heard about nicola s scarlet letter year challenge i decided to join i love the spirit of the challenge and that there are no regularly scheduled requirements to meet it sounded like just the thing for 2013 what a great way for nicola to celebrate turning 50 here is a sweet little christmas ornament i stitched it is the first design of three in the collection which i hope to finish in 2013
