Last time I looked it was May 10. And now it's May 18. How did that happen! I certainly can't blame my stitching for my tardiness in writing my GG report. It's not been a very productive month. I have little to show this time.
I did stitch some little angels which will be Christmas gifts for a cousin and her 4 grand-daughters. The angel charts are L&L Christmas freebies from 1986 & 1987. I did give the Amish angels hair instead of caps and I changed some floss colours.
And as my cousin has a much-loved puppy, I stitched another gift-bearing rabbit design for Buddy. It's the same chart I used for a friend's puppies last month, and I really like the design, which I found in the premiere edition of LA's Celebrations magazine.
I stitched the rest of Barbara Sestok's 12 Days of Christmas designs. Hopefully next month I can show the set of 12 finished ornaments. As it stands now, just 4 have been finished up, and eight are waiting to be made up - along with another 11 stitched designs also requiring finishing into ornaments, and another two waiting to be framed.
I hope to have lots of finished ornaments to show in the June GG report. Our host for Gifted Gorgeousness is Jo at Serendipitous Stitching. Most of my stitching qualifies for inclusion in GG as it is either stitched to be gifted, or stitched with gifted supplies.
Love all those new Christmas patterns. Angels look great and Santa very funny. The 12DoCh charts are lovely, can't wait to see them full finished. Well done! Bisous. xxx
ReplyDeleteElfie: All your ornaments are lovely, I have to say the Drummer Boy is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy.

Very nice stitching. I LOVE the drummer boy! Such nice detail and coloring. Everything will make lovely gifts. This is my first go round with the Gift Linky, and I've enjoyed seeing so many nice projects.

Elfie, you amaze me with the amount of ornaments you stitch each month! I love how you have been finishing the 12 days! I've been stitching the same set (but I'm only on the 5th one) and it's funny how different they look with the different finishing. You are so generous with your stitching, always a fun visit to see what you've been working on!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness if this is 'little to show'!! I know you are generally massively prolific stitching so I do see it's less by your own standards, but it looks like Sooooooo much stitching to me!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month. I love the L&L angels and the fabulous 12 Days Ornament.
ReplyDeleteMore sweet sweet ornaments! I love the 12 days series especially!
ReplyDeleteLynne that seems like quite a bit of stitching to me! You are the busiest stitcher I have ever seen! I look forward to seeing the whole set of the 12 Days of Christmas all together.
