A Holiday and Gifted Gorgeousness - November Edit

Gifted Gorgeousness is a SAL organised by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching. On the fifteenth of each month we post about something craft and gift related.
Sally very kindly gifted me this lovely LHN chart "Potted Poinsettia"


I was hoping to have it finished and re-gift the chart in this post but that didn't happen. Stitching time was curtailed this month by a mini-break to Prague. If you've never been I recommend it, it's a beautiful city. Here are a few pictures.





And finally in other craft news, I made another Pinterest inspired felt ornament. This one is supposed to be a Nativity

I believe there may be a special level of hell reserved for those of us who succeed in making the infant Jesus look like some kind of elaborate sea slug.

Thanks for taking part in GG this month. Prague looks lovely and is a great excuse for not much stitching.

The holy sea slug looks fine too.

Haha, doesn't look like a sea slug but that statement did make me laugh.
I have never been to Prague. Thanks for sharing the pics. I especially love the composition of the 2nd one, very clever shot.

I lok forward to seeing Potted Poinsettia completed.

Lol your description of your nativity had me in kinks! Your being a wee bit harsh on yourself though I think baby Jesus just looks very snugly. I've not been to Prague either but would love to go one day especially after seeing your pics

Your photos of Prague are so lovely that I immediately felt the desire to visit. Maybe one day I will be able to see its beauty for myself. Your handiwork is lovely.

You really made me laugh with that sea slug comment. I love when crafters don't take themselves too seriously.

Looks like you had a nice break to visit Prague. Pretty pix.
