I do have a few exciting GGs to show you this month....
First up is this gorgeous Italian Christmas Cross Stitch magazine, which my darling Giuseppe (one of TraderVic's Sicilian cousins, who is my Sicilian soul mate) gave me as a parting gift. I will treasure his thoughtfulness always.
Here is a sample of some of the gorgeous designs in it - I can't wait to get started on ALL of them - lol!
Next up is a very special Gifted Gorgeousness! On our recent overseas trip (and I promise to post more pics soon), we had a three day stopover in Dubai on our way home to Oz. So, I was lucky enough to catch up with my long-time online bloggy, stitchy friend, Sarah, from Sarah in Stitches.
We had such fun catching up and Sarah was kind enough to gift me with a tin of sewing goodies - mainly with an Americana theme (as that is one of my favourite themes for stitching).
Love, love, love this sweet little cushion...
Haven't I been spoilt? Thank you so much, dear Sarah. It was such an absolute pleasure to meet you in person and I hope that you come visit me in Australia one day!
My last entry for GG this month is a bit of shoehorn but we all love a good shoehorn, don't we?
This is a nice package that was waiting for me when I got home. Last year I signed up for The Silver Needle's "A Little Help From Our Friends Stitching Cirlcle!". Every three or four months, a lovely little package of goodies arrives with a design especially made for the club plus the fixings to make it plus some other special gifties. This package was especially delightful!
So, that is me for GG - this post has taken me over a week to write as I have been dealing with jetlag, going back to work (hmmm! gotta pay for my trips and stash somehow!) and some surprise overseas visitors from Taiwian coming for a lightning visit (my DDIL's mother arrived Wednesday night and her brother tonight (Saturday) but my DDIL leaves for Brunei (to join DS1 who has taken a teaching job there) on Tuesday and the guests don't leave until Wednesday! So, as usual it is all go! go! go! here in Eaglemont.
But, just a reminder,
