"the last time I picked up needle and thread I think I was about 14 and my Mother (read incredibly talented seamstress) was trying again to pass on some of her skills to her only daughter. What can I say I was crap or should I say I couldn’t be bothered to sew because it was far too untrendy and I just wanted to practice my Madonna dance routines."

"His holiday hang-up is not being very exiting. He isn't red and lively like a Cardinal or bossy and loud like a Blue Jay, he can't even whistle. So he found himself a nice red scarf and soon will figure out he is a very nice bird just the way he is."
