Love those nails! Beautiful manicure. My hands are all weathered and horrible. I have always admired beautiful hands and nails. That is something I always notice about people. Lovely knitting and fit for your top and Ruby is one lucky little baby to have you for an aunt! Sweet little sweater.

Love that tank. Nice color too!
