This is a few days late, as I went on a little babymoon with my husband to Charleston, SC. We enjoy historical sites, museums, and good eats; Charleston offers plenty of that. The trip was very fun, however it was really hot and humid. Anyway, I was quite productive during…

Continue reading →: New WIP: Halloween Happiness
After finishing Royal Holiday, I wanted something completely different from the fairies/laides I’ve been stitching, so I started Halloween Happiness by Imaginating.
