I'm so excited for what this new year will bring! In all the bustling days ahead, I hope you find and take some time to relax with a cup of coffee or tea and pick up a stitching project. A little handwork a day keeps the doldrums away - especially if you're using red floss.
I hope you enjoy my first release for 2013. Happy, Happy New Year!

Paulette,
I adore it! Please think about designing coordinating houses...like a Blue Bungalow, Yellow Colonial, etc. (you get the idea).
Thanks for always designing patterns that make me smile!
