By the way how did the final fondant fancy cake turn out? They are brilliant young Froglet - if/when you get time please would you re-post the links for wool and patterns please - I really do fancy a go at this sock making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! It’s a great shame that someone back in the mists of time didn’t know the difference between ‘tapestry’ and ‘embroidery’ 🤭😕🙄😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
