Emerald Mermaid - Finished and Framed

Post by Heidi »

My husband got me an early Christmas present, the Emerald Mermaid by Nora Corbett (An Mirabilla Design). I couldn't bring myself to wrap it and put it under the Christmas tree, so I started stitching it. :oops: So now my husband is getting me another cross stitch as a Christmas present, but he's sending to his work so that I can't get a hold of it, and he's not mad. :D All he wants is a list of project that I would like to do. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. :D
