Hello Friends,
It's that time of the month when we show what gifts we have been working on or/and what crafty gifts we have received. If you don't know what I'm talking about , check Jo's blog for more info. This is an easy SAL where you have a choice to stitch any designer, color or pattern, just that it should be a gift for someone or gift from someone.
Happy to report that I have something to show this month:
I started a Lizzie Kate pattern on 19th of last month . Here is the progress till now:
The chart was giveaway prize I won on Tiffany's blog and the fabric was received in an exchange with Diya.
I have changed the fabric and colors from the ones suggested in the pattern. I'n using Anchor variegated floss for stitching the design.
I wanted to complete this before posting for GG , however as you can see that's not what happened.
I would like to pass this chart to one of my active blog followers , so if you are interested, leave a comment and spread the word. If you plan to follow me for participating in the giveaway, I accept that you interact thru comments in future.
I will draw a name on my birthday-27th feb and declare the winner in next GG post.I plan to finish stitching the pattern before that :)
An update I would like to share is that I have started working again after a planned break . I now work as a consultant so lesser working hours give me flexibility to manage the house and work properly.
The funny thing is while I was on a break and had so much time on my hands, I couldn't find inspiration to stitch. Now , I try to stitch everyday before going to work-duration varies from 5 mins to 1 hour.
My husband gifted me this cross stitch theme cup for my new office .
Another little handmade gift I got was this coin purse made using a sewing machine by husband's 85 year old aunt . She really inspires me with her zeal to create things at her age.
Not a proper gift but I made this quick card, using a lace heart I won thru a cross stitch giveaway on Instagram, for a secret Valentine's day exchange on Ravelry.
That's it for the GG update.
Its getting hotter here day by day and feels like summer ..not the good kind of summer which people in UK enjoy. 😂
Hope you have a good month with lots of stitching time.

Thanks for taking part in GG this month. I've already stitched the L*K piece (as per my People's Choice post!) but good luck to everyone else.
ReplyDeleteThe mug is great, perfect for a stitcher.
I hope I'm still crafting when I'm 85 too.
Your heart card is delightful. I'm pleased for you that your stitching mojo has returned, and congratulations on your new job.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice gifts! And I had to laugh because I was the same way--when I worked I felt like did more stitching as I used my time more wisely. I hope you enjoy your new job--it sounds like it will be quite flexible which is always good :)
ReplyDeleteGreat GG update, Mini, enjoy your new job.
ReplyDeleteI love your new start! And I am pretty sure I have that chart so no need to include me in your giveaway :) The threads you are using are so pretty! Love your new mug! How perfect! I hope when I am 85 I am still creating things!
ReplyDeleteGreat mugs.
ReplyDeleteLovely colours you are choosing for the Angels project
Great work on everything!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that your passion for stitching is slowly returning :) That L*K looks great! Good luck with your new job.
ReplyDeleteNice start on LK, I like your colour changes.
ReplyDeleteYour husband chose some great mugs for you!
What a sweet bag and card.
Lovely mugs from your hubby! Love the colours you chose on your LK start.
