    We paid £30 for a full set to be made up, we supplied the material. Posted it to someone on eBay from Lincoln and she sent them back finished. :) Before you ask I've looked and can't find her now!

    Tuesday wildchild I'm a circle!

    Mrs TW made Ruby's after seeing how dear they were on ebay. But found one that had the sizes listed so didn't have to measure, that saved a bit of time.
