I just had to comment to thank you for this lovely post.
wow!! …no words.. wow!!
As a Canadian who lived in what was the Lancashire and travelled the Dales and Lake District for almost three years, your site thrilled me. Daffodils are especially fond memories of March in England. Unfortunately it will be May before we see them. I am a recently at home (health) crafter who seems to have lost direction. Your work overwhelms me with it’s beauty.

Me again! There is now a tutorial and pattern for this purse for sale in my etsy shop if you’re interested.
I hope you don’t mind me mentioning it here.
