Hi friends! Yesterday was Brian's birthday, and this is what I gifted him!
I would love to tell you what the free pattern is called, but it is all in Russian I believe. You can find it, if you are also interested in stitching it, on a French Facebook site called Le Monde Des Aimants A Aiguilles Et Broderie. The pattern WAS Grumpy Cat. I converted it to look like our Cally cat. 😾 She positively adores Brian. I stitched this one over one on 28ct white evenweave with the called for DMC. I would love to tell you I enjoyed stitching this little gal, by the end, I just plowed through for Brian. It was worth it. He loves it. He did tease, and say to Madeleine, Let's take out the frown and stitch in a happy face." 😼
This is the birthday cake I made Brian yesterday.
To my knowledge, this cake has not been made in our family since the 80's. This is my Great Aunt Ethel's recipe.
Oh the memories! YUM! And isn't it pretty?! As a girl, I always thought of stained glass windows of church when she brought this.
This is a VERY belated birthday gift I made our friend Martina 💝 I used coordinating red fabrics from my stash for the bookmark. "Scandinavian Tree" by Scandinavian Stitches, found in 2013 JCS Christmas Ornaments Issue. I stitched this over one with the called for DMC on 28ct white Cashel linen.
I stitched the Sajou "M" on white evenweave with DMC 321.
I am happy to say Martina likes this and forgave me for being late. She understood my absent mindedness last month, due to family concerns.
🌞🌻August Cubby Shelf Display🌞🌻 These are all stitched over one. Except the little August pillow on top.🍉 Do you see the little poodle laying out in the sun on the beach?🏖️
💐August Corner Shelf💐
I am now stitching a tiny quote. This will put me behind once again on my monthly Ric Rac Row, but, oh well.
We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 2Corinthians 4:8-10
Thank you so much for stopping by and sticking with me. I truly appreciate that. God bless you my friends. I hope you have a wonderful new week. Take good care of yourselves and be safe out there!

Another charming seasonal display! The jar of flowers on the third shelf is my favorite in this set! The picture of Callie turned out darling. So much personality! Or Purr-sonality! :)
