I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it. There’s nothing better than a box of finishing! Look what arrived. I’m delighted. This is Winter Sleep from Brenda Stofft.

OOOH! Today I get to share with you a brand new stitchguide for a newer than new canvas. This is Southern Sky by eleanor Grosch. In typical eleanor style it has great areas to fill with stitches.
