A little hearty wrapper
Me: What do you think of this photo? Is it a keeper? Tree: It shows your face [I’m trying to keep some vague sort of web anonymity] Me: I’m pretty sure if people recognised me it would be because of the full length heart printed dress instead of the slither of forehead… Another post to add to my “Little chronicles of…

So I thought I’d do a quick post of a skirt I made during christmas. Luckily for me, I had Christmas off. Unfortunately, Tree was working nights. And being car-less…

She pretty much ignored me waving my new fangled skirt in her face whilst giving me a stern telling off for ‘not being careful enough’. How many times can I say-it was the wind!!! Sigh. Mums. I say that,…

The little pomegranate Vs The escalator
First off, hello!! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Thanks for the comments, likes and reads- sorry I’ve been away. I’ve been itching to work on new things to add to the blog but alas those horrid things called exams got in the way. Good news is- I don’t have another set of exams til next year! Bad news is-…
