HWS HD!!

This year I had two cousins get married.  I thought since Heirloom Wedding Sampler was so pretty I would stitch one for each of them.  What a bad idea.  I lost interest in the second one and even the deadline of the wedding couldn’t get me going on it.  My cousin’s wedding was in July [...]

Line ‘em up and knock ‘em down?

I don’t know about finishing things, I certainly do start a lot.  Not into the new year and I’ve already decided to add to my ”work” load.  Definitely doing a correspondance course through EAC.
