Fully Finished and Gifted Gorgeousness in July

 


Surprise 😮 it's me ... I am still in blog land and still stitching. 

I am nearing the end of my secret project, it has taken all my stitching and although not the easiest project I have done I have enjoyed every stitch ... added to by knowing its purpose.

Life has been quite busy and time seems to be passing very quickly this year. Our son and girlfriend have moved into their first home together. We had lots of boxes as he packed up, how did he fit so much into his room. 

Now we are redoing our son and daughter's bedrooms. Although she has been in Wales for over 10 years her room was still needed as a bedroom but now we have two empty bedrooms we can change a few things around. 

We have been on holiday and I had a super Hen Do weekend with our daughter and her friends. you can read about our travels on my other blog 

Wine, food and travel with Clare Aimetu 

As you can see my stitching so far this year has been very different to my usual projects but I do have something to share. 

I stitched a couple of coasters for the new homemakers. We bought them engraved glasses to match too. I was very touched to see our son's degree stitching and a few other projects I have previously stitched him on display in their home.


So my post is for Rachel's, Ten Hour Stitcher, Fully Finished Objects blog post which is a super chance to show and tell about the crafty that are completely finished. Thanks Rachel.

And for Jo at Serendipitous Stitching's Gifted Gorgeousness blog post 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.Thank you Jo.
