Thankful

Hi
 
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK but I am absolutely chuffed to have been at my baby brother's wedding last week.
 
And as it was in America, here's my Thanksgiving photo.
 
It was a joy to be part of such a fab day -
and I got through my reading without weeping ... or at least I can pretend I did, as you can't see my face!

The groom is my brother Yoda, the best man is my brother Qui Gon Jinn - I just might still owe him
a dressing gown!

 
 Now you'd be forgiven for thinking nothing gets made around these
here parts but here's a 'twofer'
 
 

I finished the Princess Bride cross-stitch that I made for a wedding present -
we were banned from buying gifts but handmade is better :)
 

Please excuse the flash, in the current dark weather I couldn't seem to avoid it.

 
And I'm not the only crafter around here either - these are the personalised cufflinks my husband made as a gift
 
He spent ages taking apart a vintage typewriter (it really was beyond repair) and cleaning
everything up to make these for the wedding party , I think they turned out brilliantly

  2. The cross stitch is gorgeous. I've still got my eye on the Dr Who ones I found after you first posted about this.

    Love the cufflinks too, what a great idea.
