Description from YouTube
I love primitive cross stitching, decorating and quilting and can't wait to share my Finished Cross Stitch treasures with you.  Today, I’ve got treasures by Stacy Nash, La-D-Da, Threadwork Primitives, Plum Street Samplers, Brenda Gervais, and Country Rustic Primitives.  I have a fun photo video showing how I decorate with my beloved collection of vintage books, salt & pepper shakers, wooden spools of thread and treasures from nature.
Let's talk decorating with old wood, antique pieces and lighting to create the perfect mood for a warm and cozy vibe. I love when you come to visit with me and get inspired with the projects I share, the real-life talk and encouragement and take you on more Grace Walks by the river.

My new channel @JoyNeverTheLess  is up and ready for you to come visit me!!!
