A Harvest Widow...........................................................

Well the wheat is under way!!
For the past 5 years I have been a lorry drivers wife,
before that I was a harvest widow.
It's long hours but hopefully we will manage to save
some money for that newer car.
I have to say it's been a rude awakening, 
followed by dull realisation.
My mind had dimmed my memory of it all.
It takes me a few weeks to get into the swing of things
but I am sure I will get used to it soon.

It has meant that I went clothes shopping last week
Am I terrible, his first bit of extra, went on clothes for me.
In my defence I have not bought any clothes in a year and
the last thing was a pair of shoes.
As a mum on very little funds I always made sure 
my daughter had new things and some how you just get
out of the habit of buying for yourself...............
.....................I bet you are the same??
Here is what I bought............
and I got myself some black linen off ebay to make a skirt
I have to admit I am a bit of a haphazzard
seamstress but the result is not half bad,
even if I say so myself LOLOL
 Here is my pattern, bit basic but it works for me

 

 and here is the finished skirt


I have to say it took me
alot longer than I thought it would
(most of the weekend, LOL)


Beary hugs for now
