Another expertly stitched tapestry for that now long ago Royal Wedding. I had never seen this one before and it turned up on eBay, it's a limited edition tapestry and one I had to have in my collection. The seller absolutely for some reason refused to post to Australia. I wasn't even able to send her a begging email. The only connection in the U.K I was able to ask a huge favour of was a seller I had bought lots of very interesting royal items from over many years. This wonderful seller bought the tapestry for me then posted it on to Australia and I can't thank him enough.
Same seller also covers my parcels with royal U.K stamps so it is always an exciting event when a parcel arrives. Now I have a very interesting collection of stamps some for royal events long gone.
I stitched the two cat cushions soon after my move, I think they look good on my new lounge and were very easy to stitch. The 2 kits came from Ukraine, great to be able to shop the world with the help of PayPal and eBay. The Punch and Judy cat cushion was made from a panel I collected years ago from the U.K.
Yes I finished my 125 piece jigsaw, only took about a week so very proud of myself.
Now I could choose my next project from one of these 1000 piece jigsaws but I won't. I chose one opened the lid saw all those tiny pieces and put the top back on the box. Think I will place a note on the box - not to be opened again in my lifetime.

Well done for finishing that jigsaw puzzle. I think one per pandemic is enough for you. The rest can remain display item only 😁
ReplyDeleteThe cat tapestry cushions are bright and cheerful, just what we need now. And a good tapestry from Prince Charles first wedding, clever way to organise the purchase and delivery. The stamps are an interesting bonus.
Wow, you were very busy ! I love the cat cushions they would fit perfectly on our new black leather sofas ! Yes nobody wants to sent you into another country, they are afraid that the virus travels with the parcel. Here they don't collect cartons and paper anymore because apparently the paper keeps the virus for some days !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the puzzle. Wise choice for the larger puzzle. Wonderful to see how determined you are to get what you want. The tapestry and cushions worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteBravo for getting your tapestry eventually. I used to collect stamps mostly British but I stopped about 5 years ago. I have a box of them somewhere packed away. I've been doing online puzzles to pass the time.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for finishing the jigsaw! Wise decision to defer the others to future generations, lol. I have heard that many eBay overseas sellers refuse to sell to Australia because of of some of our tax and consumer laws. It is great to have friends who will do that for you. Love the colourful cat cushions:-)
