A Brave New Adventure

This is a new adventure for me.  I will be posting from time to time to give detailed directions for a new series published by Lizzie Kate Designs.

The series will be released later this month.  I will give you a little while to stitch your ornament  then the finishing fun will begin!

Happy Finishing!

The Pocket
