Do you have time

to embroider...
the way nan used to...would be nice

i have been thinking a lot lately about resurfacing
my hoop
and giving it another go
just need to find the right pattern
there certainly is some stunning work out there
for the looking
these cards would look beautiful hand stitched
like they used to be
