I
think everyone should "believe in the magic of
Christmas", don't you? This design has a Scandinavian feel
to it, stitched in wonderful shades of red, jade and aqua. The colors
seem to play off one another. There's even a row based on a drum
motif!
The
charm was done by my sister, Barbara Greenberg of Maastricht, Holland,
who had been wanting to do a Nutcracker.
