I am so excited. I just had to share this with all of you. I treated myself to a new book that just came out and it is so wonderful that I almost squealed going through the pages. It's called Cross Stitch Letters Bible by Valerie LeJeune. It's an enormous collection of alphabets and numbers (739 different alphabets and 99 different numbers) They range from tiny to very large. I recommend it for any cross stitcher's library.

Since it was raining again yesterday, I used my new book to create a new cross stitch pattern. It's all stitched up but needs to be backed and stuffed into a finished pinkeep. I really am happy with the design. Especially the very fancy date :)

I'm sure I will be using this for reference quite a bit in the future. Now I have all the alphabets and numbers I could possibly need. This was worth every cent.
Until next time. Have a wonderful week and may there be sunny days ahead.
