Helen is a lovely person I am yet to meet in person .... her husband is fighting a great big battle at the moment and so I was so touched that she had time to make me this lovely hexagon mug rug.... it is the perfect size for next to my computer... thanks so much Helen and all the very best to you and your husband...
Melody has been ill over Christmas ... lots of love to you and thank you so much for this awesome wool pincushion and special bow pins....
(filled with crushed walnut shells and she said you get it from the pet shops... great tip!!)
... this picture is not the best but another hand made.. this time by widget... a cute little tea light candle glass....
A quick how to... demonstrated by widget....
Add some plain white icing to the top of a biscuit....
... press on a marshmallow....
... ask Nana (or someone more sensible) to microwave for a few seconds ...
(10 seconds is too much!!)
.. then add some little chocolate eyes.... and nose....
... and we have melted snowmen.....
.... well... we live in Queensland so they get very melted!! ....
(in fact snowmens don't live here at all but that is beside the point... I still like them!)
(in fact snowmens don't live here at all but that is beside the point... I still like them!)
