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.

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.
Gorgeousness, Nancy! Now that the hubby is going back to work, I may just have a little extra time! Hugs!
Love these, Nancy!
How perfectly sweet are these. Somehow I’m going to have to carve out some time to create a few. Thanks again Nancy.
These are simply beautiful!
Sweet and lovely! How you combine the vintage papers and silver is quite a treat. Hugs,
Love the bunting shape for these ornaments, thanks so much Nancy!
So very pretty, Nancy.
Last year we bought a ‘bare’ tree with white lights and some of your projects will look fabulous on it.
