Gifted Gorgeousness - August 2020 Edition

I was debating about putting the last one as its own post because it's so exciting to have finished it! My first ever HAED finish! But I'll put it in here and work on FFO'ing it for Rachel's FFO post next month. My dad is having a big birthday this year, so I think it will be a good gift. He does love tigers. I also debated keeping it, but I think I'd like to pass it on. I have others I want to finish and put up in our house too. I swear Pattern Keeper is amazing. This never would have been finished without that app. 

I hope you've all had good months! I plan on getting another post up soon with plans for the rest of the year now that we're almost out of August and I feel that I've caught up on some things I wanted to work on. 

Happy Stitching! and stay well!

  1. So glad to see you are ok; almost started to worry when you didn't post for a while:D I know you mentioned that storm for example...

    So many lovely projects! The tiger is amazing; well done on finishing your first HEAD!!! I stitched a tiger head too at one point, and it is one of my favorite finishes so far:D And the Christmas Dimension picture will be soo cute when it's finished!
    Take care <3

  2. Thanks for taking part in GG this month, we missed you but at least you have lots of goodies to share with us this month. At least if you give the tiger to your Dad you will still see it when you go and visit!
    Your rose for Clare is beautiful. I am so looking forward to seeing her tree this year.

  6. Not only was it lovely to see a fantastic Happy Dance in your GG for this month but also nice to see something not being stitched for DD! I'm wondering how many of these projects are 'really' being stitched for DD, or whether she's a convenient excuse?!!! But seriously, well done on so much progress, and huge congratulations on taking the plunge and finishing your first HAED. :)
