I love your quartet of handmade items (especially the sewn creation - it's stunning!)...a testament to the joys of being "weird" if I ever saw one!Arzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-32322270481996521992015-04-12T16:22:00.286+10:002015-04-12T16:22:00.286+10:00I am happy weird if this is weird Carol - it's...I am happy weird if this is weird Carol - it's a great way to be isn't it?

I think it's wonderful to be a creative maker, whether it's dress making,<br />chutneys and jams, curtains, print making, book making, quilts, knitting - all these give me and others great pleasure. I'm lucky to share my love of print making in workshops, which are always a learning, sharing experience for all, with lovely people.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989624921423448745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-72500970202998997522015-04-09T22:48:39.397+10:002015-04-09T22:48:39.397+10:00Here in Austin, Texas we celebrate "keeping i...Here in Austin, Texas we celebrate "keeping it weird" ... a wonderful state of mind and being.Liz Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397660873950991774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-65903375763793950212015-04-09T20:00:46.818+10:002015-04-09T20:00:46.818+10:00Thanks Olga - they certainly are for me!
