So this is one of the many cross stitch projects i've been working on of late - actually it was all done with the exception of the name and date before new years day, but I couldn't really share until it was done.
This was a commissioned piece for a elderly lady I know at church that i've been teaching to craft. She gave me free reign on what I wanted to make - but at the time she asked for it we had know idea if it was a boy or a girl - hence the neutral colours.
The final piece is about 6" square on 14count aida. The card mount is one of only a couple I have left that were specially made for me to make these kinds of cards. Sadly the company that made them for me no longer exists - I don't know what i'll do when they've all gone! Threads are all DMC - my babies! and the feet are a button (which I cut the back off) from a mixed pack I picked up at Hobbycraft.
Thanks for looking. Happy Crafting! x
