More Dark Dates cross-stitch

Dark Dates has me in stitches!

July 26, 2020 · by traceysinclair | in Uncategorized | tagged crafts, Dark Dates | Leave a comment

As anyone who follows my Prodigal Geordie blog, having resisted the urge to get crafty that has gripped so many throughout the corona crisis, I finally succumbed, and resurrected my love of cross stitch.
