It's Gifted Gorgeousness time - a superb idea hosted by Jo at
Serendipitous Stitching to share our gifts both sent and received. It's lovely to see everyone's gifts which can be:
- any chart, kit, thread, fabric or finishing items you have been given
- any chart, kit, thread, fabric or finishing items you have won in a giveaway
- any chart, kit, thread, fabric or finishing items you have bought using a voucher given to you/won by you
- anything you have gifted to someone else
My first item is a gift I stitched for a very good friend who we met through the wine industry. Last month was the
People's Choice Wine Awards, for which I was a judge, and I knew she would be there so made this small gift. She loved it, it now lives in her office.

To my huge surprise I won a giveaway on Rosey's blog,
Ishkabibble. It's a beautiful chart by The Needle and I with a heart for each season. I have an idea already about how to finish these, although I will be altering summer slightly.

| Thank you Rosey |
A week on from my ankle operation and my foot feels ok, the stitches are starting to itch which, although frustrating as I cannot get to them, is a good sign.
Last week my Hubby and daughter bought me some lovely flowers. I had great fun yesterday wheeling into the kitchen (I am not allowed to weight bear until next week) and stretching over the sink to refresh them all. They all look like new and will hopefully last a while yet.

I really like the 'wine a bit .....' and am looking forward to seeing the seasonal hearts finish. Enjoy your lovely flowers.
Great stitching Clare, and lovely flowers
Pretty flowers! They certainly brighten up your day, Clare :) Your little wine piece is darling and congratulations on winning Rosey's giveaway--that is such a cute chart!
Great stitching. Lovely gifts. The flowers look beautiful.
That is a very cute ornament. I can see why your friend likes it. Your puctures are lovely. I hope your stitches stop paining, and that your recovery is quick and uneventful.
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. Love the punning gift for your friend and the lovely prize too. That will cover four more GG posts as you stitch each heart!
The wine finish is beautiful. Enjoy the giveaway win.
The flowers are lovely too..remind me of Spring.
P.S. Thank you for the comments on my blog.

The wine gift looks great, I know plenty of friends I could stitch that for!
What a fun win from Rosey, it looks like it could be a quick stitch.
Beautiful flowers, I'm certainly ready for spring!
What beautiful flowers! Bring on spring! I am curious how you'll change summer. Maybe the British flag? :) Here's hoping you continue to recover quickly~
Sorry to be late commenting! I’ve been trying to finish some projects for my handicraft group's exhibition which was last week, so yay, I can get back to normal now! What is “normal” ..... tee hee!
Lovely stitching Clare, and such a neat finish. I have quite a few stitched pieces I’m putting off because I’m worried I’ll spoil them!
Such lovely flowers!
Hope your ankle is improving.
Hugs,
Barbara xx
