    When you can't curl your hair...

    I am PANTS with hair and I have tennis elbow, but I find the head scarf hair do works very well, as I can rest my arm as required and the pins etc, keeps the hair in place as you go - I can now do this in less than 10 mins.

    Restoration of the "Memphis Belle"

    I was at the 'Military Vehicles and Flying Machines' show at Damyons Hall Aerodrome UK the other weekend and the "Sally B" fly by several times - sent shivers down my spine - so beautiful! (She is lovingly cared for at Duxford UK part of the Imperial War Museum).

    Vintage Vogue 7464 !!

    Oh I feel a bit of a twit as I've found a whole load of info on this hat on: "Making your own vintage inspired hats" which is great (but still not convinced about the back). I have made the view C (the tartan one) which is lovely but may well donate my attempts at view B to my scraps box!! I...
