I have always liked the Welsh or Scottish aprons and tee-shirts showing dozens of white sheep and one black sheep. Today I looked closely for the first time and realised that the white sheep on the right is looking suspiciously sideways at the oblivious, unconcerned black sheep. Red apron with white sheep and one black sheep. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. This came from Ulster Weavers many moons ago. You can buy woolly winter jumpers with sheep designs showing multiple sheep. My second apron features cats.  All colours of cats, black. Four black, one white. Nine grey, some plain and others partly white. Six deep orange. Nine pale orange. I never looked closely before. Now I see so much more. One cat has turned its back. Refusing to be photographed or painted? Maybe it is looking for its kitten. The matching kitten is hiding, or hidden, the other side of the grey cat to the left. Look again and you see that some cats have a kitten sitting alongside. Some kittens are the same ...

 I bought a large dolls' house from St Luke's hospice charity shop. Empty dolls house. Furnished dolls' house, by Angela Lansbury. Later, I was give a small one by a neighbour who advertised it going free. The message popped up on the road's WhatsApp group.  I wanted it for my grand-daughter. She comes to visit frequently. If she likes something, she might want to take it to her home. I though I had nothing to furnish it. The videos on You Tube showed how several hours work with glue guns and lathes and paints could produce top quality miniatures. I wanted something ready in an hour for her visit. No messy glue. No skill. No equipment. Quick and easy. This is what I found. 1 Tiny cloth samples of curtain material and material for blinds made little rugs. Or bedspreads. Or curtains. (If you have time, or come back to improve it another day, us a toothpick as curtain rail. But I would cut off the points for safety. Paint the toothpick curtain rail with silver or gold or w...

 I love the red. I love my purchase. I admit it doesn't really give me a lot of uplift. When It arrived, I thought, this is a larger size girth, but not a bigger cup. So my breasts push together and create a cleavage. However, it feels very comfortable.  It fulfils three functions. Firstly, no painful straps on my shoulders.  Secondly, no bra straps showing outside the vest and top. Nor slipping off.  Thirdly, time saving. No deciding which colour bra goes with which vest. Only one garment, not two. It comes down to the top of my legs. Could hide my floppy tunny from pregnancy years ago and being overweight. If it stayed down and did not ride up.  How to secure it? I tried wearing it under a half slip, over a half slip, and under high knickers. The same seller has black white and various colours. Another seller offered wine colour. You can get them a pounds or two cheaper from another supplier if you don't mind a spaghetti strap. Please share links to your favou...

 I bought this through E-bay. What is not apparent in my picture and was not apparent to me from the picture on the website is that the flower has a faint painted teal or dark turquoise background with a scattering of embossed glinting small silver circles. Accessories - Shoes Brand Sport I had thought of wearing white shoes to co-ordinate with the dress. But bright whites make other whites look dirty. If you can get the right match, that looks clean and summery for summer. I am wearing pink synthetic, wide-tied clogs, a bit like Crocs, brand name Sport, in size 38. They have a band which goes forward, for easy access and makes them full size. When the band is pulled backwards the footwear is slightly smaller and fits more securely, with your feet not slipping about. Socks Or Insoles?  I could wear them with socks. On this occasion, I dressed in a hurry to go out, so I am wearing them with fabric insoles.The insoles fit securely, unlike in normal flat sandals, because the Spor...

I found an old ring which was tarnished. I wondered what kind of paint I could use on metal which would not be dangerous against my skin. I was in the bathroom and glanced around. Nail varnish. That must be safer on skin than other paints. My first coat of nail varnish created a dark, browny red.  But I added a second coat of nail varnish, the effect was bright red. https://nailicy.com/article/how-to-paint-rings-with-clear-nail-polish
