A Random Harvest 
If I was planning on making a lovely straight legged pair of pants. Steve would leave home! I yell enough over crochet… 😉
Sending you calm and laid-back waves of energy 😉
Try it like this: one day – cut out pieces (take one day per piece if needed) 😉
Another day – pin together. Drink something calming.
Wait a week or two.
Sew ONE seam. Take Earl for an extra-ling walk.
Repeat thd last two as needed.
Someday – do one finishing detail. Follow with a long dog walk AND a calming drink (no, not in the pub! Really!!)
Repeat until done.
Wear pants with pride!! ;-P
