Gifted Gorgeousness for May

Is it time for Gifted Gorgeousness already? This month has just flown by.
In case you don't know Gifted Gorgeousness is a Blog Hop run by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching where we show anything we can even vaguely describe as gift-related  our gifted crafts and crafted gifts.
This month I have two projects to show. The first is this little hoop with embroidery and felt flowers which I made as a birthday gift for my friend.


The second is actually some cross stitch! Yes, honestly, I've actually completed a piece of cross stitch - must be the first time in absolutely ages. This is "Bless This House - Mos Eisley Edition" by Hard Core Stitch Corps, stitched on Crafty Kitten Belfast linen in Champagne Bubbles. It is going to be a gift for my daughter Eloise, I just need to get it framed.

    Two very pretty pieces, and finishes too!
    Was the hoop from a pattern, or did you design it?
    I like the border-like patterns on Eloise’s!
    Great stitching!
    Hugs, Barbara xx

    Thanks for taking part in GG this month. The wreath is lovely; Happy Whatever!
    Also love the Bless This design. Maybe if my son ever moves out I will stitch it for him!

    The flower hoop is lovely, and the cross stitch wonderfully nerdy. Love it!
