In the last week both the bookmark that I was worried about from the Needlcraft Haven Spring Bookmark exchange, and my Blogoversary draw gift have arrived safely with their recipients, so I can now show them on here.
My bookmark exchange partner was Maria (no blog as far as I know), and I stitched this for her, adapted from a L*K design.
My Blogoversary draw winner was Kate. I stitched a strawberry for Kate using a design from Katherine's blog, and made a corsage brooch from a lemon yellow zip, and also included some stash.
In other news my "baby" turned 17 last Friday. When did I get old enough to have a 17 year old?
Well, in point of fact I was getting on for old enough to have a 17 year old when I had said 17 year old, but thats beside the point ;D
Anway here she is. My big girl
Such pretty gifts! The bookmark is so cheerful, and stitched strawberries are always a favorite of mine, and I love the yellow zipper flower!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your daughter - she is beautiful!
Lovely bookmark. Nice gifts too. Happy birthday to your dd. She looks so sweet. x
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that you are old enough to have a 17 year old daughter either. She is such a lovely young woman.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely gifts you've created, Christine! I'm sure both recipients are thrilled...

ReplyDeleteOh My! That strawberry worked out quite well, didn't it. Beautiful! And so is your lovely daughter! Imagine telling people you have a 31 year old. They look at me with big eyes and I laugh and say that I was eight when I had him. You should try it!
