Gifted Gorgeousness in March

 

The 15th of each month means it's Gifted Gorgeousness time, the time each month 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.

This great idea is hosted each month by the lovely Jo at Serendipitous Stitching,  if you visit her blog you'll find the links to everyone's Gifted Gorgeousness posts. Thank you Jo for hosting another year of GG, it's great fun posting and reading. 

My stitching this year seems to be all gifts, I do enjoy stitching for others but it does mean there is often a delay in sharing with others .... and repetition in posts so I'm sorry if you have seen these before. 

This is the Pandora box I upcycled for our son's girlfriend's birthday. I bought her some i-clip bookmarks and the box was the perfect place to keep them in. The i-clips were owls so I stitched an owl for the lid covering. 


My other GG is a gift sent to me. It was just Mary and myself that participated in the Needlecraft Haven Valentine/Friendship Exchange. I included my gift to Mary in February's post, here's the beautiful card Mary stitched for me. 

It is additionally special as Mary used a chart sent to her in a previous exchange a few years ago by Angi, a lovely NH member who sadly passed away last year. I'll be upcycling Mary's card so it can be displayed with my other ornaments. 


Right back to gift stitching, my needle is very busy this year hee hee
