Fully Finished Objects and Gifted Gorgeousness in August

 



My post this month is again for both FFO and GG as it's really the same items. The secret project has been completed, fully finished and gifted but I can't share until next month. 

FFO is Rachel's, Ten Hour Stitcher, Fully Finished Objects blog sal which is a super chance to show and tell about the crafty that are completely finished. Thanks Rachel

And GG is Jo at Serendipitous Stitching's Gifted Gorgeousness blog sal when we share our latest gifts. These can be gifts given or received, or any item made using fabric, threads, buttons, ribbon, chart, backing fabric that has been gifted.Thank you Jo.

My first item was for a very good friend's special birthday. Julie, a member of Needlecraft Haven, has not had the best of times recently, she's a great friend and so supportive to others. She loves reading so this bookmark was perfect. It's an Etsy design by Rogue Stitchery.

My other item is for another Julie, Hubby's sister, who also had a special birthday. This year three Julie's have all turned 60! 

It's exciting times here with our daughter's wedding just two weeks away. In July I had super a weekend away with the girls and a few weeks later Hubby went on a city break with the chaps. Last weekend we went to Cardiff to give them our gifts and enjoy a celebration meal together.

This is me and Philippa on the Hen Do and me with Hubby last Friday in Cardiff. I'm sure the next two weeks will fly by. 


I'm hoping from September my stitching will be back on track as will my blog reading, I'm sorry to have been away most of the year but I was focusing on wedding things which were secret and it's easier to stay quiet so there's no slip ups 🙊😳😂

  3. The bookmark turned out great, I like the tassel with all the colours in it.
    Lovely J, is it a coaster or paperweight?

  9. Thanks for taking part in GG this month. How funny to have three 60th celebrations for Julies! It’s very much a name of our era though. My best friend was called Julie, we’ve still got a couple of years to go.
    I bet you’re excited about the wedding, such a lovely way to all get together and celebrate.
