Someone said to Alison "Your mother doesn't have very fine hands - how does she do this tiny work" "With a great deal of swearing and cursing" was the reply.....<br /><br />There is indeed hope for everyone who wants to give it a go!Cestinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050699324845479257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-59600964244675007582012-07-17T15:40:42.190+01:002012-07-17T15:40:42.190+01:00If you, who can produce this, have big clumsy fing...If you, who can produce this, have big clumsy fingers, what chance does it give the rest of us!

And thank you for the link to your daughter's blog too, she's clearly cut from the same piece of cloth....Lucy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850436128823815712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-76817559433563971922012-07-15T20:44:06.809+01:002012-07-15T20:44:06.809+01:00I'm sorry abbycat, I'm ploughing my way th...I'm sorry abbycat, I'm ploughing my way through the help section to see if I can work out why you can't sign in with a name again. <br /><br />Glad you like the coffee shop - there'll be a butcher's/fishmonger's along shortly :-)Cestinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050699324845479257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-22901530967821862402012-07-15T19:54:06.146+01:002012-07-15T19:54:06.146+01:00Fantabulous!

I am in awe! Thanks also for the tips about how to make book covers, though finding Victorian ones might be more of a problem. <br /><br />abbycat (None of the options will allow me in, so am having to be anonymous - and yet I managed to post with my name the first time.

Unfortunately one needs to rub quite hard to get a shine. What I really need is the Silver Dip I left with my friend in Germany. Anyway they are safely in the museum now until next year so will have to stay dirty!<br /><br />I'll get a teaspoonful of Silver Dip from her next time I pass through :-)Cestinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050699324845479257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-43051856412099608302012-07-15T10:53:19.793+01:002012-07-15T10:53:19.793+01:00You *might* be able to use blu-tac to hold the tin...You *might* be able to use blu-tac to hold the tiny things in order to clean with the toothpaste ... probably would need to do one side at a time and let that dry?Abbeybufohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943340447141277258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-76715133568673450102012-07-15T08:16:50.868+01:002012-07-15T08:16:50.868+01:00*satisfied sigh**satisfied sigh*Andrea Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017280033696404459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-13810553944138459302012-07-14T22:32:44.000+01:002012-07-14T22:32:44.000+01:00OMG - the tiny kitchen!!!
