Birthday and tea cosies! (Födelsedag och tevärmare!)
Hurra för mig, för idag är det min födelsedag! 🙂 Inte den bästa dagen hittills, med föreläsningar hela dagen och genomblöt på vägen hem. Men, nu bäddar jag ner mig i soffan med handarbete, choklad och en bok! Och med datorn såklart – just nu kollar jag in lite tevärmare! *** Horray for me, for…
