June Gifted Gorgeousness

The 15th of the month is when we post on the lovely Jo's blog for a Gifted Gorgeousness update. For this blog SAL we post about things we have received as gifts or are stitching as gifts for others. Stop over to this post to see what everyone has shared this time. Let's see what I can post about this time around...

I finished up Mom's May and June pillows with the Nautical theme. I've posted the photos several times now in a row so I will spare you guys with more pictures of the same thing.

I worked on Wish Upon a Starfish in this span which was a gift from my mom to remember our trip to California because we loved seeing all the starfish in the ocean along the coast...
I also just started Adjust your Sails which was a gift from Bridgette. I will be posting the photo for that tomorrow for my Monday update though so please stay tuned for that.

Over the weekend though I received an awesome gift I would like to share with you...
My close friend Sam that went to Vegas with us made this diamond painting for me. She knew I love dolphins. I also love purple and there is so much beautiful purple in this design. She fell in love with diamond painting a bit ago and I keep picking on her asking if stitching is next haha. I need to find a frame for this so I can display it.

I'll be back tomorrow for a Monday Update. See ya then.

Thanks for taking part in GG this month. Nice progress on the Starfish and a beautiful gift from your friend. Diamond painting does not appeal to me at all as a hobby. I'll stick with my rocks if I need a distraction LOL.

The starfish evolves great. The dolphins will look great framed. AriadnefromGreece!

Bring on the starfish, it's coming along beautifully.
What a lovely gift from your friend, I hope you frame it soon!

Great work on your star fish =) I love the diamond painting, it reminds me that I should probably dig up mine again :D

The starfish is growing well.
What a lovely gift, delightful colours in it.

Lovely gifts this month, especially considering there are also a few more you haven't shown. The tropical dolphins are gorgeous... wonder if there is a cross stitch pattern of it??? :)

I love dolphins too 🐬 Diamond painting is something I've only come across recently but it seems to be taking off - I've never seen one in person. There's a designer I follow on Instagram - Wending Designs (her Facebook is here) - who is converting her own cross-stitch patterns into diamond paintings and the results are fascinating!
