    Happy birthday to me & my blog “Racaire’s Embroidery & Needlework”! 9 years filled with medieval embroidery! 😀 *gosch* …can you imagine it? I am already posting for 9 years about my embroidery and sewing projects.

    Fantastic, beautiful work. I have a stamped scarf that always gets compliments. And I also just had a small commission completed. Great work with a reasonable turnaround time. I look forward to doing business in the future.
