The weather is amazing to spend by the sea but unfortunately we can't as we have to be in the city working and looking after mum so no sea!
I haven't stitched much to show you.
But first what's Gifted Gorgeousness?
So this month I mostly stitched on my Karaghiozis piece which will be added to the collaborative work lots of Greek stitchers are contributing to. I will probably concentrate more on this in winter.
Eleftheria lives on beautiful Molyvos (Mythemna) village which is amazingly built on a cliff overlooking the sea!
And I also received another giveaway win this time from Kaye of Kitten Stitching! Now you know what I will be stitching for Christmas this year. Kaye added some extra gifts!Thank you so much!
But there are some other things I want to show you in this blog post too.They are cross stitch and embroidery related.
We spent four days on Lesvos island with my husband in August. A beautiful big green island with so much to see.
I spotted an old embroidery shop in Mytilini, the capital, covered in embroidery pictures.
Finally here are some vintage craft magazines from the 80s and 90s. Some of them I gave to a friend of mine who will definitely make more out of them than me.

What a beautiful place. Good that you can now finish your Halloween and well done on winning Kate's Christmas chart
Ya te estaba extrañando mi querida Ariadne me gusta conocer por medio de tu blog otros lugares, esos bordados son una belleza y ya vi tu proyecto de Navidad, saludos y cariños para tu mamy
The felted stone is pretty. Mytilini looks interesting. Thank you for sharing your photos of it.
Thanks for taking part in GG this month, I am glad to be able to give you another reason to include the Hallowe'en chart!
The photos of Greece are lovely, such a beautiful country. I really like the pots with the cross stitched designs painted on them. Now I feel inspired to paint a rock with cross stitch!
Your felt stone is fantastic, so original!
You've won some great giveaways, good for you.
Such beautiful photos, and the embroidery pieces are lovely.
Your felted stone is beautiful.
Fabulous pictures from your trip
The museum embroidery is lovely, as are the woven curtains(I'm guessing they are curtains!). Fun magazines for your friend to go through too. :D I love the little cross stitched pot with the lid! What will you keep inside it?
Glow in the dark thread is so fun for Halloween projects. Apparently it comes in colors other that white now but I haven't found any yet.
Wow, what a lovely post! I enjoyed looking at your stitching, and your felted stone! What talent you have!! I also enjoyed looking at your pictures from your island visit. How clever to put cross stitch designs on pottery, I would have bought one too! What a beautiful area of the world you live in!!
I have just savoured the pictures you took of your trips during the summer. Just great and very inviting. These lace and pottery items are so unique. Great craft magazines you found. Even when some of the items in them might be old fashioned, others are timeless. That's my experience with old craft magazines. I always find something I like in them.
Interesting post Ariadne, what a lovely village overlooking the sea and I like the unusual pottery with the cross stitch designs. Gorgeous felted stone and thoughtful gifts from blogger friends. The craft magazines are very useful as one often finds something that inspires.
