Magic Patch box

Ruby has to wear a patch over her "good" eye, ideally for a few hours a day. This is supposed to help strengthen the bad one, whose vision might have been "switched off" by the tumour getting in the way. Now the tumour has shrunk, there might be room for improvement. However getting her to wear it at all is a real battle of the wills (or is it battle of the Wills? she sure is like her Daddy). So I invented the magic patch box, a little box full of jewellery which she can only play with when patched. 

Sometimes works. Managed about 30mins today.
Love the little Russian doll clips.

Happy New Year


Wishing you all a happy new year. I hope everyone has the best times ahead, especially those of you expecting or having new babies. 

Magic Robot


Here is Will's latest purchase, from the craft show in Cawsand. From the 1950's, you point the robot at a question, then pick him up and put him on another dial and it gives you the answer. Magic!
