But first . . . Bert’s It! Oh my goodness, I have no idea how Bert puts up with Ernie! He wears away at him like a wave on a rock! I notice that there are others out there posting their favourite Jim Henson clips here and here. I am happy that we are spreading [...]

Happy belated Mother’s Day to all, whether you have human or fur kids, or even those you have knitted for yourself. I had a great day and received some lovely gifts including a beautiful white dressing gown that I could not wait to get home to wear today. It’s been a very long and draining [...]

. . . look what I made! Her name is Rose, and I really really like her! When I drag myself away from the computer, I will be sewing the side seams of a jumper for her. These things could be addictive! I have made her a brother of sorts, but I can’t share him [...]
