My Denim Throw

I have been collecting denim jeans for quite awhile, picking the odd pair up at the bazaars that I have been going to during the winter months. I cut them up into rectangles the size of a cd box. ( I used one to cut them out. ) When I had cut them all out I sewed them all together on my sewing machine.

 

The seams are 1/2 inch wide and are on the right side.

Quite colourful with all the different denims.

I have sewed them all together, now I have to sit and clip all those seams every 1/2 inch so that when it is washed and dried they fray and go fluffy. Well that’s the idea anyway. There is only one snag with this for I don’t have a tumble drier.  Anyway got to go I have a pair of scissors waiting for me. x

Food from our garden

A while back I showed you some photos of our garden with our potatoes growing, well now this is the results.

Radish, Lemons. potatoes.

 

Sorry there is no picture of our lettuce but we have eaten it all. We also have a hungry tortoise who just loves lettuce.

All the shaws of the potatoes are dying back now so its time to lift them. Got to go and get some sacks  to put them all in.

I remember when I was young we lived on a farm and I used to help the tattie pickers pick their tatties. Then when I got older going picking myself and getting paid. I remember picking potatoes for a month solid. At first all my muscles ached but by the end of the month I was fine. Ah! the good old days.

My New Cupboard

In this house storage space is at a premium. So we had a brainwave on where to put a cupboard. Above the bathroom door would be a great place. Now we are not going to go out and buy a cupboard, no that’s to simple. We are goi9ng to make it out of reclaimed wood.

This wood!

Ok I know it looks grotty and all that but this is what we are using.

Oh and from these pictures you might just notice that our bathroom does not have a door. That is another project for later.

Painting followed.

Now we have a cupboard with some very useable storage space. Now let’s see what will I fill it with????????????

And the Winner is?

I put all the names into a cup whizzed them all around and drew out one slip of paper………

The lucky winner is Midge from Soggibottom

Thank you all for entering.

Midge please email me your address and I will post you your prize.
