Class Home < Sweet End cross-stitch
Posting about the Team Peach piece reminded me that I haven’t posted about this other quickee either. I actually started this in the summer of 2009 – while we were waiting the interminable wait to move into our new home. When we finally got the keys (two years ago last weekend), we were so busy [...]
