It's time again for Gifted Gorgeousness and time to show off our latest stitches we plan to give as gifts, or have received as gifts, or any other way we can shoe horn into the theme.
This is, as always, hosted by the hostess with the mostest, Jo! Please check out her
blog to see where everyone has signed up and sign up yourself if you'd like.
Let's see what was stitched on since last time, I don't think there were any more Stitch Maynia projects in the last half of May, but I haven't been posting lately and there's at least one finish to show off. :)
4th set of socks, will be for DD
Finished 50th bday gift! The glasses were changed from the original chart to match similar ones in our office.
Found this finished, not FFO while cleaning and finally made it into a card
3rd pair of socks, I read the pattern incorrectly and used tiny needles, therefore ended up with tiny socks that fit DD's doll
2nd pair of socks, on hold while I worked on DD's and the accidental doll socks
Fully finished this one to give as a birthday gift, recipient loves it! Backed with felt and simple hanger.
Finished Hitchhiker shawl for my Mom's birthday
And that's the run-down for last month. I hope you've all had good months. I'm woefully behind in blogs and will see if I can catch up over the summer.
Happy Stitching!

That's a lot of finishes. Very creative ideas to fully finish some of your stitching.
ReplyDeleteI love the tiny doll's socks :)
Thank you! And I like the socks too, despite the mistake that started them. :)
DeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month, the linky post is now up. Love those cute little doll socks! The optician chart is awesome, especially the way you've charted the glasses to match the stock, very clever.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll go add my link. :)
DeleteHaha the doll needed socks too! At least sometimes mistakes work out to be happy little accidents. Great optometrist stitch too. Bet he loves it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, he'll receive it very shortly as today is his birthday. :)
DeleteThat's pretty neat that you can knit. The doll socks are adorable and the Hitchhiker shawl looks great. The eye doc stitch looks pretty good. The perfect gift!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope so. The shawl went over well and the optician stitch will be received shortly. :)
DeleteA GG post filled with delightful things, those tiny socks are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you have been busy.
ReplyDeleteThe Eye Doctor is such a sweet design.

Wow! you got so many finishes done! All of them look great:) Last year, I tried crochet socks for my daughter and lost interest before completing even one. Will try again.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And the foot is definitely kind of a chore. I put the green socks to the side because it felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. I blame DH for having size 12 feet :) But the small socks knit up quickly and I like the shorty socks so it's less knitting overall.
DeleteSo many lovely finishes...love the socks...esp...the little ones.
ReplyDeletePretty stitched chart and wonderful shawl for your mum. Love the tiny socks and wonder if DD will want more for her doll :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all of the great finishes Tiffany.

I was wondering what had happened when I saw 'socks #4' up there, but was glad to discover I am not, in fact, becoming senile, when you began explaining about the others! Great job, I love your tiny socks and all the changes you made to the optometrist pattern.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work on your many projects. So glad you got the bday present for your work friend finished. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteKeith's birthday gift is gorgeous, so clever and funny. Love "collect moments not things" of course but I can't help collecting things too (just in case it could be useful one day!) and your socks are lovely. xxx
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, the socks are adorable! The shawl looks lovely, did your Mom like it?
ReplyDeleteKeith's gift is adorable, I hope he's put it up at work!
Your card and hanging gift look great, I agree to both sentiments. ;)
Thank you! And yes, my Mom liked the shawl and Keith did put up the frame in his office.
