It’s true that we all do say sorry to the table we bump into. But I was always told never to apologise after an accident because you don’t want to admit fault.

I can never see anything from Instagram here.  Just vast expanses of white space. 

Big love to you Maya xxx

I used to close my living room curtains, but that was coz my house has no gap at all between wall and pavement. I look into everyone else’s living room, coz I’m a nosy bugger. So I shut my own curtains and have voiles over the windows in the day. I hate net curtains as a rule.

The fact that she’s a child with bleached hair upsets me too. There’s nothing wrong with kids playing with their hair colour, but I’m all against permanently dying a kid’s hair.

Adoption stories seem to focus on babies, but in real life, I’ve only ever met people who’ve adopted children, rather than babies.

I have an awful habit of googling before and after cosmetic surgery photos of people I despise. I do it when I’m feeling really arsey. I don’t know why it makes me feel better, but it does.

Well who knew? Every day is a school day! Thanks for translating!

I know you must have posted but kinja doesn’t want me to see it!

Hmm. Now I see a cross pond translation issue.

Hope so. My friend’s wife is a seamstress and has a sewing shop- even does sewing shows on TV- I’m going to see if she will turn the finished piece into a cushion which I can keep forever as a reminder to never buy a tapestry kit again.

No, sorry, that’s not me. And there’s not many flutterbys around! I hope her stuff is good- don’t want the good crafting name sullied!

That’s lovely!

Please do take some photos for next week- sounds brilliant!

I spend far too large a proportion of my salary on the born pretty website... 

He’s an alligator! He’s a mama papa coming for you

This is the last tapestry I’ll ever do. I am NOT enjoying the process! I’ve completed the pink and beige square to the right and quite a lot of the middle square. A few bits of the left hand square.

Have you read The Power?

Love the nails! 6 of mine have broken over the Christmas break- 4 of them right down in the quick. It’s been awful. I hate having short nails. I’m babying them along to encourage them to grow for me so I can make them beautiful again.
