Gifted Gorgeousness link up July 2025

If you came here from Serendipitous Stitching then you will know about the link up and the rules on the item or items being shared having to be in some way a gift and sewing or craft related. if not then this link will take you to the main page of the Link up for more details and to find other participants.

You may recall this from BFF 18 and BFF 18 + I always intended it to be for my BFF as she uses them and for some reason I don't. When I want to have my thread, from a kit usually, on a drop rather than bobbins then I prefer just punching holes in card. Odd but then that is me.

That intent to gift it was also the reason I did the opposite colour way to the one my BFF completed so they would make a pair of sorts.

As it was wood I also always intended to add to it with pyrography.

Doing the little mini scissor Keeper was an unexpected addition due to the fun of the pattern. I did also make a little purple scissor keeper but I don't appear to have taken a picture of that.

It has waited till now to be posted here as it had to wait till it was gifted. 

Once again we have been very late getting together for our official Christmas 2024 and indeed for our joint birthdays 2025.

At least we managed it before another Christmas came and went.

There have been times when we did not.

I have some hopes of managing Christmas 2025 in 2025 !

Oh and a gift to me a suitably themed jigsaw puzzle
