Great to see your awesome website, it is incredible to see your creativity displayed in this professional way. I'm so proud of how you just keep on producing, even when in pain...not to mention admire with jealousy. Hi Claire,

Thanks for your comment on my blog - how funny that we recognise each other by such little words :-) Yesterday I talked "handbags" with a woman in the USA - I'm sure she'll wonder - and just this morning I commented on someone's "biscuits" - well she'll think I'm a nong because clearly she didn't make "scones"! When your blog came up and I saw those matching pegs - I laughed out loud! I cannot bear to hang the washing up with mis-matched pegs - when I hung out my nanny's washing last week, she and grandad just stood and shook their heads in dismay as I hunted about to match the pegs! The things we do! Birthday presents for 6 year old boys - I've had success with Papo figures - knights, pirates, etc. and you can buy three for the price of a book - and I make a little draw string bag to keep them in - just a paper bag top with an open side seam. If I *really* like the child, I have made patchwork cushions with a felt applique - pirate face or fire breathing dragon - in appropriately *boyish* fabric with their name embroidered on it to put on their bed - this has worked well when the child has had an unusually spelled name and can therefore not find anything personalised. Good luck! And glad your little one survived his trampoline collision relatively unscathed! Hi Claire!
