Last month one of my dear school friends gave birth to two beautiful baby boys. Her first son was due on the same day as Isaac, but he came a whole month early and Isaac (in true Isaac style) came when he was good and ready. Neither of her pregnancies have been straightforward and I fully admire her strength and patience; I don't know how I'd handle being made to lie down for a month! But she did and there are three little people here as a result of her determination.
Here it is after a frighteningly expensive trip to the framers!
It's the second piece of embroidery I've done recently, more on the other one another time. I enjoy doing it, but never seem to keep anything I make! This is because I only seem to be motivated to make things for other people. Hmm.
It's the first time I've used long and short stitch for shading, usually favouring satin stitch, but I wanted to try colour grading. I think it turned out quite well [for a first attempt].
That's all I have to say about it really. I hope she likes it!
P.S.: Postage to Germany is not cheap. And glass is not insured. BOO!
