sewn leaves and conversations with my brain



conversation with myself

me: right today I have to hoover the house, take books back to the library, drink coffee, sew lavender sachets, dust, clean up the paint mess, sort laundry, do that combined challenge, do a bit of writing.....

my brain: You don't want to do that.. lets make leaves!

me: No I have to sew those lavender sachets, clean the house...

my brain: you don't have any lavender.

me: I can still sew the sachets.

my brain: Nah lets play with that branch in the corner that I made you drag home.

me: I have work to do.

my brain: Lets make leaves or I will play "I kissed a girl" all day on your internal radio..off key with only half the words!

me: you wouldn't

my brain: "I kissed a girl and I liked it...mumble mumble.. cherry chap stick"

me: *facepalm* .... fine.. lets make leaves

my brain: yay!
So I made two leave from some scraps of pale green fabric, and some random red buttons, and sewed them onto a piece of the branch I brought home with me on Saturday. I don't know what I'm going to do with it or if I will sew more leaves, but the idea popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone until I made leaves.
