these bloomin tablets are keeping me awake. I am sure I didn't have these side effects last time round. but I printed my first batch of baby tee's today and learned: I need a proper table asap I need on of those clamp things to hold the screen and stretch the t Katherine doesn't like the sound of a screen being washed with a pressure hose! But she did point to one of the screens and said 'key' (part of the design is an old victorian key). She's a clever lil chook. Tomorrow we are going to a… Continue

Yay!
