Well I have tried something new over the last couple of days 😊These 2 little girls are now available at my local craft shop, and then will be in my online shop. I really loved making them and perhaps some little girls somewhere will too 💕

MCU movies are built on many things and chemistry is one of them. Distinct lack of Rizz !! Not a flop, far from it, but not magical either.

I have just read this; my first book for 2025. If you are a fan of George Smiley, this is essential reading. The author has captured the mood and atmosphere of his father’s characters beautifully. He does a great job of adding to the story arc without diminishing it in any way.
