This is my latest creation. A black tie printed with the poppy logo of my favourite band, The Alarm. This is not for any kind of fundraising project and just a one off I’ve made for myself, and is in fact for an outfit I am currently working on just for little old me. I

It’s taken until the middle of May for my work unit to really begin to warm up. Just a few days ago I was still wearing my winter fleece and winter coat inside the unit. I have now discarded the dark winter colours and brought the summer colours back out. It’s definitely good for my
