First of all, thank you everyone for the kind wishes you've sent for Bob's birthday. He is having a great week [as am I] More on that later...

Among all the post for him was a small envelope for me. My October 2x2 patch from Kirsten. As often happens, we have been thinking along similar lines. As I was making autumn leaves for a cake, she was stitching them.
What a diverse collection of stitches: backstitch, seed, stem, split, chain and satin. And among the regular stranded floss, some rainbow glittering thread to catch the light.
So charming!
And my flat gift was a stack of little origami envelopes each contains a folded sheet of paper [15x15cm] These will make lovely gift tags, or little notelets to tuck inside a greetings card.
Such lovely colours, a joyful,celebration of the season. Maybe you can describe being in our 70s as "the autumn of our lives" - but that is no reason for the days to be dull and colourless and lacking in beauty and happiness...

I'm enjoying the "autumn of my life" and yes, it is just as colourful as the autumn of the year. Those envelopes are lovely (as is the embroidery).

DeleteThe autumn leaves have been beautiful this year. I have brought a few home to identify the trees.
ReplyDelete🍂🍁🍂that reminds me, I pressed some fig leaves earlier in the year. But I cannot remember which book I put them in!!🍂🍁🍂
DeleteLovely, colorful autumn leaves and the little envelopes are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI may use them for little notes to the grandchildren 🍂🍁🍂
DeleteThat's a lovely analogy! The embroidery is so pretty!!!
ReplyDelete🍂 doing the first practice piece is instructive. K's 1st patch ,which she is keeping , is slightly different but equally sweet 🍁
