    aaaaawww cuddles those bags are fantastic.

    When my baby bro had cancer ( he was 3 the first cancer he had) he had a horrid wiggy bag. but it was a donated one and tbh i think it was prob the last thing on his mind. but if he had been given a thomas one or something i could of imagined how his face would of lit up.

    What a wonderful gesture.

    hugs hun - that must have been absolutely awful ... oxo

    I've made another two patchwork cushions for the sofa. And ran out of material again,lol. I'm really surprised how quick patchwork is to do. i made the two cushions in just over 1hr. Makes my sofa look even moe snuggly and cosy. need to order more material from ebay tho. not sure why but i think i may have an addiction to cushion making coming along.

    the backs of them are just a plain deep purple. I figured i could make more cushions by doing this from one pack of patchwork squares.
