still at home. still sick. have got to the coughing up bits of lung stage, fun. The problem with being at home sick in self imposed isolation is that ... well one is both sick and in isolation- I hate being stuck at home alone on a Sat night :-(
Still, I managed to alter four garments yesterday.
-added buttons to an otherwise lovely green cardi which was designed to tie around the waist in a most unattractive way
-took in - shaped the waist of a new jacket that I bought for $19 marked down from $139
-took up the sleeves of a great denim jacket bought in an opshop in Edinburgh. The sleeves were too long- not such a suprise, but they were also different lengths, what the? by 2.5cm even.
-shortened my old cotton petticoat. This has always been too narrow to stride in. Now it can be dagged about the house in on excruciatingly hot days.
I did another fun thing. The good thing about thinning your carrots is that you have a legitimate excuse to pull them up and see if they are growing. And they are! so cute:
I also got brave and attempted to shift the bathroom towel rail. As predicted given the state of my brain, this did not go well. Though it wasn't really my brain at fault. It was put up with butterfly screws which you can't take out without dismantling and then you can't put them back. So I am about to brave the hardware store to buy some more. I'll try not to breathe on anyone.
Wish my house was clean and tidy- it so isn't. Maybe I will at least do the dishes before the hardware excursion.
