Cecily's Stunning Finish & a Birthday

Gayle posted here on the 23rd July about Cecily's stunning embroider.

Last Tuesday 13 August, Cecil brought her FINISHED PROJECT.

Isn't that just GORGEOUS.  It is a project keeper/caddy that Cecily informed me will hold her cottons & hand sewing project. 

 Every surface has stitching

 and as lovely as the inside is, check out the outside.  Every little diamond square has a pearl bead sewn into it.  It is so tactile.  Debra said it reminded her of a faberge egg, with a 'surprise' on the inside.

 And as for a Birthday - Victoria came to craft to celebrate her Birthday.  As we did not know it was a special day, she even brought her own cake with her.

I am fairly sure I will get in trouble for posting these photos, but I think they show the real Victoria and her beautiful spirit and smile.

 and the yummy, yummy, yummy caramel mud cake.

We hope your enjoyed your Birthday night with us Victoria.
