Christmas Presents Part 2 - Cross Stitched Gifts

So here are the other gifts I made. I think I showed progress photos of these while I was in Australia as that's where i stitched them all. I just finished them off when I came to Portugal because that's where i'd left my ribbon and stuffing. The little tins I bought in Australia at Lincraft (really fantastic hobby shop, wish we had something like that here in Portugal). So here you can see the front and backs of each item. The top one I made for my gran, the middle one I made for my aunt and the bottom one on the right i made for my mum as her star sign is a ram and she loves sheep, so i thought it very fitting. Actually the tin is really appropriate for my gran, as she actually has one of the original Singer sewing machines depicted on the tin. She got it when she was 12 years old and went into apprenticeship as a seamstress. It still works and it's well over 60 years old. I'm definitely keeping it, or my mum is anyway. I love working on that one as you have to peddle to get it to work, seeing as i'm still a novice at a sewing machine (my mum usually does all that for me), this one is great because i can decide the speed I'm going to go at.
