Nancy, what a joy to get to go to the conference and especially to find exciting colors you wouldn't ordinarily see. I hope you have a ball with the cocoa color wool.
My pressed flowers made into bookmarks for dd17's graduation present were a big hit. She received them at the restaurant with a few other gifts from friends and family.
I'm hoping you may be able to read the plant names I typed/copied in script on the back and can understand the fronts better that way. Can ya'll read that?
