Stitchy Christmas presents

Post by Mabel Figworthy »

Only one this year (but as among the other presents was a lovely set of opal pendant and earrings from DH I'm not complaining!)

Youngest gave me a very useful selection of threaders, which should cover pretty much any occasion except for the finest beading needles; the long ones I mean to use to work in tails when I'm trying to use up the last bit of a thread (like the star detailor).

The opals are beautiful, as are you!

The threaders look like they will cover all eventualities...

What beautiful opals and a lovely setting too! I think they are one of my favorite gemstones. They always look a little bit different depending on the light. Thanks for sharing!

Well, you couldn't possibly look glum when wearing opals and being photographed by the giver :-)
