The right size for the right quality.
Months ago I bought a tin of Quality Street chocolates.
a) because I liked the colour and unusual shape to the tin
b) because I hadn't had them in over ten years
c) Alaskaboy and Kiddlywink had never had them
d) It was Easter
e) There was a LOT of us to share that big arse tin of chocolates.
f) I had a vague idea the tin might be useful for storage
After we enjoyed the contents, the tin sat around cluttering up our
bedroom. For awhile now I've had the notion I'd like to use it for a
jewellery box. The one I've had since I was twelve, while beautiful,
doesn't hold all of my jewellery anymore. But then we realised how
little money we had so I put the idea on hold.
Until today.
Spring has well and truly sprung thus I no longer need my extra fleecy tracksuit pants.
I really don't want them either because they're now too big to comfortably wear.
I held them in my hand and debated putting them in the donation bag. I
held them awhile longer and considered the cost of a sheet of felt large
enough to suit my crafting purposes, and just how soft and fleecy these
pants were, in fact.
The penny dropped.
A big arse tin of chocolates needed a big arse pair of pants to cushion the inside.
(It's not quite finished yet, but I'm letting it percolate through the ol' brain tissue just how I wanna do the inside walls.)
