Overview
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a blog post up. For a little over a week I’ve been fighting some severe back and neck pain. I could only bare to sit in a chair for short periods of time so swatching and taking photos took priority. I’ve been able to share some of those swatches with you on instagram so you can catch up on anything missing from my blog there.
