Obviously I did the hard work loading the barrow & my minion/husband waltzed it round & emptied it.
We had some help/hinderance as you can see. They didn't stay long prefering to run around the garden /building site chasing each other. Its funny, we tried to make the lawn as large as we could given the space available, & yet its only when something is plonked in the middle that they really run around in the garden.
I also managed to make some trousers for Tintin which are almost finished. They would have sewn up in a trice but I decided to make things harder for myself by creating cuffs & a pocket from an old necktie. I never appreciated just how much fabric it must take to make one little tie. I am now off to deconstruct as many as I can find. I am sure there is a wealth of making possibilities waiting for me.
Hope you're not aching today after all that manual work. The trousers look lovely.
ReplyDeleteumm I remember shifting a nuge delivery of pea shingle onto our path - my minions were very good & we had to get it done quickly as the load was blocking the pavemnt !
ReplyDeleteA sweet lady brought lots of her husband's ties into the carity shop where I help - she'd ironed them beautifully. Someone bought the lot to make patchwork squares.
