So to keep me sane, I've been researching weaving. I had kids weaving loom when I was about 8. And a few months ago I watched Kirsty Allsop on one of her lockdown craft programmes use one. I thought then that it would be fun to have another go. So, I've been looking into it. Mainly people make their looms out of picture frames. So after Christmas, I'm going to have a bash. Yes I know, I have my card making, journaling and diamond painting already. But, variety is the spice of life and if we aren't going to move far next year too, I will need all my crafty projects to keep more from climbing the walls.
It's what I did as a kid when I was unable to go out and play, I had my books and jigsaws and even then I would make stuff. My Dad bought me a set of Wombles plastic finger puppets ( I still have them!) I remember spending hours covering boxes in torn newspapers and linking them together to make a working burrow. Sadly, I also remember my Mum in a fit of temper squashing them flat and putting them in the bin. When she had calmed down a couple of days later she offered to help me make more, but I hadn't got the heart. I put the figures in a box and left them there until when I left home to move in with Kev, I found them. I have them still in that same plastic box in a drawer in the bedroom. Funny what you hold onto.
Right, I still had some money left from my 40 years award to spend so I've got myself a lovely new handbag. It's by Killstar and is called Never Trust The Living. So, I need to go through my bags and edit them down. This one is roomy and also has the strap to make it crossbody.
The other purchase I've made with it is to buy a new mp3 player and ear buds. Because I go on the bus on my own again I want to pop on my ear buds and drown out the world.
