Gee, I really don’t have that “writer’s knack”, do I!  My titles are so unimaginative.  I just tell it like it is.  So many blogs are well-written and clever in ways that express the writer’s personality and make me smile.  Mine – well, it’s pure show and tell!  Pretty much expresses my personality too, I suppose – straightforward and factual.

It’s made from Anchor Magicline cotton, which handily stripes itself as you work.  The back is very strappy and bare.

And I agree with Donna – very cute on a five year old, but no way when she’s fifteen!  Here’s a closer photo of the front.

I made this in less than 24 hours – and that did include time to sleep, eat and tend to children!  Mind you, my mother did pretty much every other task that needed doing … thanks Mum!
