March Gifted Gorgeousness

Gifted Gorgeousness is the brilliant idea of Jo to get stitchers to use those things in our stash that have been gifted to us or that we are giving as a gift but we can use a shoehorn as well if we feel like it (and for once I am)

First is the little brooch I made for my Mum for Mother's Day a couple of weeks ago.

Mum loves anything to do with lizards and I've had the kit for this in my stash for a couple of years now just waiting for me to get round to making it for her.

Next is my start on Spring and it's where my shoe horn comes into play :)

I gifted myself the start on it for Mothers Day this year and if memory serves the pattern is from the Gift of Stitching

January Gifted Gorgeousness

Gifted Gorgeousness is the brain child of Jo and is a way to encourage us to use those items in our stash's that have been gifted to us.   It could be a skein of thread, piece of fabric, a chart or maybe it's something being made as a gift (shoehorns are also acceptable)

I decided that it was time I used the silks gifted to me by Daffycat several years ago for Peacock Cypher with the added bonus of always having at least one project that I would be able to use for my GG post each month.

I'm busy with models currently so it's not getting much attention but that will change at some point and I'll get to spend more than a couple of hours on it

Scraping in as ever with a late post for GG :)

I decided this year in the spirit of working from stash as much as poss I would start on something that was at least a gift in some way and here it is.

This ones counts for GG because the silks were gifted to me many moons ago by the lovely Daffycat and it's high time they were put to use instead of sitting in a drawer

I guess I better tell you what the design is hadn't I although I'm tempted not to just to see if any one can figure it out!

It's Just Nan's Peacock Cypher and I'm using the lovely silk on a piece of Sparklies something or other from her mishaps, tests, odd sizes etc box
