On white sandy beaches we will play!
In swimwear I’ve made,
From swanky lycra, fair trade

When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
I have back and front butts…
Luckily pink tracksuit Wednesdays are “fetch!”

But lately I’ve been on the go
‘Cause we’re building a house
And I just saw a mouse

(I wish the the last line was just for laughs… off to find the mousetraps)
Ooops, messed up my login!

Thought you girls might be interested, your spotlights might have them as well 🙂

Good luck with the clearance table girls! Hope it has some gems for you with 25% off the marked down price 🙂

You legend. That is exactly what I was thinking of!! Thank you thank you for finding it. And big thanks to all you ladies for looking for me. I am so pleased I am not going mad (well maybe just a little mad 🙂
I am going to bookmark all those pages you ladies left for me. They are most useful. Thank you so much!

Perhaps it wasn’t the birthday dress but another one. I used to have quite a good memory before children….

I have some faint memory of the blog post…

Ahh, it’s all sewn in now, but would love to find it again for next time!

I think the page I’m thinking of was actually on the O + S blog though… It was a pictorial version of how to attach the hem facing (or something like that)? It was somehow related to the puppet show hem facing, which I think is attached in a similar way?

Was there a post…[Read more]
