I Always Wished I Was European...

I often wished I was some exotic import from England or Sweden, adding to the allure of my extremely dazzling personality... Unfortunately for me, HA, I grew up in North Central Massachusetts, have a non-regional dialect and freckles. Whoa is me.

Obviously, I like to do things that are out of the ordinary if at all possible, including but not limited to my art/crafting. Enter Ottobre, a women's sewing mag out of Finland. I happened upon it due to my Pink Chalk Fabrics email subscription and I am terribly excited to have received my first issue! Getting to work straight away on wraps (seen here on my issue's cover) for me and my kin.
