I can't remember having this much snow in May ever.
Yesterday I was a bit feed up with all the snow and wanted to cheer myself up with buying some craft supplies. But then I remembered I have restricted my self from buying new stuff until I have used more of my stash.
So I went to the second hand store instead.
I found a lovely floral jacket. But it was not my size. Some how it seems to have found it's way into my bag anyway.
It just needed a little alternation to fit.
Unpicking the seams in the side and most of the waist band and cuffs.
Adding a side panel from a xxl t-shirt i bought earlier to use for some thing else.
While I was in a good flow I did the same to another jacket.
I'm notorious buying clothes that I plan on alter just because I love the fabric.
When I finished the socks 🧦 I was knitting for my son I realised I was out of knitting and crochet projects. I'm not sure how that is possible. 🙊I always have several projects going on.
Luckily my hubby reminded me I had promised to make him another pair of felted slippers 👌
I need to find some inspiration so I don't run out of projects.
I have not done so much mending lately but I did mend some trainers. They was very worn and had spots that I wasn't able to get off.
I used some cotton thread and wove it in the mesh fabric.
I think they turned out pretty well
I also machine darned a few socks 🧦
This is what the shoes looked like before
Some with previous darns. I really do prefer to darn by hand 🖐️
Snow on apple flowers does look nice
We are hoping for better weather soon 🔜
In the mean time I will be busy crafting.
Thanks for stopping by 🌷
Stay safe and well ❤️
Wishing you a lovely weekend 💐
