Hoo boy, it's been so hot lately! and this is such a busy time of year, plus I have a whole host of things to do and make before Christmas and all I want to do is read and/or flop into the pool .... but no time for that just yet!
This will be my penultimate paper doll post, and I have started jotting down the thoughts in my head about the whole obsessive practice of making ALL my own clothes/avoiding ALL RTW things... a happy lifestyle choice that is both accountable and self-sustainable while embracing and finding an outlet for my inner creative? or merely self-inficted craziness!?
The jury is still out.... but at the moment I'm leaning towards craziness ;)
