1) My square for Toni's Neighborhood RR.
It is another house from Homespun Elegance's "As Seasons Go By" leaflet. Toni asked that all her squares have either a cat of flowers in them -- as you can see, there is already a cat in my (roofless) gazebo!2) "Regal Peacocks," one of Theresa Wentzler's magazine designs. I dug it out for the TW SAL over at The Wagon BB.
I don't have a "before" picture, but I am making progress....3) The "Wee Shepherd" for my friend's new baby.
He's just the cutest little guy. I really do need to get his other leg finished....good thing he has that staff, or he might fall over! hehehe
As for what I'll stitch for our own impending child -- thanks for the suggestions of Dragon Dreams' Dragonlet piece. I'm not a big fan of the "traditional" baby pieces, though. I prefer things that might grow with the child, at least for a few years. If I were to do a Dragon Dreams design, it would probably be the Kingdom Sampler -- but I don't think I'd get that finished in time! Right now I'm leaning toward something from a Blue Whale leaflet I have called "The Sandman." Cute little designs with verses, and easy to add a child's name, too.
I've also had a bit of a stash urge lately, although I know I shouldn't be spending so much on such frivolous things anymore. *gulp* But anyway, I got a small Silkweaver solo this week (only about $5), and 2 goodies on eBay. One was Cross 'N Patch's "Song of Praise: Merchant Ship" - I really like the smaller design of the ship with the cargo list of spices, and the other was Lizzie*Kate's Autumn Cottage Boxer kit. (Click on the pic to see them bigger!) Now I need to cut myself off for a while, I think...
