Mashed up thoughts

I love good mashed potatoes, but they always make me bloated.

Ok, so here's where my head has been this last week.... it may or may not (who am I kidding?) have something to do with that monthly cycle.

My thoughts over the last few weeks:

I'll put most of my crafty stuff in storage.

Wow, it's actually going to happen, we're moving overseas semi-temporarily.

Today I'll have a quick sort through my stuff.

There's not as much stuff as I thought, that's great!

And... a lot of it isn't actually as nice as I once thought.

That particular fabric is awful, why do I still have it?

That, also, is awful.

I am a hoarder.

I knew I was a hoarder.

I know, person X will like that.

No, they won't.

Throw it out.

But what if person Y would like it.

No, they won't.

They might.

Throw it out.

No, I'll put it in a 'potentially throw out' box.

  Oh!  There's that perfectly folded pile of old ripped jeans I hoarded.

They smell funky.

Out they go.

That was easy.  Next.

I remember I used that fabric for a dress.

Oh, and that pretty one for a skirt.

Must keep it.

No, must gift it.

It's all too much.

Ni-ni.

About a month ago I made a pretty skirt, I mentioned it here but I wasn't fully 'sold' on it.  So, as you do, I didn't post any pics of it.

I've now worn it a few times since and begun to really like it.  So much that I am planning on making another one.  I've bought the fabric, just need to find the right pair of jeans to sew it to.  The pair I had in mind don't fit 'right' so the next skirt will have to wait.

This skirt was made from an op-shopped sheet and an old pair of jeans that had worn through in the thighs.  There ain't no 'thigh-gap' on this chicky.
