September is my birthday month so this is always my biggest GG month. My first GG is very special, you may have seen it on my Fully Finished post but as it is so special I'm very happy to also show in Gifted Gorgeousness.
The end of August was our daughter and son-in-law's first wedding anniversary, yep it really has been a year already. It's paper for a first anniversary so I tried something new, embroidery on a photo. I printed a colour photo to get the colours matched and a black & white one to stitch on, I'm thrilled with how it turned out.
Gill also stitched my a beautiful card for my birthday. I have received quite a few cards from Gill over the years, all so lovely. I've managed to upcycle most into ornaments and I'm looking forward to doing this one too.
I received some lovely gifts from my stitchy friends: hand knitted socks from Julie, a beautiful kit from Gill and a Cornish recipe book from Christine.
I had a great birthday in Cardiff including a visit to the Royal Mint, you can read about it here. I felt very spoilt especially when the restaurant surprised me with a dessert.

Happy birthday Clare! what lovely gifts you have received. The embroidery on paper is fabulous.
What a lovely post! Happy Birthday, you received such wonderful gifts from your friends. I truly love the card that one of them sent. The stitching on the picture is perfection, I'm sure they loved it! Happy Stitching!!
Happy birthday, thank you for sharing your gifts.
Joyeux Anniversaire ! What a marvellous idea that stitched photo, well done! Is it ribbon stitching? That must be hard not to tear off the paper. But the black and white photo with those lovely flowers give a perfect gift. Hugs. xxx
