It sits languishing in bag with other WIPs awaiting their completion.<br />I think it would take 2-3 cones of Hoopla to get something of a reasonable size, but I'm not too sure.<br />So sorry I can't help you further and good luck with yours. Do let me know how you get on.<br />XxAnnaboo's Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114896681029080504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695531099646846114.post-19828005316527161142012-02-21T21:41:45.630+00:002012-02-21T21:41:45.630+00:00Hi there.
