Songs & Lyrics


Romance = *gag* for me [shocking I know], but if Mr Right were to insist on writing me a song, then I'd hope it would go a little something like this.

I can see a lot of life in you. / I can see a lot of bright in you. / And I think the dress looks nice on you. / I can see a lot of life in you.

I can see a bed and make it too. / I can see a fireside turn blue. / And I can see the lot of life in you. / Yes, I can see a lot of life in you.

When the world looks back, / when the face looks after that,/ I can see a lot of life in you. / Yes, I can see a lot of life in you.

I can see a lot of life in you. / I can see your bed and make it too./ And I think the dress looks nice on you. / Yes, I can see a lot of life in you. / I can see a lot of life in you. / Yes, I can see a lot of life in you

Portrait of Clare


My niece drew a picture of me yesterday. I think she's captured my proportions perfectly! Especially the big head.

Step aside Karen Walker



I'm very excited about the arrival of my new sewing machine. My gorgeous sister Julie has kindly lent me hers, and it's a hand-me-down I won't refuse!

I've started a list of things I want to make:


- A hoodie for Wilbur [he's a puppy]

- A flapper dress

- A stuffed toy for my niece
- A birdie mobile for my newest Goddaughter

- Lots and lots of dresses

Eek! I could be the next Chloe... not. But still, it will be fun nonetheless. & results to be posted on this blog.
