It's the 15th of the month (again) - time for the Gifted Gorgeousness report. GG is hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching. Anything stitched with gifted supplies, or stitched to be gifted, qualifies for inclusion in the GG report.
My WIP, HAED Christmas Dreams, is stitched with gifted pattern and supplies, and I am very pleased to report that it is now 71.8% finished. It's on track to be completed by mid 2021. This time last month I was working on the 38th page. I have now stitched 43 of the 66 pages, and made a start on the 44th page. I took this photo (off the frame) when I finished row 7 of charts (42nd page).
This next photo shows where I am up to now. I didn't take it off the frame for the photo, but I have turned the photo right-side up for ease of viewing.
I picked up my crochet hook and made a little shopping bag for Miss 3. I had cotton left after making her a dress for her birthday, and thought that would be a good use for it. I've ordered some large glittery butterfly beads to brighten it up. Miss 3 loves bags, butterflies, and bling so I think she will approve. I didn't have a pattern for the bag, but used my favourite twisted treble stitch for the body because it is quite a stretchy stitch and I thought it would work well as a bag.
I also made a batch of beaded angels, using pearl drop beads I was given for my birthday by a friend who recognised that the beads were crying out to be angels. I will keep most of these for my 'hand-crafted' Christmas tree, but some will be gifted this Christmas.
That's all I have to show this month except that I did make up the Christmas ornaments I had stitched last month.
I am looking forward to visiting the GG blogs to see all the lovely projects completed and WIPs.
