and the rooster has been dispatched and plucked. This was my first go at plucking a chicken and I think it went quite well.

It's odd you know. In there plucking away he was just a dead bird. Away from him I'm really sad that Cornelius is gone. Funny how we think about things.

Self Stitched September - 3rd

Ah here we are on day 3. I'm quite pleased with not only managing to wear something but blogging about it too. Hello to my new guests who have come over form SSS. Mary, I do intend to post every day but I think I may end up with some catch up days.

So onto the item. It's another skirt I'm afraid, I have a few of these. This one again started life as a dress I made, which in turn started life as a duvet cover. The dress was ok but the waist part of it was not quite right. So I scrapped it until I can figure out what is wrong with the pattern for my body.



I also wore a hand made hair barrette today.

Cornelius is a rooster

The little bugger just did a series of crows, one of which was done while looking right at me so there could be no doubt as to which one it was.

Poot!

Self Stitched September - 2nd

Onto day 2 than. Today we have a skirt in my favourite pattern. Spotty!!!! This skirt started life as a "smocked"dress I made. Phew was that a disaster. It then became the back up dress for a wedding I was going to but man it went so wrong. Now it is a skirt. I feel that it is quite happy with it's current incarnation :o)



Please ignore the big giggle face. Spadger made me laugh.

Self Stitched September - 1st

Ok here we go. SSS day 1. I'm combing 2 things here as todays outfit consists of an item from the to do list that I've not posted yet. Here is the tablecloth skirt. It is a circle skirt with a ribbon waistband and back zip. It took me 2 attempts to get this right but I'm really pleased with it. You can't make out the yellow bands in the fabric in this pic. The sun this morning was quite bright.

Also, and I know these aren't stitched, I have on a pair of earrings I made myself too.
