Patchwork Moments


When I am not homeschooling, parenting, washing, cleaning, cooking, shopping, driving or at the warehouse I sew fragments of leftover fabrics into wool storage,  I mean, soft furnishings.



Like this patchwork pillow, made out of offcuts of all our denim jeans over the years.


And my purple velvet pillow, made from a favourite piece of clothing from years ago. (BC)


This colourful folk-artsy print on navy cord reminds me of our chickens and the flowers and garden of our old house. I miss them, but every time I look at this print I know I'll have my chooks and veggie garden again sometime in the future! They bring me so much joy. Still hoping to squeeze in some travelling herb pots. Hope wherever you are today you are finding your joy, too. 






Meanwhile...

Meanwhile we swim at the lagoon, eat fruit kebabs with honey and yoghurt, ride our bikes and scooters, learn some Maths and English and try to get enough sleep.  It's a hard life. ;)








Look at me, Mum! Look at me!
