yesterday's sunshine and laundry motivated me to use the clothesline. i like to use the clothesline as much as possible, but sometimes i simply forget... or don't want to be bothered. yesterday, i didn't mind.
however, as i grabbed the bucket of clothespins that grandma has had forever, it began to crumble in my hand. time for a new clothespin holder.
i looked online, thinking that target or walmart would have some cute solution. nothing. several crafty blogs, however, had all kinds of suggestions. huh, i thought, how hard could it be? often that question gets me in a lot of trouble. this time it worked out ok...
this is one of tucker's old shirts. well, it used to be. now, it's my new clothespin holder. i sewed up the arm holes and the bottom and added a few other strategic stitches. although i was quite proud of myself, i couldn't help but think that the whole process would have gone a lot faster if i had used my sewing machine. that is, if i knew how to use my sewing machine.
but, how hard could it be...
