Look what arrived today! Neil's cross stitch. I have to give a great big thank you to my mom – without her help this project might still be unfinished. Plus it's pretty special that we both get to put our initials on it.
With Ben's cross stitch I was pretty ambitious and did a lot of it it while I was pregnant with him. When Neil's turn came I didn't have as much free time. Good thing otherwise this would have had frills and flowers. So I didn't start this until after he was born and thanks to some encouragement from June, my sister-in-law, my mom and I did manage to finish it. (June told me she didn't finish a project for Gwen until she went to kindergarten, so I'm feeling pretty satisfied with 2 1/2.)
Another thank you goes to our friend Ruth Yheulon who always does a beautiful framing job. She's spoiled me with her workmanship, the things I've had done at Joann's or Michael's are definitely not the same quality.
