  12. Lol, I can imagine the eye rolling if they're anything like my daughter. Thanks for the feedback Erin. Your "Simple Truths" nearly made it into this lot but I decided to take my time with that instead. :)

  13. Great stuff. I'm with Erin on the paisley thing. I've been trying to work up a cane of my own that I'm happy with...I think you might have just inspired me to have another go at it! Everything else is fantastic too! Way to go!

  14. Thank you! The paisley cane was one of the first I made, so not too perfect but good practise. The paisley interest comes from my Mum, who is addicted to anything paisley. I like that they're quite adaptable and very pretty also.
