Despite telling myself that after a busy work week I should try to do fewer weekend chores, I seemed to still be buzzing around with my hoover and checklist. It was a very busy week at work with classes running every day, including my 2 day overlocker workshop. Everything went very well but there was a lot of reorganising to do at the end of each day to make the classroom ready for the next round of tuition.
I decided not to go anywhere over the weekend and I don’t know how I would have fitted in an outing anyway. Nessie and I ventured out to the park to watch the ceremony in honour of Polo, the town’s stray cat as he was made a “Catizen” by the mayor.
I made quite a lot of messes in my kitchen and created piles of washing up. I put my lime pickle into jars and started another batch. I made more apple, date and apricot chutney, 2 apple cakes which looked ugly but tasted great, and a huge pot of soup.
I was glad that the weather was wet and windy as it meant I could hunker down at the sewing machine to make a notebook cover for Nella’s birthday. The fancy stitching takes far longer than you expect (every time) and I always wish I had remembered to add some sort of elastic closure. I don’t have my overlocker at home so I missed out decorative cover-stitch and fringing but hopefully, she will like the scraps that I selected.
PS - who needs a fancy iron that turns itself off? My old one just keeps going and I now command Alexa to turn it on and off with a smart plug!
