Well I think she is!! But then I am biased!!! 80))
My Mum has many talents, she knits, she can make clothes and also she makes fabulously beautiful cross stitched pictures, cards and other bits and bobs over the years.
Last weekend a friend was getting married to her long term partner (finally) and I asked Mum if she would stitch a sampler for her. She loves pink and so that was the main colours in the sampler.
Well I think she is clever, and Josie really liked it.
I helped her reverse the heart design at the bottom so it could go in both corners, I choose what I want on it, the words and the colours and then she does the rest.
I got a silver frame for it and popped it in .... jobs a good un!!
Thanks Mum xx

If you read my post of 12th May you will have seen I made some beads to match the dress my friend Rosemary was going to wear for a Wedding she was attending in June. The dress had lots of blues in it on a cream background, the beads were absolutely fine but they never really jumped out when put up against the dress!!
Now, on a closer inspection of the design on the dress I found some other colours that weren't so obvious but would stand out more so, when worn!
Back to the drawing board I went!!
I love the matching game!! I found some colours that seemed to work and here is the end result
Smoky Blue Trails
I teamed it with sterling silver and I created all the clasp hooks and ear wires. I did enjoy creating this set as it is all my own work other than the chain and silver spacer beads, it was fun putting it all together, this was the main reason behind taking up lampworking in the first place.
Rosemary seemed pleased with them all, as this was her birthday present (all being a bit late) and I was pretty pleased too as all the large smoky purple beads are encased with smoky grey transparent glass, I seem to be mastering encasing!!! Yay!!!
Happy Bunny!!!
