A couple of weeks ago I spent a beautiful sunny day at ZSL London Zoo on a special Keeper for a Day experience. I had such a great time and I really wanted to share some pics. I got to London Zoo early in the morning and met the other members of our group. There…
Win an Advent Calendar fabric panel from elephant in my handbag
I love this time of year so much. I got an early start of my festive making with a sew your own Advent Calendar fabric panel from elephant in my handbag.
