    I have been doing some research for a new design and looking at the portraits of the women and men of the Tudor period – think Elizabeth I or any of the wives of Henry VIII.

    I should probably finish a few things before starting anything…[Read more]

      I’m working on the Elizabethan plum tree for now, as I think I have time to finish it before I start cranking out this year’s Christmas ornaments.
