Gifted Gorgeousness June Link-up Post

     

Welcome to the June 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.

Block 11 was finally completed at the start of the month so I could move on to Block 12, the last block of all

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.

I made some lovely progress on the Elements from Circle Cross' Tarot design and completed the fourth one - Water.

Now I intend to stitch each Zodiac sign in the relevant month underneath their Element.  We are currently in Gemini which is an Air sign to that will be the next one I start.  Probably over IHSW which starts this Friday.

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 "June 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, a gifted papercraft project for our lovely friend June, also known as Butterfly or the Queen of the Garden!  I made this hexacard following a tutorial by a YouTuber called 4GirlsStoleMyHeart and used black cardstock and an old calendar of RHS gardens.  I added some little butterfly stickers and then (after I took my photos) I added some Flower Fairies but you can't see them here!
