I've just started using (sparingly) a glue pen for basting, I find it much more manageable than the glue stick I initially used and it lasts a long time (and you can buy refills).Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646503608965156818.post-66119993764506482312013-07-12T14:38:04.319+12:002013-07-12T14:38:04.319+12:00I really do like the doll babies, but those circus...I really do like the doll babies, but those circus diamonds are loads of cute, too!
