Share your #skinnylaminx
One of the best things about doing what I do is when I spot the things I’ve designed out in the real world, getting put to use, making other peoples’ sofas / kitchens / groceries look good. So it’s always a thrill when you show us on social media what you’ve done with your Skinny laMinx, but we …
