Gifted Gorgeousness February 2025

 It's Gifted Gorgeousness time...

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

I couldn't post any Fully Finished items this month as they were gifts but as one gift has been given I can post in Gifted Gorgeousness.

This Hygge design was a challenge piece for this year's Seasonal Challenge at Needlecraft Haven. As soon as I saw it I knew it was just right for our son's girlfriend's birthday. I filled it with tea bags, perfect with the Hygge cookbook. I baked a cake too using M&Ms to decorate it which means her cake is full of her initials.

The 14th was Opening Day for Needlecraft Haven Valentine's Exchange, this year hosted by Mary and was a non-stitchy exchange. We had a budget to shop with to buy our partners sone crafty items.

Christine sent me a lovely pair or scissors, a polka dot retractable measure, a floss ring and a needle threader with clippers, I haven't seen one before. Thank you Christine for my super exchange.

My gifts were for Mary who I know also does quilting so I included a bundle of fat quarter fabrics. Our local haberdashery always has a bargain shelf on which I spotted a ball of thread and heart embellishments. The shop is fairly new to our town, the owners used to run a market stall, and their prices are very good. They only have basic supplies (no DMC thread) but I did find some heart buttons and a pin wheel to finish Mary's exchange parcel.

Not a stitchy but I will share this lovely gift my Hubby gave me on Valentine's Day, we got engaged on 14th February in 1986! The words are so lovely...

Happy Valentine's Day 

Never Forget that 

I LOVE YOU

You are my best friend
