This sounds like fun, and I need something to get my mojo back. Please could I try both to start with and then make a decision about which to continue?

It was raining quite heavily overnight in Cornwall, well to be honest it was chucking it down! Wind, rain, loads of noise, cold and horrid basically……. I was awake about 4.30, so I truddles off into the front room…

What a beautiful cat! I am so glad he us ok. A point well worth making….£900! I knew there was a reason I keep my cats out if the sewing room. Not to joke though-one of them sits on my footpedal, so they are banned.

Better safe than sorry! I don’t begrudge the money, he’s one of my Baby’s, but it could have been avoided, especially before Christmas. x

Oh Abbie, what beautiful pussycats …I’m so glad he’s okay just goes to show how quickly things like that can happen and thankfully he managed to wake you so you realised quickly. I have 2 labs who although I grudge the ridiculous extortionate insurance every month , one of them is a dustbin and I’ve had several near misses with foreign objects …socks in particular have to be kept well out of reach but we do love them ❤️ Hope puddy cat has an uneventful recovery ❤️

Hi Frances, he’s a very lucky Baby Boy, I’d never have forgiven myself if the worst happened! He’s a sneak, bless him! x

I enjoyed reading this, I can imagine the paper everywhere. I would love to know what IKEA sugar paper is? And Ruby’s and Cream sounds interesting!
-
Thank you! 🙂
KEA sell rolls of sugar paper, which I should imagine are usually used for children to draw all over, they are very long and very reasonably priced!
Ruby’s & Cream will work in any 2 colours that contrast and are quite different from each other……the background blocks will be dark and applique cream……..
