After not posting for GG since June!!!!! I finally have an assorted range of goodies to show you.
(Click on the pic above to find out what Gifted Gorgeousness is all about)
First up is this gorgeous Elephant Baby Sampler that I am stitching for my dear friend Marie's (of Sunday walks around Princes Park fame) DD1, who has just had her first baby.... a little boy, Sebastian David....
Some lovely Anchor and DMC floss...
Two pairs of sweet earrings...
Some hot chocolate (which meant that the parcel was opened by Customs to check it out)...
Some wooden cross stitch pieces ...
I was also lucky enough to win a prize in the raffle at a Spring Carnival evening I went to a week or so ago ....
(There were actually two packets of chocolate biscuits plus a bag of chocolate-covered liquorice as well but I gave them to my dear friend Lisa's mother, Barbara, who loves chocolate - the Spring Carnival evening was held at her Nursing Home - it was a wild night, started at 5.30pm and I was home by 7.30pm - lol!)
"Speaking" of Barbara, I was helping Lisa clean out her mother's house (it has been sold to enable her to move into the nursing home) and I managed to score Barbara's buttons. This ice cream container was full of buttons but I managed to fit them nicely into this Twinings tea tin.
There were a couple of extra small containers of buttons, too....
....so they went into this tin.
My favourite tin is the one on the right, which show Collins St, Melbourne c1960s, I think by the design of the cars.
Well, that is all from me for now,
