Berries in Winter Dress
Greetings friends! With things veering, once again, a tad more towards the terrible out there, I hope you and yours are all keeping well and are healthy. I’ve not been feeling great but been distracting myself by making garden seed inventories and planning this year’s […]
Plaid Duffle Coat or an Escalated Test Drive
We went out the other day to take in the last of autumn and see the birth of the new winter season. When we were there, we took the opportunity to photograph my first self sewn coat. It was a beautiful cold, cold walk in […]

Bright Sanders Button-up Shirt
Hi all! Well, it’s been a difficult start of the year has it not? Between the storming of the Capitol by fascists and the government in my own country (rightly) falling as the culmination of years long scandal in the tax department- all the while […]
