Having had Gran Heather make all the bedding and lengthen the curtains for Zara's new room, we thought it only fair to get Grannyannie to sew 100 ladybird buttons onto Zara's mozzi net. I did phone her 2 days before going to Durban to warn her that she had a "mammoth" task ahead of her and got a rather nervous giggle as a response! Having sewn 1 button on, we soon realised that this was not going to work! The buttons were too heavy to be sewn on so in stepped Grandpa. The best plan he could suggest was to glue the buttons to the net. BUT what glue?? Super glue didn't work so whilst Grannyannie cut the loops off the back of the buttons, Zara picked up the bits of plastic and Grandpa and I used the glue gun to glue all the ladybirds to the net. It was all done in much shorter time than I anticipated and the final result is truly too cute for words - now we just need Dad to get the net up over the "big girl bed"...

I'd love a mozzie net like that and, as you, say as a combined effort it all went very fast.
