My father has recently retired so I decided to stitch this bookmark for him.

It says "Happy Retirement" and the red carnation is the symbol of freedom in my country. It's the symbol of the revolution that broke us out of the dictatorship, it's known as the "carnation revolution".

The pattern is https://www.etsy.com/listing/4468689374/bookmark-cross-stitch-floral-design (it's "Bookmark Cross Stitch, Floral design, Birth month flowers, January, Carnation" by NeniDesignCrafts)

ETA I had forgotten to add the photo of the bookmark xD

Hey,

I love board games. My son is turning 2yo this week and I was thinking of getting him a board game.

I was looking through Haba my first games collection and both First Orchard and Hanna Honeybee caught my eye.

Which one would you advise? Or would you advice something different.

He has a simpler version of what "here fishy, fishy" looks like (the one he has the fish are laid out in a panel and he has to fish them out and at the end he has to see where they fit, it's pretty fun), so I wasn't looking into that one.

What do you guys think? TIA

ETA I also looked into the Hungry Bear one but I saw a review saying "it felt more like a toy and that I could get a better toy that did the same thing from the store" lol
