November Gifted Gorgeousness

Welcome to my November Gifted Gorgeousness post.  The lovely Jo over at Serendipitous Stitching hosts this challenge, that we stitch on or with things that have been gifted to us or that we are gifting to others.  You can find out all the information on her blog (click here).   I've not had a lot of time lately to stitch, lots have been happening here at DJ's Digs.  I was able to finish up Moana, a gift for my oldest Granddaughter (did I say oldest?  Why YES, I did!)  While her parents were waiting the arrival of their second child, they moved Little Miss Sassy Pants out of the nursery, into her own room.  She has a new bed...and a new dresser!  So I stitched this over one to make it small enough to sit on her dresser, eye level so she can see it up close.  This was by Neni Designs.  She loved it so much, she ran upstairs to her room to put it on her dresser, then sat on her bed to stare at it for a while.  I got lots of hugs and thank yous!  She's such a sweetie!!  

I have been working on gifts for a few people this past 30 days or so.  I will be sending these out soon!  First is Merry Ewe by Plum Street Samplers.  It was too big for how I had intended it to be finished so I'm exploring new ideas...hopefully by next GG I'll have it fully finished and on it's way.  

Next is To My Friend Pinkeep Stack by Stacy Nash, only I don't think I'll do the whole stack right now...lol.  I just thought this was lovely and hope my friend likes it.  This is another I'm not sure how I'll finish...I'll have to put my thinking cap on soon!  

Next up are Mr. and Mrs. Gobbleton.  This pattern was a gift quite some time ago.  I had hoped to fully finish them in time for Thanksgiving...I still have hope...lol.  I thought I would stitch them separately, then put them in tart pans.  They are too small for the pans I intended, and too big for the white ones...so I had another idea, but time wouldn't permit me to get them fully finished for today.  Soon!!  I hope to get them done before Thanksgiving!!    

Next was Tie One On by Just Nan, the full kit was a gift from a friend as well.  It was stitched and fully finished in a day!  I love how it turned out!  

And last, though truly the best gift, was the birth of our youngest (so far) Granddaughter!  She was born YESTERDAY!!  Just in time for the GG post...lol.  We still don't know her name but we are so thankful she is healthy and HERE!!   I have a video of how her big sister came to share the news, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to load it on this blog.  Let me just say, it is the cutest video!  Anyway, here are my two beautiful Granddaughters!  My heart is full!!  

And that is all I have for this GG post.  I promise I will be getting those giveaways out in the mail soon!  I just need to get my act together, sometime after Big Sister goes home.  Her parents and sister are still at the hospital...so I'll be letting the winners know when I drop them in the mail.  Happy Stitching!!
