I'd ordered them for her hop and they happened to be sitting on my work table when I was trying to decide what to do. This was my first bead embroidery piece in a dog's year (I've been listening to this audio book with the greatest little sayings peppering the dialogue). I had a blast working on it in the evenings. If you find any cat hairs, they're from Wormwood who insisted on sharing my lap while I worked.<br /><br />But Shirley, I'm not going to let you go saying bad things about the ornament you sent me because it's Gorgeous. And the pictures confirm my statement!Karen Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817327351587111988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608689234920116693.post-29380478834521466352013-12-14T06:42:00.950-08:002013-12-14T06:42:00.950-08:00Wow, that's an amazing ornament you received! ...Wow, that's an amazing ornament you received!
