Hello! How have the last few weeks treated you? We had enjoyable school holidays at home, made very indulgent by watching a lot of movies – more than I’ve ever watched in my life in fact! Our daily routine was to start a movie around 9pm, go to bed at 11pm (the kids) or 1am for the adults, wake at 9ish and do it all over again the next day! It was fun to show the kids some movies my husband and I enjoyed growing up, like Crocodile Dundee, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and While You Were Sleeping.
In between all this movie watching we also found time to go to the beach and for some house decluttering and creative projects. I enjoyed making the skirt (modelled above) for Portia. She picked out the fabric from Spotlight for this free pattern I found on Pinterest. The skirt is pretty simple to make with a waistband in the front and elastic in the back. The online tutorial from Anna Elizabeth Made was really well written and simple to follow.
We’re back doing online school now, but I’m excited that the kids are able to return to face to face school next week. A significant step in the return to a little normality.
How has the pandemic been treating you? Have you had to work even harder than usual or have you found time for creative projects and movie watching? Do tell!
