I am always taking pictures and sharing about little coffee shops I go to when I'm traveling. I fell in love with a tiny coffee shop in Denali, Alaska when I was there. There sign was an old acoustic guitar on the wall with their name on it. I always love the updates on your mandala. It is spectacular.

We stayed at a Motel near my daughters new home (we've just bought the house for her so that she can stop flatting and have a place to call her own. She hasn't moved in yet).

Slung the strap over my shoulder and the fringe hung to my knees. Your mandala is absolutely stunning! A beautiful burst of summer crochet.
