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).
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.
Wow, you made a lot of progress on your Santa piece and it's looking really good. The bag is lovely and I'm glad you were able to get all of your stitched pieces made into ornaments this month.
ReplyDeleteThese are great pieces! I love the little bag you crocheted and all the ornaments are so cute. Did you make the Angels from your own ideas or are they from a pattern?
ReplyDeleteFaith, I use my own method, but I am happy to share it with you if you are interested.
DeleteYour angels are gorgeous, they look super all together, I too would like to know how to do them. Christmas Dreams is looking great and I love your crochet bag.
ReplyDeleteYour Santa project is impressive and the angel beaded ornaments are brilliant. All your work is lovely.
