I’m realising this blog is becoming way too “holiday photo album” and not enough about the handmade clothes.  Yesterday particularly, and I really wanted to only include other photos if I feel they’re related in some way to my creative…

Purple flowered shrub, what is your name?

Sky blue and coffee; off to the beach

07/12/200915/12/2015 CarolynUncategorizedLeave a Comment on Sky blue and coffee; off to the beach
