My daughter Lucy made me and others in the family some beautiful cross stitch and embroidered presents this Christmas and so I thought I would use a bit of nepotism and make her my Guest Crafter for today …..
I just do not have any patience with sewing, especially cross stitch and embroidery, to be honest my eyes are rubbish and I can barely thread a needle without my tongue hanging out and going cross eyed …..
….. and then if I get any further all my crisp material and threads start to look grubby and crumpled within seconds!
But as you can see Lucy doesn’t share any of my foibles!
Even her gift tags were cross stitched.
She treated herself to this book on doodle stitching by Aimee Ray and some of the stuff she has done already is just beautiful, I am so jealous!

…. And I almost forgot these ribbon corsages!
This gorgeous little girl is my friend’s daughter Ren. I sent her a bag of crafty bits and pieces after I had a “grande” tidy up day and here she is posting her “Thank You” card for me …… couldn’t you just eat her up? You will notice she is also wearing a gorgeous bracelet “designed and handcrafted” by herself, made with some of the wooden beads that I’d put in her goodie bag.
And this her card, giving me a mahooooosive run for my money …. the front is beautiful and stunning enough, each embellishment carefully chosen and placed with so much care ….. but it’s the inside that made me squeal …..
Oh my life …. I love it sooooo much. It’s now on the window sill in my craft room where I can look at it as I work …. and be inspired! THANK YOU REN for my card and THANK YOU FOR BEING MY STAR GUEST CRAFTER OF THE DAY!!!
