I'm beyond proud of all my boys' achievements, but sewing Scouting badges on can just get in the bin 😂. xx

This weekend, I finally (I've been trying to secure a place for months!) had the pleasure of attending my first basket weaving class.
I spent the day with the very talented Louise McLean at her studio in Portrush, Co. Antrim. Louise is a basketweaver, willow artist and owner of Craft NI with her husband. I should also say, she has the patience of a saint 😂.
I left with a beautiful basket that I'm extremely proud of and had a lovely day connecting with other crafters.
I heartily recommend a visit.

Anyhoo, check out my basket, I love it ❤️ xx

Are you vertically challenged like me and have to shorten every pair of trousers?? I hate it!!!

I have been wearing these way too long for ages but I tripped over myself once too often and thought today's the day I fix the length.

I couldn't find my tape measure.

I don't have any black thread.

I used the original hem to measure and fold.

I used dark grey thread (not dark enough it turns out 🤣).

I have puckers everywhere as the fabric is so slippy.

The tension was too tight.

But you know what? It's done! Took 15 mins. No more falling over my own trouser legs.

If anyone judges these hems, that's really not my problem. They look ok TO ME and that's all that matters.

This is your sign to just do the thing.

Finished not perfect ❤️ xx
