It's not that Im not motivated - sort of - because I get all excited when I see other blogger's fantastic efforts. I have had a small thing in mind and its such a small thing that you think I would just whip it up and stop whinging about it. But I agonise over colour choice and can I be bothered to move my sewing machine over a couple of inches so I can use it. And what I want to make isn't even that important.
Excuses. And enough of them!
So I decided I had to end my sewing drought and get on with it. So I made this...
It took me minutes really, so I really don't know what all the procrastinating was all about?
It comes in very handy actually on several levels. We presently have this stainless steel loo roll holder which nobody really bothers to put the lid on, and is looking a bit dodgy now . Besides I don't actually like things like that on the floor, especially when some of the smaller male inhabitants tend to have "aim issues"! Also we have always had this plastic hook on the back of the door, which when the house was renovated the painters just sort of painted over, so it's now kind of really stuck there. And after someone somehow broke the door stopper off the skirting board I have a certain amount of angst over the door handle going through the wall. So its official title is "Toilet Roll Holder, come Door Stopper, come Something to Hang on That Annoying Hook on the Back of The Door Thing".

Nicely done Liz. Not only does it look good but it's practical. Now you just have to train them to put the empty roll in the rubbish.
PS Having trouble leaving you a comment under Open ID - problem sure to be a my end. Hence the new name..
I love it! I remember making those when I was a teenager and now that I'm old, I think I need to revisit the wonder of the toilet roll holder! After all, if it's good enough for a house that's been in a magazine then it's good enough for mine!
Hey - those are handy!!! Sweet.
