Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop

Welcome! Jo from Serendipitous Stitching is running her annual Easter blog hop. It's not actually Easter yet, although Lent ended yesterday; for these few days we are waiting for what comes. This was a challenging Lent for me this year, with a lot of suffering and penitence -- as I guess it should be -- and I'm looking forward to the Easter season and all things joyous and springy. And to start it off, I have not one but two finishes!

But enough of my inexact stitching! You are here for a letter, and here it is:

Go to Little Stitches Art for the next letter.

Happy Easter, happy hunting, and happy stitching!
