so quite a bit of organizing to do,  I will have been retierd 2 years when I starte agian, its loverly being home but I just love, the fashion design, and creating something out of nothing, and dont you think at the moment there is nothing that gives you the wow factor, all you vintage lovers, understand we are women and want to look our best at all times, when I open my doors, I want it to be the wow factor and resonable prices, so everyone can afford, my garments, well I could get carried away, with so much to tell have a great day to all                crafty
