FINISHED!!!

Post by Oiralinde »

Finished! Whew... and just in time. I was worried it wouldn't get finished in time because my DD was screaming most of the day (she is 3 months old, so I forgive her). Luckily she fell asleep and has been out solid tonight. I hope that doesn't mean she wakes up at 4am ready for the day!

Here is the finished piece:

Image

I bought a cute gingerbread man that fits perfectly in the pockets. He can be the counter.

Image

Originally I wanted to cross-stitch his name to go on it, but life got in the way and I had to take that part of the design out. I am happy with how it came out. I still need to press it so that the wrinkles are gone. The picture looks like the bottom strip is crooked. It is straight, I just need to iron it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

She didn't wake at 4; she woke at 6. That's doable.

I have just caught up with this, and it's fantastic. You have really shown your "mummy metal" soldiering through illness(es) -- mum's always get sick last, and often worst -- and a grumpy 3-mo-old is no joke, either. Congratulations! :applesauce: :applesauce:
