Click on the pic above to find out what Gifted Gorgeousness is all about whilst meanwhile I will show you my May GG.....

Okay, first up is my finished Republican Elephant, this was a gift from my dear friend, Sarah from Sarah in Stitches, when I caught up with her on my January stay in Dubai.

Party Tarts

Plum Street Samplers

28 ct linen

Next up is what is going to be my New Start for New Start Sundays and that is this absolutely gorgeous design that I bought from 123 Stitch with the voucher that I won from Jo from Serendipitous Stitching, who, of course, is the hostess of this wonderful GG!

Three Little Kittens by Ink Circles

Don't you just love this design?  So perfect for me?  I am going to make the Mama Cat and kittens match the four cats that I have had the privilege to live with over the past twenty odd years. The Mama Cat will be a Cameo tortoiseshell just like my lovely dearly departed Coco Chanel #5. Then the three kittens will be Furio (ginger), Milo (tabby) and Nobu (tuxedo), of course.

Thank you, Jo, for the voucher.

Please come back for my IHSW post tomorrow to see what progress I make on this piece today.

Gifted Gorgeousness 2018_ March Update

Yay! Pretty much on time for Gifted Gorgeousness this month!

Up first is a bit of a shoehorn GG project - Linen and Threads 2018 Mystery SAL which is a freebie on their website (hence the shoehorn into GG). I have been watching lots of wonderful cross stitchers make a start on this and I finally couldn't resist.

Here is my take on the design so far:

If you want to see what others are stitching, you can follow on the FB group here.

My second GG is my Americana SAL project: the Democratic Donkey, one of the Party Tarts by Plum Street Samplers, part of their Jack's Sweet Shoppe Series.

This was gifted to me by the gorgeous Sarah (from Sarah in Stitches) when we caught up on my recent stay in Dubai.  Thank you again, Sarah.

Gifted Gorgeousness 2018_ February Update

Just squeezing in my GG for this month - less than eighteen hours before the Mister Linky expires for February!!!!!!!

Only one GG project this month - the Americana design, Party Tarts by Plum Street Samplers, part of their Jack's Sweet Shoppe Series.

This was gifted to me by the gorgeous Sarah (from Sarah in Stitches) when we caught up on my recent stay in Dubai.  Thank you again, Sarah.

As you can see, I have opted to stitch the Democratic Donkey first and then it will be the Republican Elephant.  So cute!
