00:03:22 FFOs
1) Christmas Birds, not to be confused with Red Cardinals! HA!
2) Alice in Wonderland
3) Emerald City
4) Treasure Island
**Considerations for all my FFOs: I have made many creative changes to my OFE pieces often working with the called for flosses but usually incorporating embroidery stitches and beads. All my framed pieces are without glass due to the size of the jewels/depths of the frames. My frames are either thrifted or purchased from the "Oops" frames from Michaels for only $8.00 per frame (comes with only the frame, no glass/paper/inserts).
