I was flicking through old notebooks looking for the contact details of a customer who left the wrong number on my answerphone and it was obvious how much more I used to do. There were pages of scribbles of things to do and projects that were underway. Whenever anyone asked what I was up to I would always answer that I was super-busy. Nowadays, I think it is an achievement if I make my bed or collect eggs from my hens.
I did actually do 3 customer quilts this week - one freehand babygro quilt, a small Starwars alphabet quilt and an enormous Christmas one. I am thinking of squeezing in my 2 caravan quilts after the next customer one;)
Despite many spam messages from made-up names on Messenger, I have sold 2 of my microwaves on Facebook Marketplace. If only I could purge more “junk” from the house I might feel inclined to do some dusting. I have no idea how junk shop owners manage. Maybe I should just advertise that my whole house is a junk shop so people can call in and make offers on whatever they fancy.
I bought a cheap rug online for the caravan that I knew was too big and hoped that I would be able to trim it to size. I hacked it into 2 pieces using kitchen shears and gingerly sewed binding onto the raw edges with a hefty needle inserted into my sewing machine. The caravan interior is probably complete now except that I still have to decide if it would benefit from some bunting…
