New York chillin is what I call it. When the last call for sunlight sounds, and feels, like heaven. And running my mouth with the sis gets me back into a groove. In my happy blues, thanking God for the 95% chance of a coffee shop on the next block. He delivers every...

Haha! These crazy shorts. I know. I thought the same thing while wearing them. And yes I know the patterns don’t quite line up in the front, but I’m getting there. The two sisters Poly and Ester helped me with this one. I cut them to size, sewed them, and...
