A couple of months ago I signed up for the Hooked on Exchanging Fall Pyn Keepe Exchange. I was so excited to be able to participate after around about a year of not being part of any exchanges. I had chosen not to be involved in previous exchanges because every time I did get involved,… Read More
…where does it go? Today I finally got to spend a couple of hours at my sewing machine, but needed to spend a lot more preparing for work this week. Are we really up to mid October? It seems like only yesterday that I was asked if I would consider taking Year 12 Further Maths… Read More
