    The sweetness of their wee faces.
    Love the sparkle!
    Nancy, it was so lovely to receive my copies of Somerset Gallery and Sew Somerset and to know I have the honour of appearing in the same publications as you. Your art inspires so many of us, it really is a joy to view.
    Wishes

    Hi Nancy,
    These are such pretty little ornaments. I can’t wait to try some. I just purchased some supplies earlier today that will work perfectly with this project. I hadn’t even seen your post prior to buying my items. I think it was meant to be.

    Best wishes,
    Barbara S.

    So very pretty, Nancy.

    Last year we bought a ‘bare’ tree with white lights and some of your projects will look fabulous on it.
