Well I just found out one of my friends back home is pregnant so I decided while I have time I should stitch up a little something for her. I decided to go with this pattern:
Its Up, Up & Away by Lori Gardner
I think it is pretty gender neutral...Thinking of changing the pink patch on its elbow to a green but other than that I think it could work for either boy or girl.
I think I will end up finishing it off as a wall hanging and getting some tone on tone yellow or green fabric and some cute buttons to put where the fabrics meet up.
What does everyone think? I am still figuring out what fabric I want to stitch it on. I was thinking blue 32 count but now I am thinking the blue would clash with a yellow or green fabric. I think I might have to stick with it on white.....I do have some green I think I could stitch it on but now I am thinking that that would be too much green.
that is very cute and I think Karen's suggestion of a pale yellow fabric is a good one. It wouldn't clash with any other colors that you mention and goes with either a little boy or a little girl.

great start too. Enjoy the stitching and the hockey game. Sounds like a perfect combination to me.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone I have been working on it for the past hour and this is how far I am:
It is coming along quickly I wouldn't be too surprised if I finish it tomorrow afternoon if I keep stitching it!
I was thinking though...it might look better as a bookmark. Its long and skinny so I might be able to back with some fabric...What is everyone's thoughts on that? I think it would make for a cute keepsake but I don't know if that would be useful at all!
Oh and Hockey is on at 4:30...GO CANUCKS!!! heheh..
great progress on your teddy. He'll make a great bookmark too.
