Monet Minis, Water Lily Mittens

Hot Water Bottle Cover
Our house is old and over the years it’s been pulled about, the floors have been taken up and the windows were replaced when a neighbouring house was bombed and now nothing fits. With the wind in the right direction the curtains can move in the draught let in by the closed windows, there is
