Happy Birthday from Daddy

Blue Magi



Detail at the hem

Thanks to my Daddy for giving me that perfect green stuff for my birthday.  Today at The Needle Works I purchased this handsome fellow.  Hopefully, I will receive more of these Nativity pieces from Heartstrings for Mother's Day.

Cumberband
I think needlepoint cumberbands are making a comeback.  I remember when my daddy had one.  My friend's twenty something son want her to stitch one for him.  I think this one is very handsome.  Would your man wear one?

  1. My husband always wears cummerbunds with his tuxedo. River Silks has an awesome picture of a cummerbund that Paul, the owner's husband (now deceased) designed and stitched for himself.

    Can't wait to see what your cummerbund looks like. Does your husband wear them?

    1. My husband would not wear a needlepoint cumberband. I think maybe the next generation.

  3. That was great Steph. As for the cumberband: why for men only? There was a time women wore them too. I'd wear one, especilly if needlepointed

    1. I have never heard of a woman wearing a cumberband. Do you suppose it would hold my stomach in?

  4. Hi Steph,
    What a wonderful gift. Love the Magi and cannot wait to see what magic you work on him. Hope you get another piece of this Nativity for Mothers Day.
    Just seven days to go until Amy's.

    1. Counting the days? I completely understand. I am counting the months until I return next March.
