The Snowflower Diaries

My dear Stitchers, I hope you are doing well and going to have a great summer with lots of stitching time!:-)  I spend lot of time with my new love:  photography (by the way, it is me on the picture with an old beautiful machine:-)  The interesting thing is that since I have started to learn professional photography in 2016 and I focus a lot in cameras as I shot loads every week, my eyes turned sharper!
