I'm late again for the Gifted Gorgeousness (GG) report. Jo hosts the GG SAL at Serendipitous Stitching on the 15th of each month. Anything stitched with gifted supplies or stitched to be gifted qualifies for the GG report.
This month has been a very different one. I had a birthday, we went into COVID related lockdown, I broke a tooth which has led to root canal treatment and a crown, and it's time for my annual post breast cancer tests. A busy month for me!
I finished up all the ornaments I stitched last month. I did show the photos in the Smalls report, but because I am in pain (from dental procedure today) and need distracting, I'm putting the pics in here too.
I crocheted a cotton sundress for Miss Sarah's 4th birthday. I haven't been able to give it to her yet, as we are in lockdown and visiting is not allowed.
I've stitched a few more Christmas ornaments. I can now count on my fingers the number of Christmas ornaments remaining on my Christmas stitching list, so I added to the list name samplers for three little boys who will, I hope, visit me this Christmas.
This ornament is for my youngest sister. I started with Vermillion's Christmas Mini Ornament chart in front of me, and the angel dresses came from that (cross stitched instead of backstitched) but that needle ran away from me and the finished stitching is nothing at all like the charted ornament.
This is the Vermillion inspiration:
A Baby's First Christmas ornament for a cousin's grandson. I'm waiting for baby's name to finish the stitching. Although it doesn't look like it in the pic, the fabric is a plain white. I have one more of these to make this year.
Some more little stocking ornaments. I think I have just 2 more of these to make this year.
And that is all I have to show. I am really looking forward to seeing all the GG stitching this month.

Such a nice visit, love to see your Christmas stitchings every month. Those 12 days are amazing. (I broke a tooth too, 2 days ago but find a dentist in August here will probably be not possible), we'll see! xxx
My goodness you have been super busy! I really love your 12 days of Christmas ornaments, and they are so wonderfully finished! I feel for you guys in your lock down there. I think you are wise being cautious but it can make getting seen by health care professionals really difficult. Thank you for reposting the pictures of your smalls, it was a feast for the eyes. Take care!
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. I do love seeing all your ornaments each month! The 12 Days set are particularly gorgeous.
Did you see my Summer Postcard Blog Hop yet?
Wonderful finishes. Can't blame you for posting them again. Hopefully you feel better soon.
I love the little mini stockings, I could imagine making those as a yearly tradition (we buy a new ornament for our Christmas tree every year so we can look back on the past year when we see it)
WOW! I'm overwhelmed when I think of doing 5 ornaments - in a year - you certainly put me to shame. Love the 12 Days set.
I think all your ornaments look very pretty and I really don't mind seeing them more than once! You certainly have been busy with them.
Sorry to hear about your tooth. I hope the pain has subsided by now! Hope your test results have nothing to show.
