Welcome!

Hello my name is Charlie (my nickname actually).  Welcome to my small place on the internet.  Gingham Red is a place where I can explore and share with you my love of photography (particularly still life) flowers, art and embroidery.  I work full time in a corporate job so blogging and creating art/embroidery happens on relaxing Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope there is something here you will like as well.
