Doing my first in person Labia Lessons since before lockdown and it was so lovely!

A brief walk around the White Cube. Such a beautiful gallery.

Having just the right amount of fabric for the dress.

Going back to sleep after James left.

Such cheap material!

The sunlight (finally) in the evening.

Seeing Jonny down in South London and it being a really nice afternoon together.

Arriving back in time to buy fabric for my new trousers.

James came over for sex and cuddles. And he bought grapes.

Lunch with Jo at Big Jo.

Going into the fabric shop again. I got to touch fabrics!

Sewing Bee with biscuits and Jonny.

Jana’s fabric arrived, and in such beautiful packaging!

A walk immediately after work, managing to catch the last of the daylight. And walk along the quietest parkland walk I’ve ever seen.

Yoga nidra. Instead of TV.

A long walk on the heath with very changeable weather.

Tiny dogs with teeny legs.

Organising my fabric and folding and stacking it all neatly.

The smell of clean bedsheets.

Lying in the sun in the park again.

The beautiful fabric of Jo’s dungarees.

Happy potato.

Next batch of fabric arrived!

Baked what looks like a successful carrot cake! Honestly, non-vegan baking is so much easier.

Foot peel mask with Sean, but remotely.

Also Asian Wang lols with my brother.

Lying in the park under the sunny leaves with my cousin, eating blueberries.

Accidentally looking up cheap homes in Falmouth and dreaming about moving down there and spending my life making stuff.

Ordering a whole load of fabric for more sewing. Including some trousers for me.

New sewing machine!

The dungaree fabric finally arrived!

A run with no distractions. No headphones. No phones. No times. No distances. Just running where I wanted for as long as I wanted.

Yoga with Adriene. Neck stretches after sewing.

My beautiful presents, wrapped with Christmas fabric.

Making the sleeve bag for mum’s birthday presents.

Bright yellow leaves. With little dogs sniffing around in them.

Yellow pillowcases, being dyed in my sink.

Pillows of cut offs and bits of felt from the vulvas. A mini (slow) production line.

Following a cute dog to work.

Buying all the rainbow fabrics for Freddie’s present and starting my leaf piece.

Malt loaf. It’s so damn good.

My future, following that goose.

The beautiful sewing shop with ALL THE THINGS. Including fabric with bears on.

Standing by the tube connecting door and feeling the air rushing by and blowing my hair around.

A happy turnip

Taking the packing peanuts to the school next door

Buying heaps of fabric. Again.

Third date. A boring talk, lots of kissing and a sleepover.

Another Roger salad for breakfast

He text me first!

Learning how to weave. I absolutely loved it

Finally going into the fabric shop. It’s got some utterly beautiful material in. Can’t believe I haven’t been before.

Discovering a beautiful flat that we can afford. And we’re visiting it tomorrow!

Drinks with Jonny. Planning our new lives in the flat!

Going to a huge Mitre10 Mega and buying some black and white vinyl tiles for our van kitchen. After a day of rain when we wanted to be outside cutting and doing, it was a happy moment.
The lovely woman at the Fabric Store who found a new roll of the (super cheap) fabric I was looking for. Thank you lovely lady.

Haircut. At a fraction of the usual price.
The Welsh landlord from the Welsh pub recognised me on the street and said hello. I’ve only been into the pub three times.
I bought even more fabric. Whoops. And then spent the afternoon sewing. I made another T-shirt and turned a big top into a vest.

Putting up Christmas decorations at work for our mid-winter Christmas. Festive songs on loud, mini mince pies still warm from the oven and lots of tinsel. What could be better!
Walking around a beautiful fabric store, stroking all the gorgeous materials and dreaming about what I’m going to make.
Talking about my mum and realising how similar we are and also just how amazing she is.
