After a two month hiatus, Embroidery Monday and the Stitchery Link Party have returned. But with a twist!

We didn’t go often as we were one of the married couples with children but when we did go, our favorite bartender Misty would make us the best Mai Tais!…
Aloha Everyone! We’re the Hexie Turtles! I’m Lexie. I’m the oldest because Sue made me first. Lanie is second oldest. She’s my bestest friend forever. And Rexie is my other bff.
