I’m a little late with my post for the January International Hermit and Stitch Weekend. Work has been super chaotic, and I just haven’t had a chance to post until now.

Cute Bunny by Nadezha Mashtakova I have a new small finish. This one took me approximately one month to complete. I’m glad I decided to do this small one in between my large ones.
