Thank you for the package of sewing accessories for the low volume wta. I think I should practice making some little purse or bag for myself with the zippers! I apologize for my very late thank you, I was on vacation. I spotted some huge red eared sliders (I believe) in the Hof Vijver in The Hague, Netherlands. A Vijver could be like a pond or something.
