Living life? We certainly have been doing that over the last few weeks. Two birthday celebrations, University open day visits, a school reunion and just a little bit of Christmas preparation.
The Christmas cards are under way...
A new project to start...
This is my Mum's sewing box that she has given to me in exchange for a desk. The desk has draws in that she is going to store her cotton reels etc in and her sewing machine on top.
I am super excited to have her sewing box. I can't remember a time that I haven't seen it sitting in the corner of her living room. It's been part of my childhood. As I grew up she has made many a dress or a skirt for me. Taken up trousers or altered flat sheets into fitted. She even made my wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses.
Yes, many memories.... but I have a few plans to update it, make it my own, a storage for my latest woolly/sewing project. it can now sit in my living room, ready to be opened on a cold winters evening.
i had one of them sewing boxes, a christmas present from my nan and grandad when i was young and enjoyed sewing!! where oh where did it go...got a feeling it was probably sold at a car boot!! oh!!

I have a box like that too! My Mum bought it for me when I got married.
