It's time for some Gifted Gorgeousness hosted by Jo! I'm a little excited since I have some stitching done on a few pretty things for a few people! When I decided to stitch a bit on everything I have for my #Stitch9Challenge to put time on my Timesheet app...it was wonderful to touch everything!
As you know, I set aside Odd Clover because it was making me unhappy, but I had stitched a bit on it after the last Gifted Gorgeousness post so I'll go ahead and share that here. This is for my baby bird who wants this attached to the back of her vest as a patch. It's so pretty so far!
While I was touching all of my #Stitch9Challege pieces, I stitched a flower on Tapestry by Ink Circles which is a gift for my lifetime BFF.
Stitched that flower on the left side there. I am still debating whether or not I should make a second one so we have matching Tapestries since I really love stitching this one.
Next up we have something I've been waiting to start for a year or so! Cute Angel Mermaid, now renamed Blue Angel Mermaid (BAM) by my brother who this is for. I have one page finish so far and the start of another.
I seriously LOVE BAM and really want to go to town on it, but I'm rotating. Still, this will get lots of love for the rest of the month and after.
My sister and her two live crew will be arriving tonight and I couldn't be more excited! I haven't seen her since the family reunion at Pismo Beach, CA in 2017 and she's only 7.5 hours away by car...we both question why that's a problem, but we both know that work and money play a huge part in both of our lives. Still, with a wrestling tournament in Denver and my son and I offering free room and board, we get some much needed sister time!
I think that qualifies for Gifted Gorgeousness as well! The gift of sisterhood. I'm beside myself with excitement.
I hope everyone has a fabulous International Hermit Stitch Weekend. I don't think I'll have time unless I can squeeze in a minute OR (if I'm lucky) teach one of my nieces how to stitch. If you are catching any of that junky weather, stay warm and safe!
Until next time.....KEEP ON STITCHIN'!
Love your beautiful stitching. Keep it up! I agree with you family is definitely a gift. Enjoy your time and weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour Ink Circles is lovely. Enjoy time with your sister.
ReplyDeleteThank you and I certainly am!
DeleteAny GG is lovely and you have some lovely pieces on the go.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I (or my one of my namesakes) would love to take credit for GG but I think you need to change it to the true host, Jo! :)
Jo is AWESOME! I'm totally addicted to the blog hops :D
DeleteOh, so many great gifts! But you US people really have different standards for distance...'only' 7.5 hours by car? Seriously! :D
ReplyDeleteActually, it's just me who thinks 7.5 hours by car isn't far...remember, i lived in Alaska entirely too long, so the fact that I can drive anywhere at anytime is a luxury I didn't have up North :D
DeleteYour pieces are coming along. Enjoy your gifted time it is always special
ReplyDeletenow you are reminding me that I want to stitch Tapestry more haha!
DeleteBeautiful stitching. I admire your discipline in managing project rotation - it's something I can't do! I hope you have a great catch-up with your sister and her family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month. Definitely stitch another Tapestry for yourself, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time with your sister and family.
Hah, the comments on the distance. Go to Hawaii -- across the street is "far" and requires a car to get there! I was always amused at that. Hope you had a fantastic time with your family~
