A blog trying to focus on all the nice things in life, those moments when everything turns out right. Finding the perfect fabric for that chart you love, the ideal sampler quote, just the right picture in all the 1000s of magazines you own. Meeting people who share your interests and obsessions and totally understand why you NEED that chart when you already have enough to last until you're 104
Welcome to the May Gifted Gorgeousness link-up. The link-up date continues to be the 15th and I will keep the link-up open until the end of each month so you have plenty of time if you are late posting.
The format remains exactly the same, there is a list of rules on the main sign-up page if you want to check what is required but basically anything connected to the word "gift" is allowed, whether it was a gift TO you or is a gift FROM you.
Once again, for the first fortnight my focus has been Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow. The plan is to stitch this for two weeks each month until it is finished.
"Steaming" along nicely with Block 11, so close to finishing it.

I am continuing with my Dark 13 project which is Mani di Donna's Halloween Sewing Basket. The plan for this one is to stitch it on the 13th of every month.

Now it is your turn to show us your Gifted Gorgeousness for the month. Please use your name or your blog name in the field and NOT the words "May Update" so I can easily see who has linked up this month. And link to the actual post, not just your blog. It is easier if you copy and paste the link, rather than typing freehand.

Finally, it's May so it's time for my annual Just Nan-athon. Here are the first 14 designs I stitched on. Some of these are gifts too:
Wow you have been busy! Look at how far you've come on Hawk Run! Lovely stitching on everything. Look at all those lovely Just Nan projects, she is a lovely designer and you have quite a few of them you are working on. Just beautiful. Always a feast for the eyes to visit your blog! Happy Stitching!
So many cute Just Nan projects-- I only stitched that little bunny in the middle left--just adorable! Love those ghosts in the latest HRH block, too! What a clever design to have them streaming from the locomotive's steam stack :)
HRH is getting so close now, I know I say this every time you show it but it remains true! Also loved seeing the Just Nans again. Any plans to finish some of them outside of Maynia?
Your Halloween at HRH looks amazing, so very close to finishing it! The Halloween Sewing Basket is coming along nicely, that's a tempting one. Go Just Nan! So many lovely pieces to stitch.
