The choli vexes me

Posted on July 13, 2009 by HappyGoth

I have conquered Gaul

Posted on July 6, 2009 by HappyGoth

Well, no. I haven’t. I have done something monumental (for me) this weekend, though. I block-printed 4 yards of fabric. Allow me to say, though, for the record, that although I freaked out completely that the madder I ordered hit … Continue reading →

Kolhapuri

Posted on June 24, 2009 by HappyGoth

Specifically, sandals. (Again, the disclaimer – I am American, of English and German ancestry. I am really really impressed by rather mundane Indian things. If you are similarly American, you may be impressed. If not, well, be patient with me.) … Continue reading →

Some good news and some bad.

Posted on June 17, 2009 by HappyGoth
