I am always admiring the gorgeous stitching on Vero's blog, and finally I broke down and bought the Hillside Samplings "Folk Art Hornbook" after I saw Vero's lovely finish of the same hornbook. So many times I came close to ordering this kit, but it is a bit pricey and I always was able to talk myself out of it! So, I finally gave in and ordered it. I feel better by telling myself that it is handpainted, and a limited edition kit! Perhaps this one will be my "something new" project that I begin this month! Now, if there is time before bed I am going to try and start "Queen Bee"!
