Gifted Gorgeousness ~ March



Gifted Gorgeousness, organised by Jo over at Serendipitous Stitching.  Details and sign up page on Jo's blog.  The link for March is also there where you can find new blogs that take part, why not hop over and have a look.

The rules are simple, it's a time to share something that you have gifted or that has been gifted to you.

DH bought me some sock wool for Christmas from Snuggly Stars Yarns.  This colour is Christmas Cactus.  It's a merino based yarn in DK and very soft.  Ideal for a thicker pair of bedtime/evening wearing warm and cosy socks.  This pair were knitted for me.



A magazine free kit, one of a few, gifted to me for the craft group sale table by Justine.  Santa Dog looks cute in his little card.



A red cardigan (yes Jo, another one!!).  Using up lots of oddments from Isabelle's school cardigans this one is also for the craft group sale table.   



I've been stitching a gift too, but that's for an exchange so I'm not able to share that right now.

Another gift that's been received this month was from a local garden centre.  They donated a whole box full of seeds for the community garden.  There must have been over £500 worth in the box.


We've shared them with other community growing groups in the local area.

That completes my GG post for this month. 

Love and blessings

Julie

    That little cardigan is lovely, such a pretty pattern, I'm sure it'll get snapped up. The socks look so cosy, just the thing for bed or evening socks, they'll keep your feet nice and cosy.

    Thanks for taking part in GG this month. Love the red cardigan, it looks smaller than the usual one for your granddaughter. I think we need a nice cardigan collage at the end of the year!
    Love those socks too.

    I thought the box with the seeds were freebie kits from magazines. AriadnefromGreece!

    Wow, look at all the seeds! Were they "old" seeds, from the previous season? They still grow quite well but I'm so glad the store donated them and didn't pitch them to make room for the new stock. How wonderful of them. :)

    Fabulous GG, from the cardigan to the socks. The little Santa Pup is super cute.
