At last the patchwork quilt is finished!
Mum’s already asking when I’m going to start on hers and my daughter is constantly wrapped in it, so at least it was worth it.
Feels a bit strange not having anything to do now so maybe I’ll start on Mums in the week (her birthday isnt until July so [...]
Time for an update on the patchwork quilt – its nearly finished!

Well, we’ve talked about our skin and our hands but what about our feet! We never really pay enough attention to our feet and yet they will be carrying us around until the end of our days!

I’ve been thinking about maybe doing something in the way of supporting a charity or doing some sort of fund raising.
While doing some research I have come across a women’s charity www.refuge.org.uk.
