a sh*tty morning

modflowers: vintage fabric patchwork piecesExcuse my language, but there’s not really any more fitting way of putting it.

Yesterday, I literally had a shitty morning.

The downstairs toilet leaked the contents of it’s macerator – everywhere.

After popping out for some heavy duty rubber gloves, I spent much of my morning mopping up the ensuing mess. It was not pleasant.

My afternoon was much nicer though…

After his departure there was just enough time to cut and iron these patchwork squares ready for a swapsie with Julie of Vintage Attitude, before lad needed feeding.

It’s a bit kitsch-tastic. I can’t wait to see it in the flesh!

And a dose of lovely vintage fabrics was just what I needed, to flush the morning’s revolting activities right out of my mind.♥

    • Dunny-diving! Urghhh! Glad no diving was involved! The worst part was clearing out the over-stuffed cupboard behind the loo where all the workings are concealed – fishing tins of paint, soggy cardboard boxes, garden toys and bottles of wine out of raw sewage was not nice!

    • Mmmm, sticky buns… I think you’re right. I’m still washing my hands VERY frequently before I eat at the moment – I think I’m becoming germ-phobic!
      I bought the pansy print in an op shop in Australia, by the way!
