Gifted Gorgeousness - November

 
 


Time for Novembers Gifted Gorgeousness, where we share something you have gifted yourself or been gifted to you between 15th of each month. 

See the tab at the top of Jo's blog for more information or visit her link up post for November to see what other GG participants have shared.
 
In todays post arrived a little fob that DJ kindly sent to me after a drawing on her blog for breast cancer.   Perfect timing to be included in my GG post.  Thank you DJ for your kindness, it is beautiful.
 
 
A lady at the craft group is so very talented.  I ordered this bag with little purse for Isabelle my granddaughter to add to her Christmas parcel.  The little badge was an extra she made with the leftover fabric.
 
 
 
As well as the bag, i'll gift a book, so I stitched a little bookmark to go with it.  
 
I'll include the second instalment of the Royal Rabbits of London - "Escape From the Tower" not this one which is Book 1.  I've just finished reading this one after Isabelle loaned it to me.  It's Santa Montefiore's first children's book written with her husband Simon Seabag Montefiore.  I really liked the story but then again I do like bunnies so not really a surprise.  The Royal Rabbits protect the Queen at Buckingham Palace and Shylo, the weakest of his family who lives in the country overhears a plot by the ratzi's to take a photo of the Queen in her nightie, he knows he has to do something to stop it happening.  I hope I get to borrow the second book after santa delivers it! 
 
 
 
CCN Christmas birdhouse is finished off ready to gift to a family member
 
 
 
The red cardigan is completed too.  Isabelle came early one day last week for breakfast before school and spotted it on the table.  Off came the older one and on with the new.  Not the best pic of it, but 7 year olds at 8am in the morning are not always co-operative!
 
 
 
I've also been stitching a gift for a Christmas ornament exchange but that's a secret till opening day so you will have to wait to see that.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing what's in your GG post for this month
 
Love and blessings
 
Julie

    Lovely gifts Julie - my favourite, as always, is the hand knitted cardigan for Isabelle. It's lovely that she couldn't wait to wear it:-)

    Thanks for taking part in GG this month. Really you should rename it GGGG or Gorgeous Granddaughter Gifted Gorgeousness as most of the gifts are for her! Love the story about the cardigan too, nice to be appreciated.

    The fob is beautiful and what a great bag and purse your friend made. Isabelle is a lucky girl to have a crafty grandma, lovely bookmark and new cardigan.

    Isabelle's going to be thrilled with her little bag and purse, aren't they just lovely? I haven't heard of the Royal Rabbits of London, I'm intrigued now and wouldn't mind reading it myself. I can't wait until I have grandchildren so I get to read all those wonderful children's books again. It looks like the cardigan is a great fit, and ready just in time for the colder weather that's approaching.

    I love how she immediately put on the new cardigan; that's very sweet and it's obvious she loves your gifts! The bag commissioned for her is very cute too; love the unicorn fabric. The bunny bookmark is great too. Your CCN birdhouse stitch looks perfectly finished!
