Hello Friends,
Hope you are doing well.My personal goal was to Stitch every 'Day' in 'May'. I'm very happy to report that I was able to stitch/craft on 29 days out of 31 days of the month. I'm realizing that setting this personal goal helps me come out of my comfort zone(read laziness) .
My main focus was to finish creating gifts for my colleagues . I had a deadline as I had asked one of colleagues in Mumbai to carry the gifts with him. You see I don't trust the postal system to send handmade stuff by mail.
Here is what I made for them :
For Ms. J -Blackwork version of a Italian motif to celebrate her recent vacation to Italy and a wash cloth with her initial
For Ms. K -Cross stitched version of a Indian motif to remind her that she always has a friend in India and a wash cloth with her initial.
Happy to report I managed to finish a gift for a friend's 40th birthday. The gift is late only by 1 year 5 months 😀

Meanwhile , I was chatting with a fellow Indian cross stitcher on Instagram and we agreed to do a SAL from 1st June...details to follow .
This gave me a chance to pick my oldest WIP, Indian Peacock by Dimensions .I started this piece on 1st January 2017. I last stitched it on 31st May 2020.Here are the progress photos.

I will make separate posts for these finishes with details.
I hope you had a productive month, doing what you enjoy.
Lovely and meaningful gifts. Congrats on stitching so many days in May.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finishing the peacock.
Wow! Well done with all your stitches, Mini! It was great to stitch along with you through May. Unfortunately I only had one complete finish, my mini embroidered scissor keep, but got lots of stitches in, and one project you haven’t seen yet, which I hope to finish soon.

ReplyDeleteOh, 29 out of 31 is a pretty good quota! These washcloths are great, now I want to make some.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely gifts you made for your colleagues! Congratulations on finishing your gift for your friend. When I'm late giving a gift I always tell them I was just extending the celebration...haha. It's a lovely gift! I also love your Indian Peacock, the colors are so vibrant. I look forward to seeing your progress! Happy Stitching!
