[chickengrandma-2008]

Thank you.:-D  No it wasn't difficult merlin, no tips because it's quite straightforward. The only things I can think of are,

a)If you're going to sew the decorations on remember to do it before you sew the backs on. (I know that's obvious but it's the sort of thing I'd forget about.  It didn't happen on these because I stuck the decorations on.B-))  and

b)  Get your friends to send you the stuff to make them with!:^O

I can't keep the banner stmichael as I promised I'd make something for my granddaughter next time she comes to visit, and this is it.  I don't think you can see it on the picture but it's got her name on.:-D

There's another one merlin.

c) If you're going to put their name on it, don't make one for C H R I S T I N E  E L I Z A B E T H  !!! :^O

[chickengrandma-2008]

You certainly have an American theme going on in your kitchen don't you merlin, I can just see you in your cheer-leaders costume, waving your pompoms!:O

Are these for your new sofa?  They look so comfy you'll you'll have a job getting off them and doing your housework!:^O
