Your recreations of 1940's jumpers are really great. It's amazing how "modern" they look - still relevant after some 70 years. But what really caught my eye, was the cake you made for your nine year old daughter, which was just spectacular!!! I, too, love polar bears and seals and penguins. I really can't praise it highly enough. Indeed, you are a very talented and creative person!!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-18632147937514810592015-03-13T19:26:37.673-07:002015-03-13T19:26:37.673-07:00The cakes are beautiful - what a way to celebrate!...The cakes are beautiful - what a way to celebrate!

Your anemone brooch looks beautiful; I'd love to add one to my collection one day soon, so I'm off to check out your Etsy. :D <br /><br />Also, I don't know if this is a cheeky request, but that jacket on the front of the Needlework book; I'd love to see that pattern on your blog if you are willing to share it. It looks super cute, and it caught my eye right away! ❤<br /><br />xox,<br />bonita of <a href="http://www.lavenderandtwill.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Lavender & Twill</a><br />Lavender and Twillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331125027969557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-6401860732665927662015-03-02T10:31:36.646-08:002015-03-02T10:31:36.646-08:00Love your blog, its so friendly.

I have the RAF badge too, and always assumed there would be an army one, but I've never found one, or a record of one ever existing.

I have the RAF knitted comforts badge and the same knitted garments badge for the Navy as you. but have never seen a badge for the Army. I can't even seem to find any information to say that one ever existed. Can you or any of your readers shed any light?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-89684580131220892732015-03-01T09:57:10.827-08:002015-03-01T09:57:10.827-08:00I'm super impressed with your cake decoarting ...I'm super impressed with your cake decoarting skills, both cakes look simply gorgeous.
