Can I interest you in a tattoo?
Can I interest you in a tattoo? Wait! Before you say no (or yes) take a look at these! You’ll find them in the latest issue of Mollie Makes (#10) which arrived at Bunny Hill today!

Do you have projects planned for this weekend? Seems like I’ve been waiting for a “free” weekend and now that it’s here I’m in heaven.
