I can't remember why I know, but it definitely has to do with an O level in needlework!! I love it's effect on the velvet and lace.Julia Dunnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164574850662878118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698455695833611307.post-17446316357395281542014-02-27T23:30:08.954+00:002014-02-27T23:30:08.954+00:00Hi Diana

There's so much you can do with it.<br /><br />Thanks for your visit and your lovely comment. I am hoping to get the sewing machine going soon, and get some teabags stitched together, and then add some embroidery/painting, etc. Meanwhile, I am spending most of the time on the recliner watching TV and Youtube - my throad infection is simply awful and I'm coughing fit to bust, which is totally exhausting. At least I've got little Beatrice (complete with dress!) to keep me warm and comfy! She's not 100% and we are hoping the antibiotics will kick in soon, and that the vet can then deal with her kidney problem. The wound from her operation is healing slowly, and she is a lot more lively than she was (getting naughty again!).<br /><br />Have a great week.
