Found something for the Baby

Well, I couldn't find a kit that I liked, but I did find a cute book and decided to do one of the things from that.
When I went to Spotlight on Friday night the only baby kit that I could find looked even more girly than the rocking horse. So I looked through the little cross stitch chart books and found some really cute teddy bears doing baby things. There were groups of baby bears and single ones doing things like blowing bubbles.

The one is chose is a bear holding a rattle. It looks like it's about to fall over, but is very cute.

Once I decided what I was going to do, I went through the colour list and bought all the colours I would need (even though I knew Mum would probably have most of them at home anyway), the aida cloth (funny story there - I thought I got 14 count, but ended up with 16 count), and the framing bits and pieces.

I started it over the weekend. Check the new progress bar to see how I'm doing.

Baby gift

Ahhhhh!! The baby is a boy!!

Ok, so that really is good news ...

... except that the Rocking Horse cross stitch is a bit to girly to give to a boy. The picture itself would be fine, but the colours are all wrong for a boy.

So now I have to find another cross stitch to do, and do it in a hurry.
