Fully Finished Objects in May

 

Rachel, Ten Hour Stitcher, hosts Fully Finished Objects, a super chance for us to show and tell about the crafty items we have completely finished. Thanks Rachel, it's a great way to see everyone's stitching. I am a slow blogger this year as I only really have one project to do and it's taking all my time. 

This month I have three finishes; one you've seen in my Smalls post last month and two you will see again in my GG post in May. 

My small FFO is a hardanger heart I made as a trial for the extra ones I'm doing for this year's tree. I'm putting up the White Tree again using my previous hardanger ornaments but hopefully adding a few new hearts as our daughter gets married this year. This one is a little small but not bad as I did it without a chart. 

My next fully finished item is a small wedding sampler for our nephew and his bride. Their wedding was in April, it was strange to see Mr and Mrs Hearnden on the top of their wedding but nice to have another Mrs H in the family. 

We had a lovely day, it was so nice for us all to be together, and dressed up. Left to right; Michael (daughter's fiance), our daughter Philippa, me, my Hubby Nick, our son Michael and his girlfriend Mel. We took some group photos with our kids (sounds wrong as they are grown ups) and one of us that wasn't the usual holiday selfie, it's not often we get the chance.

The Sampler is a Lizzie Kate design which I framed, they were very pleased with it and commented on the time it must have taken which was lovely of them to realise that about our craft. 

Their daughter is two, she looked lovely in her little bridesmaid dress. I stitched her a name plaque so she had a gift too. I had stitched one a while ago for our other Great Niece who lives in America so I thought I'd use the same design idea. The Alphabet is from an old magazine and I do swap some of the characters to balance the letters. 

Like I said you'll see these again soon but as I've had to wait until after the wedding it's nice to share twice.
