Mending (Ugh) - well, not mending as such but along those lines. Hubby needed new shorts but can never find short legged shorts to buy so ... measure ... cut ... hem!
Making - with those out of the way, or maybe in between shorts (there were 5 pairs), I cut out fabric for 2 more Bondi tops. I had purchased the blue specifically to make into a top and found the cat fabric in my stash ... fairly quick to make up and very comfy.
Baking - I've gone back to baking my own sourdough bread ... trial and error for the first 2 loaves (I'm a bit rusty) but they've been edible. My starter was in the fridge for a few days, out now and 'fed' so I'll see tomorrow how it goes for the next loaf.
Scrap Play - it's so satisfying watching my containers of small strips diminish as my stack of 6.5" blocks grows. First some green log cabins ...
Then out came the blue candy ... just playing around with scrap sizes and layouts and making them up to 6.5" blocks ... might try some half square triangles next, maybe some 9 patch ... I'll see.
It's just nice to fiddle about with no expectation.
Now I've run out of days for February Chookshed Challenge ... today's the day my cards come out to play.
Lots of nice things happening - well not the mending/altering obviously! Bread looks delicious and the tops nice and cool, great scrap blocks too. xx

Your tops look nice and cool and comfy. Isn’t it nice to just play with fabric with no real direction.
