We’re falling over tired, completely surrounded by a fortress of boxes to unpack, ikea furniture … More

Spring’s final stitchette, Ula’s Umbrella…
Thanks again to everyone who left one of the many wonderful suggestions for the Spring Stitchettes! These were a lot of fun to work on. They should be up in the shop sometime soonish…within the next 2 weeks I’d say. Then I’ve got to figure out a way to squeeze in the rest of the alphabet.
