It was a while ago since I practiced bass, sure I've played a song now and then but not any longer training for a while. Its mostly because we aren't able to have band practice during the summer since we all are at different locations. And it is much more rewarding and fun to play in a group then alone. Either way it was nice to truly dedicate myself to the bass even if it was for just an hour.

Yay! I finally finished the bed set. It was a surprising amount of work. It would probably not taken as long if I had not insisted on haven buttons to close both the pillowcase as well as the case for the cover. Either way it turned out really nice. It feels nice making something useful for someone and not just a nicknack or something. I hope she will be happy about it since I put so much effort in it. At least I have progressed in my sewing and in the future I will also have access to a sewing machine since my mom gave me my grandmothers old sewing machine. It is slightly malfunctioning on some types of cloth but works in general very well. It took me about 2 hours to finish it.

Yes I have taken up sewing again. This time with my mom as a teacher. I am not really great at sewing yet but I am improving and for sort of a summer project I am working on a bed set for a friends birthday. I always work much better when I am giving away something since I get much more inspired and motivated. I also mended a couple of things this week as well as sew on a zipper on a bag that I have had for a while. It always feels like I am conducting a great deed every time I mend something. Not only for myself since I will not have to buy new clothes as often but also because I am not wasting as much resources. In today's society clothes often are made to be cheap and not of very good quality. But if everyone where always mending their clothes maybe people would rethink and make clothes that lasted instead of consuming and consuming... This week I've spend around 3 hours sewing.
