Hello friends ! Hope you had a lovely weekend . A warm welcome to all my new follower friends :) but unfortunately , I wasn’t able to reach few of you as I could not find your blog name or mail id .
I completed my cross stitch border on the towel which was part of my
turtle trot project . The floral border looks small but it was very time consuming changing shades frequently . The third flower is grey in color as per the chart I used which is available for free
here. I loved the outcome very much :)
Also , I wanted to share the gifts I got last month for my Birthday from Raj though he doesn’t agree to display those :) I was waiting for one online gift to be delivered.
 |
| Fancy necklace and bangles :) |
 |
| Earrings, they are my weakness !! |
 |
| Three boxes of chocolate!! :) |
Other two boxes I ate and threw; this one being a tin box, I kept it.
 |
| A Crystal pair of Swans :) |
This is the same crystal on the first image. It is difficult to take picture of it from a proper angle.
Some crafty gifts , which he doesn't like to give as a gift but since that makes me happy , he added in his list ! I was desperately looking for some organizers to keep my embroidery threads , he got these for me .
 |
| A Dimensions cross stitch kit - 'Kitty Litter' and some fancy paper craft wooden clips :) |
I received the kit two weeks after my B'day and I am planning for a SAL with Elisabeth from
Elizy art who has got the same kit as gift from her mom . After seeing so many shades of threads , I am kind of scared !! :)
Hope you liked my cross stitch :)
Happy week ahead!!
Preeti :)
I was scared when I saw so many threads too :) It's a good job that they are pre-sorted! I can't wait to start our SAL!

ReplyDeleteHi Preeti, Your cross stitch work is exquisite! The online jewellery is cute too. So thoughtful of Raj to get you just the things you need...lucky you. Best of luck for your SAL...enjoy! Saw some beautiful earrings on indiebazar, now I think I will go ahead and order them. After seeing this post I have promptly hidden the same towels that I have, with exactly three stitches worked on them, deep into my drawer. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Sangeetha, I am glad you liked it:) the jewellery wasn't ordered online, he personally purchased it. The cross stitch kit is the only one that was ordered online:)
