Your stitching is looking really good. look forward too seeing it as it progresses
lol that sounds familiar!!! I haven't even done a birth sampler for my youngest, and she's 5!!!! I'd lost my stitching bug after she was born and it only came back last May....so I figure it's probably a bit late???
Here's another update, I'm finished the cross stitch now, and I've made a start on the back stitch...I'm using a sharp needle which seems to help a bit!!
The blue things at the bottom are safety pins by the way.....

Its looking great! Keep up the good work. I've always found using a sharp needle helps for the back stitch. I should of said so.... Silly me and my pregnancy brain! looking good though!
He's done!!! I can't believe how quick he's stitched up, eve given the nightmare backstitch
I've just got the details to add when baby's here in July....I'm getting him properly framed as well, as I want a specially cut mount to fit round the boxes, and a silver frame.
