I can do that!!”; you had good intentions, maybe even started out doing it but then realised it simply isn’t for you for whatever reason (time, convenience, low priority?) Which OS MSE ideas have you decided are a no-no for you? Which…

I'm thinking of making DS (5) a floppy hat for the summer. Anyone know where I can get a pattern or instructions from? Preferably free of course, or is it too much of a faff and it'd be easier to buy one?

Trouble…

How young is too young to "fly"?
I was just looking at one of the other boards, and one of the threads was "How young is too young to fly". Maybe it's an indication of how close I am to becoming OS that I thought they meant do the housework and tidy up after themselves! Which leads me to think - How young IS too young to fly? At what age should our…

I'm not…
