Yesterday, I prepared the outset block for stitching. Fortunately, I all the same had plenty of that snowflake background cloth to brand these blocks.
This morning, I hooped it upwards together with went to town. These are going to live on thence pretty. This outset 1 is stitched inwards iii shades of bluish floss. The smaller circles on the pattern are filled amongst French knots. The larger circles volition live on embellished amongst tiny H2O ice bluish Swarovski pearls.

We gave upwards the gift telephone substitution virtually v years agone since the youngest of our identify unit of measurement is forthwith 35. None of us actually demand or desire anything, together with thence the gift telephone substitution seemed superfluous. Now nosotros bask 1 another's fellowship some a festive table.
