This year has gone so fast, says everyone over 35. It certainly has. I… Continue reading Bird House Party Favours

Using My Silhouette To Cut Transparencies
Well, I took the plunge a few hours ago and finally used the OHP transparencies I had bought last week.

So I hummed and harred (is that really a word?) for about an hour, loaded the feed with… Continue reading Using My Silhouette To Cut Transparencies

DIY Bed Skirt.
Something that has really annoyed me for the last 20 years or so is that whenever I walk into my room I can see under my bed.
