Following on from yesterday's post, and given that it is Tuesday...
The scraps, and the pattern piece for the self fabric belt for yesterday's dress has been sitting on top of my sewing machine since last May...
My engagement with Messy Tuesday (which is meant to be a reaction against the excess of the unattainably perfect in domestic blogs by being open about the grubby, ugly, mess which is often just out of shot) has so far been somewhat cheaty. I want to boldy embrace the concept, but I take huge pleasure in pretending to live in beauty- and I'm unashamedly houseproud- so I found it impossible to photograph my sewing dregs in situ, and felt compelled to put them on a well lit chair. So it goes...
I have also been embracing messy Tuesday through LAUNDRY. Today is the second glorious drying day in a row- a rarity in South East London, which is to be celebrated by load after load of laundry
Thank you Felix and Lara for messing up Tuesdays!
PS- all those lovely socks in the foreground were knit by housemate Alice, and the stripy jumper is this one.

I love Messy Tuesday! What a great idea. I've slacked off on blog pictures and even just photographing my knitting for Ravelry because I can't find an adequately uncluttered surface.
Yay on blogging 2 days in a row!
I love your continuous efforts to embrace Messy Tuesdays more fully into your life! and although you did aestheticise the sewing dregs by making sure you photographed them in good lighting, I am very proud that you admit they have been sitting about since last May.
Hurrah for Messy Tuesays!
Thank you for declaring Messy Tuesday! I've been unable to put it into words but I'm so bothered by the beautiful perfection that is staged. Staged! It's not real. Honestly I like reality and the beauty that comes with it. Thank you!
