Jay I have no words of wisdom to add on the whole driving on the other side of the road thing as I have never done it! But I should think it will be a really great experience to be equipped with the knowledge of knowing how!

What do you do regarding obtaining an international driver’s license anyway? My nephew has just told us he applied for and…[Read more]

Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of driving soon. I’m told that it’s the right turns that are trickiest, my friends who made the switch kept hitting the curb at first.

I’ve finished up the first of four gifts, and the next two should be pretty quick sews. I’m doing a lot of swatching for the fourth since I want to incorporate a few different small details I’ve been really liking.

I have an old treadle in my sitting room, I keep a block of wood under the foot pedal to stop the babies pinching their fingers. 🙂

Got to make the 3-6 month size in the lullaby layette asap! Only 8 weeks old and bursting out of them already. Too late! Baby girl is summoning!

No doubt you will settle in very well – especially if you have sewing friends nearby. Or even non sewing ones – amazing how such a skill can network to one’s advantage.

Wow, that is a lot of work but looks amazing! I am sure that would work.

But I am sure the underlining would work really well.
