I need a countdown calendar, but I suppose more than that, I need something fun to count down for. <br />Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218727738029858422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007848672438884658.post-42146203155952870672016-02-04T17:42:14.989+01:002016-02-04T17:42:14.989+01:00Great to see you here Kass.

Yes, I was thinking I should get in touch just in case we can rustle up some of "the girls" for when I'm over; at least we could meet for a drink in a country pub if not for a full-blown lunch.

Your days out mirror many happy memories with my two sons and I'm sitting smiling as I read your blog. <br /><br />Good luck with the dress, I adore the glamour of those 50's dresses, but am simply not that shape. Corset or not, I'd wouldn't reach those proportions without displacing vital organs. <br /><br />I look forward to the next instalment and perhaps a cuppa at the Funky Mackeral in March ?

Usually the warning would ...Hi Suzanne, god I know. Usually the warning would be "DON'T TOUCH THE TREE", in the hope of keeping it from shedding everywhere - but needles would scatter like dandruff despite all attempts to the contrary. But not with this old darling; it's so weird - but great, I try to prise them off, BUT I CAN'T :D<br />Ah, the dress. I keep wondering about that. It's true womens body shapes have changed (and this is a Size 18, Bust 36", so a modern size 14, which adds to the confusion), but I'm not going to kid myself that the waist will fit just because the bust does. I'm sewing at the moment almost exclusively for what the process can teach me rather than for the finished article, but I'd still want it to be as successful as possible. I really was thinking of making a corset belt just for the hell of it, so to be on the safe side I'll only start on the dress once that's done.<br />baci Sxx<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13330692040971144481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007848672438884658.post-63284530592978428112016-02-03T16:25:32.662+01:002016-02-03T16:25:32.662+01:00That is one serious miracle tree! Every year when ...That is one serious miracle tree! Every year when we had trees the needles would start falling off as soon as we brought the tree in the house. In fact, you could usually follow a trail of needles from the car inside the house. <br /><br />My husband's family is all in France and they also do the creche. <br /><br />I cannot wait to see your new dress once sewn! What did they have? 18" waists?<br /><br />I love that your son drew you in his picture with your red hair. <br /><br />bisous<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.com
