GG was started in 2015 and was a time to share things that have been gifted to you, or you have gifted to others since your last months post.  Anything gifted counts. 

 

 

 

A parcel arrived a while ago.  Kindly sent by Justine for me and the community sewing group.  Many thanks Jusitne, I'll pass it on.  Ladies who have never done cross stitch will be so excited to try it. 

 

 

A gift for DH 

He's been making lots of tea these past few months and worn out our old tea cosy, so I knitted a new one

 

 

 

 

 

 Wishing you peace and calm as people venture outside more and anxiety levels increase for some.

 

Be careful, take care and stay safe

 

Love and blessings

Gifted Gorgeousness ~ MAY

 

 

 

 

It's mid may? 

 

Can you believe it...  time for this months Gifted Gorgeousness post.

 

 

The chart for this pretty heart was the Winter challenge over at Needlecraft Haven.

 

I stitched mine, finished it with the pink heart lace surround and it went off in the post last week to Clare at Aimetu's Stitching to brighten her day as she faces the challenges illness and accidents bring.

 

 

I thought I would share these couple of gifts that I had this past week too.

 

A neighbour and I have been friends for over 25 years and one year for her birthday I bought her a rose bush entitled 'Friend'.  Every year since, she has always given my the very first bud that appears, it's become a tradition. 

 

 This year, even though we are not seeing each other at the moment she delivered the bud and left it on the doorstep for me so I could still have the first of the season.   The scent of it is so delightful. 

 

 

 

 

DD had a bunch of spring flowers delivered to us by post. 

That was a surprise!

 

 

 

It's the smallest of things that brighten our days at the moment isn't it?

Gifted Gorgeousness - APRIL

 

 

 

I shared the secret Easter exchange underneath some pretty tissue paper last time.  We had a virtual exchange on Easter Sunday and posted a picture online of the finish we had stitched as some post offices are closed so not all could be sent out.  We are saving them and posting out when we can.

 

As it's been shown on the forum, I can share my Easter exchange gift with you, but not say where it is heading and who will receive it.

 

The design is from a very old magazine called The Gallery.

 

 

The next two are to be Christmas gifts.  Stitched a while ago but received the finishing treatment this week.

 

The Winter challenge at Needlecraft Haven. A free design by la Comtesse & le Point de Croix and the chart from her blog can be found here.

 

 

 

Miss Santa by The Little Stitcher, this design was in a magazine (JCS I think)

I hope all is as well as can be for you at present and you and your families are safe in these strange times.

Gifted Gorgeousness ~ March

 

 

 

Three gifts to share for March's Gifted Gorgeousness post :-

 

 

A baby boy due next month for my oldest nephew and his wife.

 

Exactly the same blanket as his brother had for his new baby girl last month

 

 

Wrist warmers knitted for a friend with arthritis

 

 

This one is an oriental poppy and is going off in the post to Clare for her 'Bouquet Tree' for the Christmas tree festival at the church. 

 

I know a few of you are stitching a flower to add as well. You can read all about it here and add your name if you would like to make one for Clare's tree too.
