Made this shelf. Have all these bits left over. Don’t know what they’re for.

Just got a not-rejection with amazingly comprehensive feedback, saying they would consider a reworked version of my MS, AND they would like to consider any other MS I have! What a way to start the year! 🤩

I’d been wondering why these peaches were so small, until my husband mentioned that he’d bought apricots this week 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sometimes it feels like everything is against you.

Other times you don’t water the garden for two days and then you get gastro and then your husband goes to Australia for work and you assume that your garden is going to die but then it rains and rains and you realise that yes, there must be a God.
