Stitch this Beautiful
Hark Christmas Ornament
Cross Stitch
We don't often hear the word, "Hark" anymore. Yet, when we do, we know exactly what it means. In fact, the word brings to mind an entire story, the birth of a baby who would change our lives in so many ways.
We think of angels and bright stars and visitor from afar, of simple shepherds and the promise of Heaven on earth.
From all of us to all of you, Merry Christmas!
