    Thank you for the kind comments about my parchment work. I have only just restarted as I had been suffering from carple tunnel, but as that seems OK I can make more parchment projects.
    I love your blog. Your tutorials are brilliant and I love the pics of your daughter. So nice to have one still young enough to enjoy crafting with you. Mine daughter is 26 and away from home.
