The childs pig hat is now ready for sewing up and assessment.  Aunty Biscuits crafting has been slightly curtailed at the moment as she has a small cut in an awkward place on her index finger.  I think this is just a feeble excuse.  Mum meanwhile has been repairing a candle using her encaustic art stuff.  Encaustic art seems to be making patterns on a special paper with hot wax.  The tools seem to vary from something resembling a travel iron to what I thought was a a soldering iron with attachments but apparently is a special one with a special temperature or voltage.  So, given that both of them have pyrography irons, one has an encaustic art iron and the other has a hot foil iron, not to mention the gemsetter that was a present from Aunty Viv, all of which look like a soldering iron, isn't it about time that someone could invent a variable voltage and temperature all in one thing?
