Odds & Ends

I finally got around to taking some progress pictures of my cross-stitch. As a reminder, here are the last pictures I took. Now that Nathan is here, I'm feeling less inclined to try and finish Carousel - it's really too girly for a little boy's room ;) So, I think I'll change around my 'rotation' ... again. Admittedly I have fewer hours for stitching now, so I haven't figured out the details, but I'll post them when I do. Anyway, on to the pictures ...





This is a picture I stitched for Nathan's nursery before he was even a twinkle in my eye ;) I started it when I was 18. I washed it this week and will hopefully get it framed and on the wall in the very near future


Today is Peter's first Father's Day, so we tried to make it special for him. I continued a tradition we always had growing up by cooking him breakfast in bed (with help from Nathan of course ;) ). We had also arranged to have Nathan's baby dedication at church today. He looked very handsome in his green outfit - it fit much better than it did when he was only a week old!



Peter and I both worked on the crib yesterday, although Peter did more work than I did. He finished sanding it and we worked together to get the first coat of finish on. It is so beautiful! I can't wait to set it up in the nursery.
