Here is my progress so far on my Victoria Sampler Angel "Serena". I think she is looking very pretty. I love the little bird! I think there is a little rabbit I will be stitching, too. I didn't get to work on her today. I want to do the finishing on my Halloween exchange project this weekend, and I still have a bit left to stitch, so that will come first. After I finish this Halloween project I have a sweetbag to finish next week!! Then I think things should slow down a bit. I will have one exchange and one gift to stitch in October, two ornaments in November and one last Birthday gift for December. Whew! This month was the most hectic!
My other exciting news is not really "my" news. I heard from a good friend today that she is expecting her first child. She and her husband are the nicest people and will make absolutely wonderful parents. I am really excited for her! I was thinking of stitching a baby sampler as a suprise. She is only two months along, so there is plenty of time. She will eventually be finding out if she is having a boy or girl, so I will get to know ahead of time. I have never stitched one before, does anyone have any suggestions on something nice? I know her tastes and I think she would like something more traditional or elegant. Maybe along the lines of a Drawn Thread design. I am not sure if there is such a thing as a DT baby sampler, but I will have to look. But I would love to hear about anything nice that is available! Thanks!
