I found a treasure
On Wednesday between dropping A off at preschool and a playgroup excursion to the farmyard nursery H and I had a bit of time to fill. As we were going to Mugga Lane anyway I thought we would visit Tiny's Green shed and have a look around (this is our local rubbish tip recycling centre). Not that I was looking for anything in particular but on the way out I spotted a treasure.

I am not sure if this will be used for a sewing box yet given the ages of my children and the fact that H seems to think it is a seat, but it would make a pretty good Lego storage box don't you think? Hmmm I wonder what else . . .

Hi Ronnie, that looks very familiar ... ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt will make a great box for the LEGO indeed !
(love your dyeing experiment)
Oh, I have one of these (but a bit smaller) and it's utterly decrepit but I love it. It's stuffed full of my sewing things, but the poor old box keeps falling apart. I've put it all back together once, but I think it's time for a new sewing box :-(
