Finally. It feels good to be creating again! Last week I finished the sketch\"Burningsketch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and started to pull some fabrics from the stash. We have thousands of different fabrics; isn’t it amazing that our brains have logged it all and we know what is there, and pretty much where it should be!
