It is now 5 weeks since we returned from our New Zealand holiday and I have not written a single blog post.
I came home knowing that I had several big tasks which were somewhat time sensitive so instead of trying to grab a moment here and there to try to write blog posts, I made a conscious decision to set blogging aside until the other jobs were completed or at least sufficiently underway.
Things I did:
- Finished a dress alteration for a friend before she went on holidays
- Made 5 pairs of loose, lightweight trousers for another friend to take on holidays and repaired 2 skirts as well
- Made 35 metres of bunting for a fundraising fete to be held at the end of October
- Made 12 jars of grapefruit marmalade
- Created questions for an upcoming fundraising trivia night
- Sourced screening rights for films to be offered for voting for the 2027 program for our local film society
- Created and printed voting sheets (with film description and image) for film society voting on Thursday
- Culled, sorted, numbered and named the photos from our New Zealand trip
- Wrote and published 5 blog posts on my travel blog
Apart from that there have been all of the usual jobs that keep the household running as well as plenty of volunteering.
Here are a few photos.
Marmalade – hopefully enough for the year.
Bunting – all made from scraps from my stash – I may have put a slight dent in one or two piles of fabric.
A pair of trousers
The inside of the trousers. I French seamed all of them as the fabric was very lightweight and could be prone to fray.
It is good to be back because even after 15.5 years I still enjoy blogging and sharing snippets with you.
