ALL things loud and hideous, I haven't made the lot. π But you can certainly blame me for this one. π
My new pillowslip. Feel free to gasp in astonishment at just how *beep* ugly it is.
Photo one: The newly stitched pillowslip, fugly side out.
Photo two: The newly stitched pillowslip, fugly side in.
Photo three: Fugly pillowslip stuffed.
Photo four: Tah-dahh!!!!!!!! Covered with a pillowcase, so no-one's any the wiser.
Photos five & six: The ugly, smelly, mouldy truth of JUST why I had to make a pillowslip out of such fugly material in the first place. WASH your pillowslips, people, then you won't have to do the same. I can now say I have learned the importance of doing so. π
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnβt have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
