taking photos are one of my passions also...i love alot of the things you have listed here...I especially like your photo of "peer contentedly"...

Thanks for your kind comment on my dress! I like your creations, too! Your Alabama Skirt is great!

hey Amarie! Haven't noticed any posts from you in awhile-- wanted to say hello and that i miss your creations and musings! Hope all is well:)

Český Krumlov! I was there once... too many people in the centre, so I would like to point out to you there are lots of such towns in the Czech Republic, and some of them aren't so crowded. :-) And that almost every bigger town in our country has a fabric store. :-)

Thanks, Nayantara. La Cinque Terra in Italy by the Ligurian Sea. This is the view from Monterosso, the start of a long but worth it hike because hidden between the mountains are the remaining four towns of Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riamagorre.
