Seligor's Castle. The home of Seligor, Diddilydeedot, Dodie, and Dr. Do-Diddily and the Dee-Dot's.

Seligor's Castle is where Seligor, Dr. Do-Diddily and the Dee-Dot's,
Diddilydeedot in Dreamland, and Dodie's Dream World all work on their websites.
They are all within the children range, though Dodie's does have a lot more classical stuff on it and the little ones might find it a bit boring.
I have just opened a couple of wee nursery pages though just in case you have one on your knee, :)
Each site has it's own home page and index, and I have been very careful not to repeat to many rhymes etc, though Toby and Tilly are in both the Castle and Dreamland and now Diddilydeedot around the world. I have mad up most of the play lists from YouTube and google. But please always check these as sometimes you get the odd person who thinks its smart to change the content. I have looked through almost 7,000 videos on you tube alone, so you can imagine how many there are.
Many of the stories, myths tales, rhymes come from books well past their hundredth birthday. I have always collected old books and up until recently sold many on Amazon. But now I use all my spare time on the websites and blogging sites.
Then there are songs to sing, many, many new rhymes to learn and pass on to the future generations.
I have been on line over fours year now and also have my Zoomshare, Wordpress, Delicious, Twitter and Facebook. Best wishes xxx Seligor

Keep All Your Odds and Ends Organized with One Simple Storage Solution

It's easy enough for anyone to store pins—after all, pincushions have been getting the job done for generations. But to keep your sewing space even more organized, turn an old Storage Jar into a combination pincushion/storage spot with these instructions from Suzanne's Crazy for Collars that we found on Re-Nest.

A pretty pincushion works overtime for careful storage.

Storage Jars; my mum used to use these for bottling fruit in the summer, to use during the winter. I'm not sure whether they are used as much now but they are definitely for sale in any good iron mongers, as well as the old Car Boot and Garage Sales.
These jars are designed to have their lids come apart, so it's easy to add some padding: just trace the top of the lid onto a piece of spare fabric and cut it out, adding about 1.5 inches to the diameter; then lay cotton balls or fibre fill onto the back of the fabric, place the jar lid on top, and glue the edges of the fabric to the underside of the lid. Now you can screw the ring of the lid back on, creating a soft, fluffy top that holds onto your pins with a keep-anything storage spot in the jar below.
Of course, you could use the decorative jars for storing just about anything, adding your favourite patterns, colour, and embellishments to the top. And since storage jars come in a variety of sizes (and are easy to up-cycle), you can keep track of everything from spare buttons to cat treats without investing in expensive storage solutions.
