Year in Review, 2012

  53. Wow - when you look at all the finishes for the year together, what an enormous amount of stunning stitching you accomplished!!

    I love your tree pictures - what a cool idea with the trunk pieces. I wish we could have a live tree but they are one of the few things I am allergic to. It used to be that I could decorate if I washed arms right away, then that became more itchy, now having it in the house causes hives over a period of time - sad!

    I loved the pictures of your tree getting - the one of your daughter and husband is precious!

    So glad you were all together - we were too and it was wonderful.

    Happy New Year!
