It's been a few months since I've put up a Gifted Gorgeousness report, and they have been difficult months. My partner lost the cancer battle at the very end of April, after putting up a very good fight, and there has been so much to cope with. I'm finding the older I get the harder it us for me to adapt to changes but when I looked at the calendar and saw I'd just missed the GG reporting date of the 15th of the month, it prompted me to take action. As always, the GG SAL is hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching. Anything stitched with gifted supplies, or stitched to be gifted, qualifies for inclusion.
My last GG report was for February, so I will put in pics of the things I have stitched since then. This year my 12 Days of Christmas project is Jim Shore's very colourful set. Initially, my plan was to stitch one day per month, but I am notoriously bad at following plans. I had finished Days 1 to 6 by the February GG report. Days 7 to 9 are now also finished.
And I am currently stitching the border on Day 10. I am stitching this set for myself (because who doesn't need a 7th stitched 12 Days of Christmas set) using gifted supplies.
I have also stitched and finished these ornaments, most as Christmas gifts for children or close relatives.
I also stitched a name sampler for a new member of the extended family. It's not a good pic unfortunately. It does look better than the pic, much brighter and clearer.
That's it for now.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Take one day at a time and hold onto your fond memories. It's nice to see you post again. I kept popping in to check on your. All the stitching is lovely. ((HUGS)). I hope today is better for you than yesterday, and tomorrow better still.
