H A P P Y ~ B I R T H D A Y ~ NAADI!

[birdsofshore]

Dear naadi,

I'm sorry this is so little, and a day late, to boot, but I just wanted to make you a little thank you for all the lovely work you do in running the art fest, and for your own gorgeous creations which give me and many others so much pleasure.

"The stories we love best do live in us forever" is one of my favourite quotes from JKR about the series, and to me it definitely applies to the stories that we fan writers and artists make, too. I know the stories that your art tells will stay with us. ♥

If you'd like to let me have an address I can send it to, that would be lovely!

I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday and are enjoying what's left of the weekend.

♥ ♥ ♥



P.S. I have no idea why the photo wants to make itself sideways, but after 5 mins fiddling, I am just going to give up and let it be. Please excuse the dreadful chainstitch! It was done with love, but you can see the bits where the kids were being particularly distracting (blaming kids = good plan :D)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Oh, this is adorable! Thank you so much, dear birds!! *hugs tight* I love the quote you picked and really, I am blown away that you even thought of doing this for me. I don't need to excuse a single stitch - handmade is handmade and loved more for being so. I will PM you my address, because OMG yes!! I would love to have it. :DD

THANK YOU!!! <33333333333333333333333

You are so very welcome. It's hard to make anything for someone who is such a gorgeous artist, especially when I have two left thumbs, but I knew the gesture would mean something to you <3

It will make me happy to send it to you, yay!

Oh god that's so cute, I was just saying to my uncle the other day that I wish I had a creative talent. My hubbie is a musical god, he can literally pick up any instrument and in ten minutes can play something that sounds like music. I have no creative talent other than admiring other people who do have it, am very jealous :-)

[birdsofshore]

Ah, you're sweet. Anyone could do this, it's really basic stuff (and yours would probably turn out neater than this!) Sewing is so nice, it's relaxing and it's fun to see it take shape under your fingers. Why not give it a try!

Your husband's skill sounds something special.

I've tried sewing buttons on.....they come loose in two days, seriously ! My hubbie is a man of many talents, musical genius, fabulous cook (the kids would starve if it was left up to me, or at least get rickets or something) and he's one of those annoying people who picks up things really fast, if he wasn't so lovely I'd hate him :-) My only talent is reading really fast, I can do a book or two in a day, but to be honest, that's not a talent so much as a skill that keeps me from insanity :-)

[birdsofshore]

Reading fast is a great skill! I used to have that one but now my concentration is shot.

That's me, with the buttons falling off, definitely. I can't sew anything useful. I wish I could knit, also, but I have dyspraxia and even embroidery is a challenge!

[who_la_hoop]

Awww, you are so cute! ♥

[birdsofshore]

I am a cackhanded fool, but naadi inspires cuteness :DD

[firethesound]

Aw, cute! I love embroidery, and that's such a wonderful quote. :D

[birdsofshore]

I love that quote! This turned out so wonky, but hopefully still cute :D

How did your teatowels go?

[firethesound]

Oh, those teatowels. Um, I completely missed my deadline on them. I've got about ten minutes worth of work left to do on the very last one, and for some reason have not been able to make myself sit down and just finish it already. This is fairly typical behavior for me, and no one is surprised. I'd feel worse about it if this were their only wedding gift, but we already got them a lovely gift, so these are sort of a bonus.

Wooow!!The writing!!My god,aren't your hands tired and dying already?! But it must be worth it all because that thing is an absolutely lovely present!!

[birdsofshore]

Aw, that's very sweet of you! The writing is so wobbly and spidery, but I thought it would make naadi smile.

[lokifan]

! That's so great!
