Monday Morning, MOT and Making

It's dull and wet here today, with a pretty miserable day forecast weather-wise. It's also the day my car has to face another MOT.......so I can't go far, and probably won't want to anyway! A perfect day to listen to the radio and get on with some making and photo-editing.

Today's making list includes indigo-dyed planner covers, and I'm thinking of doing some passport covers to use up some of the smaller pieces of fabric, and maybe a few more needlecases & pincushions. I won't get them all done today, but I like to have a few ideas in place.

It's a shame it's too wet to get out into the garden, it's in desperate need of a tidy up after the winter, but there are some signs of spring - the daffs are out, the camellia has been flowering for a while now, and birds are hopping around looking for worms - all good signs!

Bad news on the MOT...it failed! New headlight units needed (not a surprise, they're very cloudy and I was warned about them last year); number plate light not working (that's ok); anti-roll bar link, something to do with the suspension (no idea really!); and advised to have 3 new tyres fitted, as they're quite worn. Well, that's a bit more than I'd hoped, but it's an old car and not unexpected. Hopefully, it will keep it on the road for a while longer and - as the man at the garage said - it's cheaper than replacing it!

Back to the 'making' then, and hopefully a few sales to help pay for the car.
