I thought it had to be sweet. I don’t know too many children that would like soda water.
I used to read about it in Bobbsey Twins books.

Thank you Karen, x

Um, yes (blushes and looks bashful).
Hugo picked it up an auction for me.
It now holds sheep propaganda. Far less exciting.

I love ziplock bags.

I want to copy this, right now!

Great idea, Nicole.

Great idea, Nicole.

Awesome. Can’t believe how fast you’re knocking these out. Thank you!

Out of the mouths of babes!

I have a letter written by my Imogen in year one telling me she likes it when I make her dresses! It is intended for a frame and a great deal of preservation.

We are currently sitting in the doctors surgery waiting for our turn. The appointment was for thirty minutes ago and there are six people in front of us. Its…[Read more]
