... to have received such a wonderful PIF from Cindy , I didn't get one PIF I received 2. Cindy made me a gorgeous beaded fob with the most beautiful pimk glass beads and a butterfly charm and I found out from her that she had made it herself - I think she is going to post a tutorial soon on how to make them its really lovely.
The second fob to show that Cindy made is a beautifully stitched one by The Sweetheart Tree and its called Cherry Blossoms fob, its so lovely, I love the colours and the pretty beaded edged its really lovely.
I took close up pictures of both the front and the back of the fob, and you can see a closer look at all those wonderful Algerian Eyelet stitches and the pretty coloured thread that Cindy used.
Thankyou again Cindy for both of these wonderful fobs.
I am still busy stitching the Elizabethan pocket I'm 3/4 of the way through it now and I really love it, it seems to have taken me longer than normal to stitch this small project and I can't figure out why, but I am really happy with the way its turning out.
I started my new job yesterday and everyone is so nice - I think I am going to enjoy working with them, I'm the only female amongst 8 men, but they seem to be a good bunch.

What a fabulous PIF from Cindy! She's a talented stitcher and here she's made a beautiful beaded fob also! Congrats :)
I'm ever so glad that you have started your new job and its going swimmingly! Sometimes, I find it easier to work with men than women, so maybe you'll find it the same!
These are beautiful fobs for sure :-)) Cindy's stitching looks lovely :) Glad the job will be nice too
That is just the prettiest little thing! Enjoy! Glad the new job is going well!
Such beautiful gifts! Cindy does lovely stitching, and I love the beaded edge on the stitched fob. I hope she does post a tutorial on how to make beaded fobs.
Glad to hear you like your new job.

Su, what really lovely PIF gifts. The fobs are so unusual and really complement each other. I love the algerian eye stitches and the gorgeous beaded edging. I would love to know how to do that. It finishes off the fob perfectly.
Hope to chat to you soon :>)
Warm hugs, Angela

They're both lovely! Enjoy them Su. Patti
Those fobs are absolutely gorgeous.
I'm looking forward to seeing the stitcher's pocket.
I just needed to post again to thank you for your lovely embellished bag tutorial a few months back - I used the instructions to finish a piece for the SBEBB this past week. Mine didn't turn out as nicely as yours, but I'm going to keep practicing!
Su, I'm so glad the job seems to be going well. Nothing could make for a happier year for you! The fobs are darling. Great stitching! Hugs, Deb
What marvelous fobs! I hope you continue to enjoy your new job.
Beautiful, Beautiful PIF to have received from Cindy. Hope your year is so much better than last year. My love to you Patti xxx
Both of your new fobs are so pretty. You are very lucky indeed!

What a beautiful PIF...both of them.
Best of luck with your new job.
Wow, that is exquisite and it fits you to a tee!
Glad that your job is starting well.
I must say that is the MOST beautiful fob I have ever seen!! Lucky you being on the receiving end of it, for sure. I just love all your stitching and reading your blog. Keep up the good work!
Hugs,

This is SO beautiful !! I really like it :-))
Hi Su! Both fobs are so pretty. I just sat up until midnight making a few beaded fobs. Once you get started, it is hard to stop and I need one for a swap gift. The charm are yours is so pretty and delicate. With the great work on the hardanger stitched fob, I think it would be hard to pick a favorite of the two. Enjoy them!
