I love the little bird and I am sure you will find a goood use for those sweet buttons. The jacket you knitted for your daughter is really gorgeous, so textured. Thankyou for visiting me, so sorry I am only getting back to you now. I am glad you had a bit of a laugh at the funny photos. I have been catching up with your earlier posts that I missed. Daisy's quilt is so special, she obviously thought so too! I love the cushion with the flowers attached, the 3d effect is really charming. Dolly is lovely too. I look forward to seeing what she's going to model. So sad about the Elizabeth Bradley shop. Enjoy your knitting this week. Oh and I forgot to say the breakfast set is really cute too.
