Show and Tell Monday

I love making Bespoke creations, sitting down with a client, hearing their dream of a special gift or card, turning the dream into a reality and seeing their faces when the gift is finished.
This week has been no exception, although for a family friend,
I always add a bit of love to my creations.

A special gift for a lady who will be 90 in July.

What can you give a delightful 90 year old lady? I decided to make a rose patterned apron with complimenting check pockets. Brenda is active at her church, helping with the morning coffee and lunches, so felt this would suit a lady always ready with a smile.



Her card is machine embroidered with a butterfly and rose theme



Don't forget I can make most gifts or cards that are stitched,
just use the bespoke service on my website.

Two sites I would like to flag this week as well worth a visit:
