Oh yeah, remember this? I was not wrong 🙃 Fortunately this time my husband had another offer waiting for him, so he's still starting a new job, just not the one we thought 😅 I can't keep up View quoted note →

Sometimes it feels so funny to me that I really birthed this little Finn. 4 years old and salmiakki is a casual sweet treat for him. When we travel, we have to pack large quantities of rye bread. British children could never 😂

I did it, sewed my first item of clothing 😭 This summer, in the spirit of "you can just do things", I decided to get a sewing machine and learn to make my own clothes. 🪡🧵 It seemed like my body shape was once again out of fashion (was it ever in fashion?), and I couldn't find anything I actually wanted to wear in the shops. I chose a "beginner-friendly" pair of pyjamas to start with, but of course I had to complicate things by lengthening the shorts into full-length trousers. When I was able to start trying them on, I also realised I wasn't happy with the fit. The rise was too short in the front and the legs were too wide, so instead of sticking with the pattern, I also changed the foldover waistband into an attached waistband for extra length, and altered the legs to fit by pinning them on myself. So what have I learned? 🐢 Pacing. Better to work in short focused bursts than exceed my limits and make mistakes 🌟Overcoming perfectionism. I always want to be outstanding at everything right away, and it's hard for me when there's a gap between my practical skills and the picture I have in my head 🧩Problem-solving. The pattern didn't fit, so I made it fit. And the instructions were minimal so I had to do a lot of figuring things out on my own. By the end, I really started to get a feel for how the pieces fit together. The result? A perfectly fitting pair of pyjama bottoms 👌 Now I just need to get over all the little imperfections that only I know are there 😅

Feeling really unsettled about my husband's new job and I'm hoping it's just my brain's pattern recognised raising a false alarm 🙃 When things have been tough for a long time, something good happening feels suspicious View quoted note →
