Oh my goodness, it’s the 3rd day and I am already starting to lose pace… I love your projects, Nancy, and I can’t stop sitting in front of the PC, my eyes close to the screen to see all the beautiful details. But now I’ll get going. I have to keep up, the most beautiful little gloves are waiting.. Thanks for sharing this one, too!!
Grateful hugs
