Hello Friends,
Thank you for the lovely comments on my last post and birthday wishes . My birthday this year was extra special as my brother visited us here in Kuwait and we had a blast . We explored new places in Kuwait, ate good food and talked for hours. Isn't spending time with family the best way to celebrate a birthday?
I know I'm late for the GG post this month as I was saving the post to show you gifts I sent and received .
So here it goes, first are the gifts I received from my craft group for Valentine's day.
Starting from top: Crochet heart from Tammy, Middle one from Z, tiny yellow heart is my attempt to make a knitted heart and was given to DH.
This year I decided not to buy any stitchy gifts for my birthday as I'm trying to finish what I have in my stash. My humble stash of 3 years of cross stitching is nothing compared to what I see here on the blogging land but I have been trying to optimize what I buy and keep in my stash.
DH surprised me with this beautiful photo frame of my stitching finishes . I love it. I have been trying to make a dairy of my finishes with photos of projects and details, so this gift is right up my alley.In the center, it says "Wish you a stitchy year ahead"
Moving on to gifts made
Two small finishes for Tammy's birthday.
As I mentioned I have been optimizing my stash, I conducted a giveaway for a facebook group I moderate. Nothing fancy, few duplicate charts and patterns for cover kits I have stitched.
Last but not the least, is the gift I'm stitching for my bestie. Some progress since my last update , even though I made a big boo boo and I'm trying to work around it .
That's it for this month. Tomorrow starts March Madness for Theme-tas-stich SAL and I will start a few small projects for that.
