The "two socks on one needle" photo is a hoot - I would never have thought that was the way sockies could be stitched, lol. Yours are lovely - I too go to bed with socks on (although mine certainly aren't as STYLIN as yours!) and then kick them off at some point during the night. I do that too, with the electric mattress pad - when I get into bed it's nice and toasty, but at some point during the night I turn that sucker off because it's way too hot (and I always use the lowest level, lol). Would it be a surprise if I said the zippers were my favourite of all the pics?

Thanks for sharing x I love your ceiling my boys would have loved it when they were young. I did something with glow in the dark paint and alien faces for them and must admit at times it was a bit spooky, a galaxy would have been more relaxing in hindsight.<br />Good luck in all you do, thanks again for your interesting posts.
