A gift

Been meaning to post this picture since my trip to Kluang. It's a diary that dearest Mel surprised me with. Made from scratch, the cross-stitched cover all the way down to each page leaf! I'd bought this pattern from Nakhon Sri Thammarat 2 yrs back whilst on a mission trip, thinking that I'd have the time to stitch it as a reminder to "Slow down and enjoy God's work". As it ironically turned out, I didn't, thus sent it to Mel to make for herself... but she gave it back to me instead!! Sweetie! :)
