Altho I have used a star, on occasion. Can't look too perfect, or people would think everything's been made in some factory in China. That's what I think.

This quote has been well utilised by the staff ever since and proven very handy to get out of some 'leaf over the nose' situtations since. Remember - the nose isn't a fault - the leaf is a feature!<br />(Not so anonymous - your sister!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-8791131658766482012010-09-14T22:45:40.370+10:002010-09-14T22:45:40.370+10:00All the time... except I'm so good at kidding ...All the time... except I'm so good at kidding myself that I don't even think of it as a cover-up rather destiny or the way it was meant to be! <br /><br />I like your possum drawing.

Out came the ribbon box and I just sewed some on to cover it up. There was no way I was going to undo a perfectly good seam!<br /><br />I love the leaf over the nose cover up.
