Latest project, a present for a wonderful friend. I've decided if I'm going to be doing projects this big then I'll need to invest in a heat press of some sort, for my own sanity!!

First day of Year 1 vs First day of Reception 💕 I didn't think she'd changed and grown up so much, but this picture shows a different story. She's lost her baby face, and grown a good few inches too. She's also developed a fair bit of a teenagers att… https://t.co/yZyjavIbJm

I know I shared this on my stories the other day, but wanted to share it on here so that I always have this reminder of how much my little girly has grown over her first year of school. She missed a couple of months of it due to Lockdown 3, and really st… https://t.co/jUl15dZWQf

Proud Mum Alert!
