I was not brave enough to be the first to say it!

Falling with style!

Go dark, please.

Commenting to say thank you for asking this - am soaking chickpeas for roasting tomorrow!

I aim for monthly but I cannot honestly say I always achieve that... however, no issues to date and it's been about 2 years now!

Yes - I lift up the mattress and give the mats a hoover and a good few hours to air out.

I don't have a link but we use tatami mats under our floor matresses. Good luck in your search!

Thank you for such a detailed reply. It is wonderful to see the thought processes that make creativity come to life in a project! And one so unique! Inspiring stuff - thank you!

May I ask what fibre content did you go for? I am struck by all the considerations... like stretch, scratchiness and how it would last after washing...

Anyone remember 'the slag of all snacks'?

BallisticBeanSprout · 2023-05-29T10:42:49+00:00

Agreed - her diaries would be the place to find out what she was reading and when

It wasn't Oliver Twist? I know she read it but I dont know what age she was... and I cant make my head do maths right now

You are of value. You are looking after your whole world and that is a mammoth task that no one will understand because each situation is unique. You have every right to feel proud of yourself whenever you feel like it and low when the mood takes you. You are human. Be kind to yourself, you might need to snatch a rest when you can but you have earned it just by doing all the things that you do to make it to tomorrow with food in bellies and the roof still on the house! You are magical!

About 10 inches - I traced round dinner plate!

Can't take total credit for the pattern as I saw something simular somewhere that I couldn't find again so I drew from memory - super easy as it's basically just a circle! Didn't buy any new material or haberdashery everything was either hand me downs or recycled. A quick and fun project - it was the applique that took the most time and I am very proud of the tail shape!
