Presenting the result of March's Self Portrait Tuesday theme. 31 pictures of me - the equivalent of one per day. All taken within 5 minutes of 7 o'clock.Am I happy to no longer have to shove a camera in my face twice a day? (Do I need to answer that question?!)
And no sooner do I catch my breath from that I'm straight into Use what you have month. Sheesh!
Did I realise when I signed up that this would mean no frugalling for a whole month? Hell no!
Is this a good way to save money? Errr.... now you mention it.....
So what did I do with all this extra time I had today since I wasn't out and about ratting through various op shops?
First I cleaned up the study, including my noticeboard,
Cooked a spot of lunch (lentil, spinach and coriander soup and quick Mediterranean flat bread, if you're interested)
Then I did the end of month accounts (won't bore you with a picture of that, or of the house cleaning) before starting a new project...
...and deciding that maybe I should have used a pattern for the Jumper Based on a True Pattern after all!

wow that soup looks great !
ReplyDeleteI love the SPT collage!! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteButton sorting is an occupational hazard. One of my favourite toys as a child was Mum's button jar. First they'd get sorted by colour, then resorted by number of holes (shanks in a separate classification), then resorted by material used or sometimes sorted largely by colour, then by everything else - my career was predestined.
ReplyDeleteI seem to recognise the Tupperware storage container, too. I use one for beads.
Be strong, much frugalling can occur in May.
Sew Thrifty: There wasn't a pattern as such but I just found out the drawings I used - so pattern on the way. Soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yep, no frugalling. *sniffle*
taphophile: Close but no banana on the button container - it is actually the daisy you see next to the notice board - originally sold in Big W as a paint palette. Of course you've now give me an excellent ide for when I can buy stash again and get too many buttons for the small daisy. Thanks!
Even more fun than sorting buttons when I was a kid was detangling the embroidery cottons. I also used to play Libraries and force my friends to borrow my books...
Yay for frugalling in May! Double Yay for frugalling in May in the USA!!
