Allison's handiwork

Julianne wasn't the only little elf creating gifts this year. Allison also handcrafted a gift for Clarence and I for Christmas.



Allison isn't one to use patterns. She's far too free-spirited for that. But she has really enjoyed playing around with embroidery this year and decided to try cross-stitching something as a gift for us.

This is her first attempt at cross-stitch, using her own design.

Clarence and I were delighted to receive it. We do love their gifts from the heart. I am going to keep my eyes open for a new frame, however. This one would work for my mom, but isn't my favorite thing. Maybe I'll get Allison to help me find something a little less cherubic..and gold.

  2. What a darling picture! Bravo Allison, you did beautiful work! What about just spray painting the frame white or pale blue?
