If you read my personal blog then you know I'm expecting our second little kiddo (a boy!) in just a few weeks now. If you remember my pregnancy with my first then you know that I developed an aversion to crafting. This time around I wouldn't necessarily say that I developed an aversion to crafting, but I certainly didn't have any extra energy to spare in those first few months! So that along with a general lack of motivation and...well, happy half-birthday to me!
I thought I would start off by showing a little cross-stitch project for my great-niece (Yes, I'm a great-aunt and a Great Aunt!) I have loved making these for my nieces and nephews through the years and now I get to start on the great-variety as well. The kit is from Bucilla and I think it is absolutely adorable.
(By the way, if you are an avid cross-sticher like I am, then check out 1-2-3 Stitch. This is a web-based company but is local to where I live. They offer locals the ability to just go pick up there orders from the outlet so you don't have to pay shipping and handling. I opted to do this for another project I ordered, but when I found that my time was more valuable than cost, I sent them an email asking if they could just change my order to a delivery and charge me shipping/handling. They not only changed my order per my request but said, "Don't worry about paying extra, will just send it at no cost." Awesome!)
Here is my version of the project. Out of respect to the mommy I am blurring out Baby M's name:
I love all of the little details!
I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it. I am currently working on one for my oldest daughter. I have another one for my great-nephew born in December. And of course there is my second little kiddo. That gives me 8 weeks to get them all done.
