Exchange and Blogoversary Gift and a Birthday Girl

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

I cannot believe that you are old enough to have a 17 year old daughter either. She is such a lovely young woman.

Such lovely gifts you've created, Christine! I'm sure both recipients are thrilled...

And a very happy birthday to your "baby!" What a darling young woman--they do grow up quickly, don't they? My baby is 22 now--truly shocking :)

Oh 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!
