I can tell you, that some of the gifts are "Congratulations! You have said 'I do!' " - gifts. And others are "I am sorry for all the losses you've been through" kind of gifts.

The "I do!" gifts...I seem to be "doomed" to make them one after another. I have one gift I should pick up from my trustworthy Framing Man and another I should stitch like a wind, but no, I've no strength to stitch that fast. I'd want to enjoy the journey, not just run run run without even looking around. Oh well,I do my best to enjoy the journey, even if I am one busy stitcher.

Right too! The present will be even more precious, once it is stitched with care and thoughts :D

Aw, thank you! But that is still a WIP, not a FO. I hope it is a FO soon, though.

Poppy, I don't know the name of this either. I only know this is the 2nd half of 2 - part series. The 1st half has a man and a dog in it.

One surprise is almost a FO. I know the future owner do not see it here. But it is a few stitches away from the meeting with The Local Framing Man. After that the surprise needs a letter to go with it and then to the target it goes!

The flower surprise has been sent to the local Framing Man. He knows what to do. Now I have another WIP.

Thank you!
The dress is one of Finnish folk costumes. I know there are such in other countries too, but that dress that girl is wearing is one example of how Finnish folk costumes look like. I admit I did not stitch the stripes as they should be, but I did the best I could.
