My week is set for success, I've got some some , and some to do, and I'm happy.

Lately, its nagging me, louder & louder, to start it.

Well, last night I learnt about chintz which originated in India and how imported print were banned in the early 1800s in Britain to try to save the British weaving industry. Of course, women found a way around the ban and made the most fabulous printed fabric clothes.
