Creative Mum :: A Morning to Myself
Ah, I love VBS (technically, Vacation Bible School, but in my world, Very Blessed Silence). All three kids are enjoying friends, games, snacks and the Word. This mom? Enjoying a bit of reading, a bit of socializing, a coffee shop (gasp, unheard of decadence), and today, a bit of sewing.
It's amazing what can be accomplished without helpers or interruptions. With Wuthering Heights on in the background (one of the books I set aside to read this week, as I have shamefully never read it before), I began to iron and measure and sew. I love the cheerful fabrics Siena and I picked out at the fabric counter the other day. I love the methodical nature of sewing the same seam over and over, the unique sound of the pinking shears cutting through, the pleasing stack of colorful triangles. I am loving how I envision the finished product - watch out birthdays, some cheer is coming your way!
The only glitch was my ironing board cover, which lost its cord in a battle with the vacuum, and therefore cannot stay on the frame. Enter a quick google search, some snipping, a bit of sewing (nary any ironing, thankfully), and I've got myself a new ironing board cover, bold and clean, and staying in place.
How I love to sew!

This is a really cute idea! And, oh, how I wish I could just whip up an ironing board cover (or whatever was in need - my ironing board cover is fine for now). I WILL learn to sew one of these days!
Just popped by and thought I'd say 'hi' and love your blog.
