I can declare with all honesty that I have missed travelling. I was fortunate enough to have taken my last pre-pandemic trip right at the end of 2019, which tided me over for a good part of lockdown and with my fear of flying, I wasn’t exactly missing the idea of being on a plane. …
When in doubt, swatch it out!
To swatch or not to swatch. Is that really in question? So you can Google swatching, and there will be a million (slight exaggeration) posts on the topic. It seems that everyone has their own idea about swatching, from how to do it to what to do with all your swatch squares when it’s over …
