Jesus, I wish these bots would leave me the feck alone. Offering to show me pictures of their cat. I have one of my own thanks, I can look at that, but to be honest, I'm more of a dog person. 🙃
And you lot that can't be bothered to write a bio, you can do one as well.

Day 1: I made a start on my Welsh dragon. The squares, ergo the stitches, are small compared to the last few kits I've done. It will be slow going, but there's no rush. 🐉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🪡
