One Tree Left {Cross-stitching}

Friday, 14 September 2012

I took ONE project on holiday - the Olympics cross-stitch project. I have made ... progress (sort of), way too many beautiful things to see (I will try to post some pictures on the MiH facebook page over the weekend). But I have finished one more tree - which means only one more to go! Did you notice that this one had a little nest, the two little birdies are so cute together!



It is all taking shape, and I am still committed to finish this project soon - which is amazing considering the number of cross-stitch projects I have abandoned in the past. The next tree is actually the smallest of the 3 - so hopefully it should be quicker. Then we enter the bottom phase with squirrels and plants... 


I would like to thank everyone for their support regarding the midwife comment yesterday. Was really touched! I am fine, the baby is fine - he is just not responding to authority - and nor is his Mum - we are going to have a blast together!

 Linking to HANDMADE PARADE today! Check out the other projects...

    The little birds look so nice! Nat, maybe I missed something because I'm kind of MIA from the web these days...I hope that you and the baby are doing fine, take care!

    Just catching up with your posts this week.
    Your cross stitch picture is lovely, your apple cake looks yummy and your midwife is just plain silly (for freaking you out)!
    Hope you and the baby are fine, take care.
