I’m having a laugh at the “below 18”, I don’t think we had one day this week where the maximum was 15 let alone 18 🙂 (temperature conversion for USA 18C=64.4F 15C=59F)
I’ve been working on the WIP box again today. I finished one pair of PJ pants, 3 shirred dolls skirts and one dress up cape. I also discovered the second box is at least half…[Read more]
