Gifted Gorgeousness September 2024

September is my birthday month so this is always my biggest GG month. My first GG is very special, you may have seen it on my Fully Finished post but as it is so special I'm very happy to also show in Gifted Gorgeousness.

The end of August was our daughter and son-in-law's first wedding anniversary, yep it really has been a year already. It's paper for a first anniversary so I tried something new, embroidery on a photo. I printed a colour photo to get the colours matched and a black & white one to stitch on, I'm thrilled with how it turned out. 

I received another Santa from my good friend Gill, she has stitched 5 for the tree, thank you Gill.

Gill also stitched my a beautiful card for my birthday. I have received quite a few cards from Gill over the years, all so lovely. I've managed to upcycle most into ornaments and I'm looking forward to doing this one too.

I received some lovely gifts from my stitchy friends: hand knitted socks from Julie, a beautiful kit from Gill and a Cornish recipe book from Christine. 

I had a great birthday in Cardiff including a visit to the Royal Mint, you can read about it here. I felt very spoilt especially when the restaurant surprised me with a dessert.

Gifted Gorgeousness is hosted each month by the lovely Jo at Serendipitous Stitching. GG, on the 15th of each month, is 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.
