NPNT # 3

Well better late than never. Another busy week which means everything piles up at home but it also means that I get to stitch during my lunch breaks. Here is what I have finished this week.

"Tea Party" and the saying on the back of this reads "You're my cup of tea. May your days be steeped with joy and warmed with love."

Don't all the little cakes, slices and sandwiches look just good enough to eat?

The other design I stitched was "Roses" and the saying for this one is "May your life be full and complete like the blooming of a rose".

This is about as close as I will get to a bunch of roses unless I buy them for myself. Thankfully the house we have moved into has at least 20 rose bushes in the garden all different colours. I will have to borrow my daughter's camera again so that I can show you some pictures.

Talk again soon,

Jeanette.

A finish for Jonathan

When I was rummaging through my stash this week I found a Charles Craft baby bib and decided to make a little gift for my new nephew Jonathan.

I got the patterns for the alphabet and hearts here. I started stitching it on Friday at work during my lunch break and finished it yesterday. I put some red and white star print on the back to cover my stitching and gave it to him last night to welcome him home.

I also gave him this card which I made in a class a while ago. It is also in a bib shape so I thought that was appropriate. It is hard to see in this photo but there is white ric rac around the edge of the card and across the top of the "pocket".

And here is a picture of my son William holding his little cousin. He is so happy to have a new friend to play with in the future.

Well I better get back to my NPNT stitching, a birthday present for my other nephew, a birthday present for my ex-Mother-in-law, a year 10 graduation dress for my daughter, and Christmas presents for everyone......fa la la la la.

Talk again soon
