Gifted Gorgeousness is a great SAL organised and hosted by Jo at
Serendipitous Stitching. It's always nice to give or receive a gift and Jo's SAL highlights just how generous stitchers are :)
I have been working on a very special gift and my previous monthly posts have been a little light, however I can now reveal my latest project. It's not been that easy to stitch, for some reason I kept miscounting and being one stitch out so Mr Frog sat permanently on my shoulder !!
The gift was for our daughter Philippa who graduated last Monday from the University of South Wales with a first degree in Sport Management and an additional Outstanding Performance Award. It was a very wet but very enjoyable day.

This year my theme for my Christmas Tree at church is 'Joy to the World'. Thank you to everyone who's offered to stitch an ornament - when we arrived home from Wales there was a lovely parcel waiting.
Nadine has stitched two beautiful ornaments, thank you Nadine. Now I have finished my big project I can get on with my own Joy stitching along with catching up with the monthly challenges on Needlecraft Haven.

Beautiful pictures of the graduation. I am sure Philly was thrilled with her keepsake. She is such a beautiful young lady. I am sure both you and Nick proud as peacocks with all that she has accomplished. Well done Philly !!
Congratulations to Philippa! Beautiful stitch for a beautiful young woman. I love how you personalised it with the same lettering - very clever!
Congratulations to your daughter on earning her degree, a lot of hard work but well worth it now. The photos of the graduation ceremony look wonderful and you all look so happy. Your daughter is sure to treasure the lovely stitched gift you made for her. X
