GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 02/22

It's always nice to make gifts, nice too to receive some

and use them in our stitching projects.

It's great and fun to show all this and the perfect place is

on Jo's blog Serendipitous Stitching on the 15th of each month

for the Gifted Gorgeousness post.

Pattern and paper were gifts for my birthday, here is my last update.

Tricot / Knitting

The project "from crocheted shawl to knitted blanket"  for DD3.

End of 2021 score was 73 pieces, add 11 more knitted squares, no more wool

so I'm reaching a total of 84.

Voilà un bout de Boo !

Feutrine / Felt      Gift for Soline

Autour de l'étang...

I was preparing a tree trunk

Cartonnage

I've got two birthday cards to send this month and I have chosen the garden theme because I wanted to add as a gift some nasturtium seeds. The flower's name in French is capucine and Capucine is the firstname of my grand daughter. 

I have some in my garden and I want to offer some to my goddaughter and my friend Roselyne for their own gardens.

I selected the U shape pattern and made garden aprons, small tools, cut some flowers, magazines, seeds bags, a watering can,  made felt carrots, green peas,  wood trellis and some felt climbing plants. 

Finally, I had too many accessories for my five "walls" and no enough place for the carrotts behind the grass. So I made a basket to stick under the apron in which I'll collect 2 carrots and 3 peas (instead of climbing peas).

Initialement les carottes devaient trouver leur place derrière la frise d'herbe et les petits pois grimper sur un support.

J'ai finalement opté pour un panier posé sous le tablier recevant ma récolte.

These flowers pages have been bought long long time ago, I'm glad to use them today.

I thought that a macramé hanging could be a nice decoration. After two different attempts knotting wollen threads, one was ok for a common small felt pot and as the second one was narrower I made a kind of vase which will receive some roses.

I add some glitter (what would be life without glitter).

Perfect wood planks for shelves.

Here is the second card a little smaller.
