day four

Friday 11th January 2013
A lovely tie idea but unfortunately the top of the tower is hidden somewhere in the knot



I really think they should make ties in a variety of lengths so people can buy them according to their height ............................

If I had tied it to reveal the whole tower I would have triped over the end!
