‘Handed to resident…’
Rocking it up with orange shoes!
I bought this GORGEOUS green linen dress in a market in France - loved it - but the buttons looked a bit cheap and kept falling off so I sewed on new ones!! First sewing I’ve done since I was at school. Very proud of myself - even sewed the original buttons on the back to make them more sturdy. @ashleyycramp I hope you’re impressed! 😂😂
Dog trying to stay cool
Recording the audio book of Frieda - why the hell did I put in so many words I can’t pronounce? And why did I have a French woman, and an old witch whose voice ‘carries the shadow of East European in her vowels’? I’m so stupid. Basically every character except Frieda sounds faintly Scottish. Discovered I still can’t say mandragora either.
How lovely to see this gorgeous pic and lovely review. Thank you @cherrypickerlife ❤️
