I faffed.

Yep, that's right after a post about not having enough time - what did I do all day?

I faffed ! I spent some quality time looking out the sewing room window watching the across-the-road-cat having a sleep in the weeds. (We grow them specially for the cat to sleep in)

I fiddled with fabric, plugged in the iron, cooked some soup. Spent a lot of time blog reading and Etsying and bought some stuff and looked for more stuff - you know faffing, noodling, fardarckling....... whatever it is called at your place I managed to do it most of the day.

This is as productive as it got today and they are about 2 inches tall. Little friends for

Milly



and Pickle.


The best thing about doing very little is that at least it is easy to improve on - stay tuned!

    I know all about faffing.. I call it slacking usually but I recently learned of "woolgathering" which is perfect for those do nothing days except for knitting.. etc.. :) This was an excellent weekend for relaxing. I'm a huge proponent for mellowing out ;)

    Enjoy your faffing - there is still a lot of school holidays left to faff away! Especially when it brings such great results.
