Peeling a big orange and squirted juice right into my eye
Me too. It’s from East, but it is really old, maybe 10 years or more

Years ago, when I first tried drawing my clothes, I used a much taller and thinner template. I don’t use a template nowadays, but I do take reference photos, which give a better idea of how the clothes look on a real body
I am starting to really need more colour in my life, so #TodayImWearing a yellow dress. This is really old, and I love it. It is quite a heavy gingham, with a velvet ribbon trim. When it’s chilly, I wear it with a cardigan I knitted myself

This is fun
Jam, absolutely. Buttercream can be troublesome if you’re not practiced at making/using it. I’d play safe for the birthday, and get some practice in before the next “occasion”
Just started this. Hoping to finish by the end of the week. 500 odd pages though, and so many Russian names
I love them
They’re universally awful, aren’t they?
It's Mothering Sunday in a week's time! If your mother's no longer around it can be hard. I will as usual be reading out the names of our Remembered Mums/Mams/Moms from halfway up this beauty - the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. If you'd like me to read out your Mum's name, reply with #Mums26 ❤️ 👑
#Mums26
Please include my late mum, Ellen Tucker.
Thank you so much for doing this every year.
#TodayImWearing the same black denim skirt as yesterday, with a black tee and my Greek Mythology cardigan, which has the original Athena button, not the newer version Hades have introduced

Don’t know who this chap is. Possibly a pope, judging by the triple crown, and the fact that he’s guarding a Roman Catholic cathedral door

#TodayImWearing a cardigan I bought last summer but left languishing in the wardrobe. Also wearing my black denim maxi skirt
Dogs make you go outside
Watching the one-hit wonders show on the BBC, and feeling bemused by the inclusion of Liza Minnelli, James Taylor and the mighty Joni Mitchell
I agree with this, and the play with Ben Wishaw was an excellent adaptation of it
