Christmas Tidings
What do you usually do for Christmas with your family? How has it changed for you as you have grown up? Have you created new traditions?

Family September Birthdays
Honestly I call these angels, but I think the book calls them fairies. My fingers made all of the different stitches and even prepared the matting. Dad used his hands to make the frame. Making these handmade gifts was always fun they kept me busy with variances on the designs and making my own designs.…
