Good morning! 35 years ago today my poor mother and father were lumbered with a baby daughter who was bald until she was 2 and wouldn't go anywhere without her red wellies on. I have hair these days and I've abandonned the wellies, but I do love my red trainers...
On a totally unrelated note, I made some key fobs. I roughly used the measurements from this tutorial at Prudent Baby.
I remember seeing them everywhere a year or so ago but I could never track down the hardware. Maybe I wasn't searching for the right word, or maybe it's a prohibited product in the UK, but I eventually bought some from Hong Kong, or maybe America. It was a while ago and I've completely forgotten! I also bought the twill tape stuff. It's 1 1/4 " thick, and I used 10" lengths, folded in half. It makes it pretty big, but I suppose it has to be to get your hand through.
The ribbons I've used are all ones I've stashed over the years for whatever reason. I bought the Union Flag one as I just had to have it, ditto the bunnies. I bought the pig one as I knew my mum would like it. I gave her one of the pig key fobs below and she loves it, even though it's almost as big as her.
I think someone sent me this chicky ribbon, perhaps as part of a giveaway win. I can't remember who and I'm too lazy to go back and look. My old posts are so badly tagged I struggle to find stuff. I have been doing a bit of tag tidying, but at nearly 500 posts (I know! Someone shut me up), I've still got a way to go. And I'd forgotten about it until I just mentioned it.
The rabbit one is for me. But you guessed that, didn't you?
