A birth announcement I am working on

oops, I posted the wrong picture.
Here is the finished one. The beads are actually
rose, moss, and creme colored and look a lot softer that the pic shows.

Woo hoo!! Finish #4.
Shepherd's Bush- Mother's Heart

It's a present for Mother's Day for my mom.
Hope she LOVES it.

So, it has been a few weeks (yikes!) since I have posted on here. I am so sorry! I have gone back to work, and it feels great! I went back full time and on dayshift (finally!). I have been working on a present for my mom for Mother's day and haven't posted updates much on fb as I don't want her to know :) I also started a SAL which we are doing Joan Elliott's inspirational words. I have made some changes to the pattern, as you see. I worked on my butterfly fairy for quite a while, I got well into the last page, but have to put her aside while I finish a few that have deadline. I also will start a new one for my cousin's new baby as soon as it arrives in the mail :)

OMG! What is wrong with me? I haven't been here for too long! I have made good progress with Butterfly Fairy, and my hands are getting better and better all the time. I still have soeswelling lingering, which has made the stitching a little slow, and returning to work is still not happening until April 2. Whew. Since my last post, I had a birthday, and my youngest son turned 4. Yay!
