My First 2007 Finish!

OK so I'm really really a slow stitcher. I tend to start projects and take forever to finish them, so I move on. I won't do that with the Celtic Ladies however; they cost me a fortune! Anyway, here's my newst finish:




I think it's very cute and I'm sure some women can relate!

Well that's all for now; I need to do more stitching!
