Morning readers,

I hope your week is coming along well, mine started off with my car going in for service and MOT .. after some confusion it all went ahead on Monday - fortunately the car sailed through the MOT so I'm all sorted for another year - pheww! Be lost without my car these days.

Anyhoo, time for a little crafting to share ...
