Artificial intelligence of the future

I spied this wonderful robot by Roxana and Leo Muir Horne and couldn't resist asking to add him to junkathon.

Junkathon Clothes Mission

I buy clothes from charity shops. The money goes to charity and only by proxy to big companies. I feel less guilty and its cheaper. My mother buys lots of clothes and those she rejects she gives to me. Result, I have lots of clothes. Some of which I don't actually like that much.

So the Junkathon clothes mission is to look at a new stack of clothes every so often and either, re-donate, cut it up for rags, customise it to make it better or keep it.

Thus far I have sown up a top I like but which has a tiny hole, adapted a skirt with a rip into a belt like afair, made a curious hybrid top, changed the buttons on a boring jacket to something more upbeat, at last put a button on the cardigan I knitted and made a dress out of some material I had lying about. More to come. pics so far below.

Latest creations, a pair of leggings and a proper sweat shirt made from bits of offcuts from Halton Play resource centre.

Day 8 Materials

We were slack at the weekend and didn't get around to doing anything with the junk until the Monday, hence the build up. How much milk can one small family drink.
